I always run (and bike) by time and not distance.  I know my paces pretty well so if I have an 80 minute Z1 run, I know I'm going to go about 9.5 - 10 miles.  The reason I train by time, is that its a better measure of stress on the body.  The goal is to stress the body for a specific amount of time, not to achieve any distance. 

Most of the time yes. TH is lactate threshold, so its possible to work (for a quite a while) above TH.  For example, a 5K will be done well above TH.  Usually when I do something like Hill bounding or mile repeats my HR hits and stays in the high 170s. 

I know I am getting this for Christmas ... can't be too safe, I could need it

I would like this for Christmas : Cycling with the Manx

Unfortunately I already received my Christmas Present (the USAT Level 1 clinic in Febraury).

I think I'm getting a second Garmin speed/cadence sensor for xmas.  I put mine on my road bike which I have on the trainer, but want one for my tri bike for outside rides.  Poor husband ordered something off of Amazon and I saw it hit our bank account.  I think that's what it is, but I'm letting him think he surprised me.  Of course, I could be completely off base, and he ordered something for himself!

Other than that, nothing else tri related.  I did ask for a couple of Gorilla bottle cages, but all I got out of that was a laugh when he saw the price.

BTW - Desoto shorts are the best.

I got a renewal to the boot camp fitness thing I was trying out for Christmas.

For next year as far as goodies go, I hope I'll get myself a cross bike built. Have a friend that builds frames and have been wanting one for a while now. It'll cost a little more, but it will be straight and 100% built for me. 

Beyond that, nothing really. If I continue down the Oly distance path I might think about a tri bike in the future. But not right now.
