swbkrun with us!!! - Closed (Page 110)

I have been trying to figure that out too since you first wrote it.  Not sure what that means unless you are riding in the big ring in front, small cog in the bag with the resistance jacked up and not breaking a sweat!!  (admittedly, I know not a whole lot about trainers...have a nashbar fluid trainer and it has suite me fine).

This feels like a dumb suggestion but maybe you should ask Ryan what he means???

And if he keeps pushing, tell him you need a CT!!!

When is the new race?  If it is in June, I think either will work.  Honestly, I do Olys for speed training and you gotta whole lot of that already!  You know what's funny?  I'm doing an Oly on 6/19, a HIM on 7/18 and IM WI with you....TWINDOM.

John, I kind of agree with Trevor, but you certainly would be able to do it without an issue unless you totally blow yourself apart in IM (which I am not expecting).

Hmmm how can I PM him. HE NEEDS THIS DOG...  

I would totally love to adopt that dog. I think if I had another one my wife would shoot me. Although our first malamute was my dog. I said WAS because she is totally my wife's suck. My wife's first dog she ever had. I had to beg for 3 years... now She is Tina's 8 year old suck...

Except in the winter where she stays outside 80% of the time we are home.. its hard to get her inside even after a nice long walk or pull she heads right back outside. I can't pull her anymore due to an ankle injury.

I personally prefer the malamute over the husky now. But love both breeds.

Couple of buddies from work want to do one of these warrior runs.

Looks like a BLAST.... and I am thinking of doing this one  http://irunflint.com/race-schedule/warrior-dash/

anyone ever done one of these. This is a less then serious race I am sure.

I think I might have paid the parking fee today if I were you!!!

Plenty of room, Trev!  Howling winds and rain the past few days, however.  Long run tomorrow morning, and thank you!  Now, I am looking on the bright side that I am not up there in Calgary!   You are pretty hardcore for riding your bike to work in that weather!   Hope the ride home is a little warmer. 

I wanted a fluid but picked up a cycleops magneto for $120 on craigslist  

2nd day in a row I have worn shorts. Rode to work, @ 7am and it was 55, it's supposed to be 70 here today. 

Cooler this weekend, in the 40's so using all the sunlight thats out there today.

Blah, blah, blah about your warm weather .  I'm with Trev.  It is frickin' freezing and windy here today.  I'm running outside, but in tights and a long sleeve shirt and a hat......

Damn dude...

Awww that just means it is coming my way. I woke up to 49 degress F this morning it warmed up over night. Snow is melting everywhere. Fields are flooded. Peoples basements are flooding from the snow melting. It is supposed to drop back down to 34 by this afternoon.

I am thinking we might have our first group ride this weekend. Winds are suposed to be 10-20 mph Saturday and 30-32 degrees.

I hope to get out but if the winds are up to 20mph I don't want to know the wind chill and I will hit the trainer.

Actually,there should be tons of room. With you two heading out of town.
Make sure you gals buy shirts like these:

 Hey Chris they have one of these in Ontario this year. I was going to do it but it is the same day as another of my scheduled races. It does look like it would be a blast.

Speaking of Kyla I was flipping around channels last night and I think it was on FX they had a commercial for cougarlife.  It was hilarous, it's a dating website for cougars had an awesome jingle as well.  Must see TV.

Tough crowd here today... what have I done to earn such abuse??!!!  

really you have to ask?

Trevor, you are more of a man than I if you were on your bike at -9 degrees this morning. 

Not to rub it in or anything, but on my 2.5 hr. ride this afternoon, it was approaching 75 degrees.  Send some of that cooler weather down here, I hate it when sweat drips on the inside of your shades.

Serious question though...  I spent most of the 2.5 hours in aero today, and my frigging neck and shoulders just couldn't take it anymore.  Holy crap.  I am not even in a very aggressive position but looking forward and up seems to be placing alot of strain on the neck.

Any of you have any tricks up your sleeve, or is it just going to take a little time in the saddle to get the body used to?

Barry, the first couple rides back in aero are hard for me as well.  If it doesn't  get better after that I know it's a fit problem and I have it looked at. 

Oh, and by the way, just did a 4 mile run in 78 degrees.  Yes, I know you hate me and I'm cool nice and warm with that.

Oh, cry me a f'ing river already!!!!!!

My neck gets crampy in aero when I'm not as used to it. I think it gets better with time, but seeing as I haven't ridden the tri bike outside in forever I can't comment. Inside on the trainer I am switching positions all the time, but have found for longer stretches my tush is much, much happier being aero, so there is that!!

Trevor -- I quit smoking yesterday. Time for a new picture.

John -- thanks for the link... there is hope!!! I can't wear fancy Victoria's Secret bras cuz, well, yeah, cuz. That said, I hate wearing bras (which is another reason why I loved Bree Wee's blog the other day, although she waited WAAAAAY too long to take hers off, IMO), so the fact that fancy ones don't fit me doesn't bother me one bit. (Er, that would be one itty, bitty bit!)

Not sure when/where/how I became such a cougar. I guess now would be the wrong time to tell you about the cute little bag boy at my local grocery store who is training for Vineman?! Yeah, I check up on his training when I see hiim. Ha!!

Edit: After reading Tracy's post, I think I remember the woman who did my initial bike fit telling me that if I had really bad neck/shoulder pain to consider elevating the aero pads a bit. Can't remember if we did that or not eventually, but something to consider in the fit department...

Thanks Dan.  Good info.

Yeah keep at it a bit.  If you're still experiencing pain you could mess around with some positioning stuff, moving aerobars around and all, but I would stick with it for awhile 2.5 hrs in aero is a very good start.

Wow, someone's reputation precedes her!
