(blushing)

But yay!!!! Pretty colors!!! THANKS, Suzy!!! Now I can post GIRLY stuff in HOT PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Dan, thanks for the tip about hovering over someone's avatar to get into their training log. I swear, that was a life-saver for me (stalker)!! Still figuring this whole thing out -- finding rich formatting was a bit convoluted but I'm sure I'll sleep better tonight!!

Peace out!!!

You can post MANLY stuff in HOT PINK too!

Depending on what the doc will allow, try to be active without training.  Longer, fast paced walks.  Biking at a leisurely pace instead of a training pace, hiking.  The extra week that doc is telling you to take won't set you back much but messing up the surgery site by starting back too soon could set you back a lot longer.

Plus...considering the surgery site we are talking about, an injury there could impact your ability to bodysurf and that would be devastating!!!!

you bet!  Post a bio so we can get to know you.  If you check earlier pages you will see most of ours!

Sorry. Forgot to change access to my training log.

Should be alright now.

Congratulations on finding your way back to exercise after such a debilitating issue.  Sounds like you have your race goals firmed up nicely!  Look forward to checking out those logs. 

Summer vacation coming up in end of june and will spend 2 weeks in Portugal. I will be in week 8 of my 12 weeks sprint plan and wondering what to do? Running and swimming sessions will be ok I guess. Will suffer on my bike sessions. Initial thought is to go back to week 6 when I get home and pick it up from there. Any suggestions?

I spend two weeks in Hawaii every year with no bike and "some"OWS, but not a lot and not at any meaningful intensity.  I let my run workouts carry me and when I return I start right back on the plan.  The first ride or two will be tougher, but that's the carrot!  Just make sure you get those runs in the way the are written and you'll fine!  

Trying to be patient and learn this new site, but the ADHD is flaring. AAAGGHHHH!!!

Not racing this weekend (HA! Bit late for the response, eh?) Watched my eldest graduate with her Master's Wednesday -super proud, but training this week has suffered a bit. Tried to make it all up yesterday and today. OY. Need to find a training plan, quickly, and stay with it!!

Welcome to the newbies! Mike, take care of the critical bits. Another week off won't kill you - and if I was your wife, I wouldn't want you taking the risk!

LONG TERM!!! Life is an endurance sport!!

And HOW do I add color?!?! GO SHARKS!!!! Needs to be teal and large.

eta:  I got it!  Woot!!

I'm curious.   Does anyone use tubulars?   If so, can you provide some insights into how difficult it is to deal with a flat?

Yes and No.  Having ridden the bike only once no experience with the flat,  yet.  I bought pit stop to go along with mine which is not only air, but a sealant which is supposedly able to close the hold assuiming it isn't some enormous gash in the side wall.  I was very reluctant to go this route and only did so because of the limited availability of good 650 wheels.

Suzy...I can give you the wheels off one of my kid's bikes if you need some small wheels.  They are clinchers!!
