SBR Utopia - OPEN (Page 129)

Hey guys...been MIA so I am looking forward to catching up and reading some RRs. 

Congrats Chris and Melissa!

I had a busy week with a coworker having a major health scare and a bunch of family stuff. Got in a nice fast century ride yesterday...March was a very good month but April might be a bit of a bust with AIMS (standardized) testing at work and hubby working lots of overtime. 

I have nothing to offer on specific brands but have you tried using men's running shoes?  That's what my wife buys, specifically to get some extra width.

I have pretty narrow feet, so I wear Zoot, you will want to stay away from them. Asics are a lot wider, esp in the front toe box area. You can also get Asics in different widths: I know this because I ordered a pair of Nimbus (ran in that style for 10 years) that were a great sale price, only to find they were extra wide. 

Good luck!

Can't wait to get outside at all for some regular riding like this! Did manage to get out for ~half an hour though, after near 5 months of all indoor.

Congrats Melissa on the great finish! 

Congrats Ben on the win!  cool trophy

Feeling the post-race glow, although it's sorta like Xmas, the anticipation builds and then "poof", it's over    Now I get to live vicariously through other people racing.  Trying to stay as active as possible to avoid the DOMS, but being a desk jockey doesn't help. 

Coach has me right back at it though, although slightly lower volume.  today is off but spun for an easy hour yesterday, gonna put the Hokas in rotation starting tomorrow

Sorry to hear that Kev, listen to your doctor and any other health professionals you are dealing with.  I hope things start coming around for you.

I didn't realize you were out of work either.  How's the pain and swelling?  Hopefully it's manageable and you're making some progress.  I know how frustrating an injury like this is, so I'm sending positive thoughts!

Yep, 4am was a rude wake up call to me this morning as well....even though I didn't get to sleep in yesterday.  Tuesdays seem to be especially hard as I have a master's swim on Monday nights, so I don't get to bed till after 9:30ish.  Everything in my body tells me to bail on the workout, but I feel so much better after doing it....I always have to remind myself of that, and that usually gets me to the bike!

Have fun at your track workout!

You did something before a track workout? This could be fun.

Getting my PT and ortho recommendations together now....

Well, I *was* looking forward to it...

Track plans foiled!  There is still snow on about 25% of the surface.  When will the madness end???

That sounds like.....  fun?    Is this a TT you have done before?

Yeah...it's an uphill TT that I train on quite frequently.  I know every inch of the road like the back of my hand.  Hard not to when you're only going 8-12 mph and you're staring right at the ground most of the time.  LOL. 

I did 22:08 last year and there was a light rain that made the roads wet.  So I'm thinking I should be able to go 30-45 seconds faster this year.

Booooo snow. I'm afraid to go home....
