Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Way to much to try and keep up with these days. I did finally finish my virtual bike ride though. Not bad but I think I could have done better. I'll post it sometime in the next day or too. Way busy around my place now betwee 12 hour work days and training and yard work. etc. Good luck to all you racers if I don't get back on to wish you well before the weekend. Knock the socks off Boise Roni and Steve. |

I know the sensor is a good thing to have to have though. HAHA I am still trying to figure out what to tell my wife to get me for Fathers Day, probably just a gift certificate from LBS. I already told the girl at the Tri-Store that there will be a lady coming in looking like a deer-in-the-headlights. Do not let her buy anything!! Only a GC is acceptable! |

Funny I was reading someones race report from Mooseman and he was talking about riding next to a guy on a "beautiful Planet-X" and riding next to for a long time and talking from time to time. Small world. I talk a lot when racing. When I ride by or next to someone I usually say hi or "nice day for a ride" or something similar. When running I always say something to spectators or other racers, not sure but it seems to calm me down to talk when racing, anyone else do that? |

Unfortunately for me during the race its usually in response to an "on your left". At a minimum I'll tell almost everyone that passes me or those poor souls that I pass that they are looking good or something along those lines. For that matter, on my training runs there are several dogs I talk to. |

I bet I could save a few minutes off my times if i stopped talking. This weekend my favorite was " It'd sure be a nice day if that wind wasn't blowing..have a good ride." |

Well we do this for fun right? I tend to ask spectators pushing strollers for a ride, I ask spectators drinking beer if they have any extra (Every time I ask when racing I always get offered one....) I always try to offer encouragement if the course is out and back. If they are in front of me coming back on my way out I usually say "good run, race, etc" If I am on my way back in and they are on their way out, especially if they look like they are struggling, I say looking strong, almost there, etc. Most other people racing don't say anything in response, but it is actually really nice to have people that look like they are about to die light up and smile back at you and say thanks when you say something nice to them. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks guys for the good luck wishes. I think I am ready, although this last week I have been not doing as much training and that is where the second thoughts creep in. I am trying to get some rest this week and focus on this race, as it is the first and it is a long way from the HIM, so I have been doing a little tapering to feel fresh. I hope it works, but I can see why people talk about going crazy during taper period. You feel like you should be doing something. One thing I have learned about triathlon. HIDE YOUR RECEIPTS! I have gone on a little spending spree this week...you know...gotta look good. I have realized that it might be beneficial to destroy all tri receipts after purchase. I mean, it is not absolutely necessary that your spouse know how much this is costing ![]() |

All I can say is we have a group of awesome racers!! Congrats to everyone who raced this weekend and kicked but! I can finally say that I am racing this weekend. A Sprint which was my first ever when I did it last year! I am hoping to better my time, but what with being sick, I will be okay if I don't! I have my new wheels on my bike, with a brand new cassette (thanks for the advice Steve), and I am ready to go!! Keep up the good work everyone! Karen So what are your goals for this race then? Being your first of the year, and a repeat of your first ever tri? I saw last year you did it in 1:46:36..... I have been thinking about this. Usually, I have three separate goals. One, I tell everyone - I just want to finish. One, I tell my family - a reasonable time that I am sure I can do, so when I beat it everyone thinks I did great. ![]() Karen |

This is one of the things I really like about the tri community - while there are few tri-snobs out there, just about everyone is encouraging and helpful for people like me who are nowhere near competitive and are in it to finish it! |

The beauty is we have couple money and separate money and when I buy something outrageous, I use my own credit card. If I deem it passable, I put it on the couples card and he pays the bills. Works like a charm most months. Karen--nice job on the swim. That time is similar to my own 800 yards in the pool. Between adrenaline and a wetsuit I was significantly below that last Sunday. I think you will surprise yourself. Just stay calm, breathe slowly and if you get flustered take a moment to regroup. You will do great! Suzy |
