US West Team - May "President's Cup" challenge (Page 10)

10 minutes should be the absolute maximum time between disciplines for it still to count as a brick.

If you think about it, the purpose of brick training is to help prepare you for completing all three discplines consecutively on race day. And on race day (I'm guessing) you're not going to sit in transition for 10 minutes...

So while 10 minutes is the limit, I'd encourage people to try and keep their transition time down to a minimum. It does make a huge difference to your race performance.

cheers!

No, I don't have a dog. Just found the picture online. I don't "have" a sealion, but I did name a local one. There is a male that hangs out in the marina I live on. I see him almost every time I kayak or run...even occasionally on the bike or OW swimming. I call him Buju!

 You probably can't get in because it's such a long stupid rant. LOL.  Those are my two brand new nephews. Rory and Ewan born April 4th 2008.  I had to leave them behind in Scotland

Hi everyone, just a quick check in to say hi.  I haven't had time to read the thread yet, but I will!  I rode yesterday and did a bike/run brick (on hills) today!  Yay!

More later from this West Team member.

To answer your question whether it is considered a brick.

Hey Julie my blog is up again...can you not see it!?

Ladies and Gentlemen. I have some exciting news.

TADA!!! I bought a NEW BIKE with my STIMULUS CHEQUE!!!!!  I am ONE happy Camper.   My husband and I also reserved a smart car. We won't get it till next year however. Gosh what a day. Boy do I feel so much better.  I opted out of my swim and run though as time just got too late. So I apologize for that. I WILL make it up on my days off so don't worry

Isn't she lovely.  $1100 worth but I got her for a measly $800.  I am overjoyed and anxious to ride her.  She needs a name too!!!!!   I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan so I was thinking of calling her something in relation to that.  OH glee. Excuse me while I obnoxiously clap my hands over and over.  

I don't know, my last tri I had 9 and 8 minute transitions and yes, I did want to sit in T-2 much longer. I have seen 20 + minute transitions in races.

At the Danskin Tri last year. I felt quite unwell. Combination of cramps and going out on the Friday before the race. I sat and looked around for a good 10 minutes too.  

It would look good with red.  And your devil hat!  She's purty, congrats!  Can't wait for our Saturday ride!!!!

I managed a brick tonight, at least I am calling it one, it was bike then swim. Kind of like a tri in reverse.  I posted some new photos today, official race ones in my Mt. Rainier duathlon album and a bunch in my blog of the new doggie and my kids.  So if you are bored, have a gander.
