Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 109)

Houstonrider - 2010-03-18 3:22 PMToday was a big day for me as far as training goes...... Averaged 21.1 mph on a solo training ride, neighborhood, lights, stop signs, and wind but the barrier was finally broken. It was only a 20 mile ride but I was very pleased.

bzgl40 - 2010-03-18 3:58 PM Thought I would share with everyone my new method of getting my heart rate up.  At midnight while wondering the house sick this is what I came upon.  I was a little baffled as to what to do at first so of course I went and got the camera.   I think it is a bark scorpion but not 100% sure.  Can anyone tell?  My research last night had me going to between two different kinds.

evondo - 2010-03-19 8:42 AM BTW http://www.sportsscientists.com/ has a very good in-depth write up on barefoot running...

Kevin- You still liking your Vibrams? I've noticed you've done a good job easing them into the routine and not overdoing it which is something that article suggests as well.

bzgl40 - 2010-03-19 11:14 AM I have an interesting weekend planned.  Trisports is leading a ride up Mt. Lemmon this Saturday so I am thinking I might join.  It's weird driving to the start of a ride that would actually be the same miles from my house...  I am not sure this is a sane choice for a ride given the shortness of all my other rides and the insane climbing that this ride has, but oh well.  Tina is refusing to let me back out of it.  Sunday I am heading off to some desert museum somewhere or other to look at something or other.  Plus a 2 hour run in there.  So I am not sure I'll do too much on top off all that.  I am starting my two weeks of on call (first week backup) so things will be pretty tame for a bit, especially next weekend.

I don't ready to many tri blogs, but you ever need some HTFU motivation check this one out.

Nicole83 - 2010-03-19 12:44 PM My vote is to make the drive and do it.  Being new to the area you might make new friends or find people who live close to you who might want to ride other days of the week.

Nicole83 - 2010-03-19 12:42 PM Happy Friday everyone!

I am feeling a tiny bit better today and hoping that continues throughout the weekend.  The weather is supposed to be fantastic and I would really like to get outdoors and play.  We shall see I suppose.


Eric, when was/is your bike fitting?  For some reason it's in my brain that it was last night.  If it was, how did it go?


Hope everyone has an easy day and a great weekend!

evondo - 2010-03-19 1:54 PM Bike fitting got moved to today since I swapped bike choices so I'll be leaving from work to get it done

Hope you continue to feel better and get some nice outdoor training in!

bzgl40 - 2010-03-19 2:13 PM Man, peer pressure.  OK, I give, I'll do the Lemmon ride, even though I am painfully shy and hate meeting new people.  But I am whining to you all when I am incredabily sore from biking too much.  I do have to go find some new peeps to hang out with, especially since Tina got her schedule and is gone near all of April.  Still have friends I can call if something happens on my long rides but I'd rather be with someone during any issues I guess.

Interesting thing at the pool today.  Guy in the lane next to me goes "Oh, you swim with a Walkman?" to which I replied that I did cause it made the laps go by much faster, but I could not resist making fun of the fact he called it a Walkman.  I haven't heard that term in a long time.
