Royal(PITA)  14270     West Chester, Ohio |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors New Year 2014--OPENOriginally posted by Artemis Originally posted by QueenZipp Riding on the trainer is so different that it is probably a trainer-specific issue rather than Sweet Mama. I would try adjusting you cleats a bit, and then go back to th original position when you start riding outside again. Hey Manatees!!
I am thinking about doing a bike focus this year--the whole marathon thing has really ruined my legs and love for running--I now run for the pragmatic need to in triathlon and the fact that it's still a good cardio workout.....I want to do a weekend ride that has a metric century over each of 2 days in September......I have plenty of time to get my butt used to being in the saddle and Jorge's winter plan is getting me there......Thing is, I am having pain in the front part of my right knee with almost every trainer ride. I have never had pain in my knees while on the bike before. Sweet Mama has never given me issues before and my fit on her is pretty decent.....Thoughts? Move a cleat position? Change the saddle a touch? Thanks, Jen! I figured that might be a good place to start. I have never had knee pain on the trainer before--and this is different from the knee pain I had during the marathon. |

This is probably more than anybody ever wanted to know about foot anatomy, biomechanics, and cleat positioning ... but just in case The down 'n' dirty takeaway is first look to see if your right knee is tracking straight throughout the pedal stroke (not going right or left). If it is, it's possibly a degrees-of-rotation issue. Secondly, if that's in order, move the cleat a little more towards the midfoot. |

Monica, stay warm and run like the wind! Erin, wish I was joining you in the Papago. But it's that darned off-road thing, ya know? Lana, Swim like a Manatee, Ride like ya stole it, and Run like the wind (and don't swallow duck droppings) HAPPY FRIDAY ALL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh TJ, that made me smile! Firstly, I'm in Chi-beria so staying warm is pretty much off the table from the get-go. Secondly... run like the wind?? I don't think I've ever done any such thing... nor am I capable of any such thing! How about I bundle up to the point that I can't put my arms down or resemble the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man and plod along at my usual frozen molasses pace until I get to the finish line? That, I can do! warm molasses would be better |

Change the saddle a touch? I don't know what the mechanics are exactly but I always have knee issues when a lot of trainer rides or spin classes but I never (knock wood) have issues when I do my rides outside. Clearly, at least for me, something changes in the my pedal stroke and I am apply the force in a different way inside versus outside. I figure that it's similar to running on a treadmill not being the exact same as running outside. |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors New Year 2014--OPEN Originally posted by jmkizer You'll have to give it a try and tell. Me how you liked it. Ive turned from a 95% vegetarian to 100% ( will see how long it lasts), so that recipe is not for me. I bought Fitzgeralds racing weight book . I'm pretty happy with my weight, but would like to take off a couple of pounds to see if it really will make me faster! We'll see if this book can help me do that.Originally posted by amd723 Any manatees have this cookbook by Matt Fitzgerald? http://www.amazon.com/dp/1937715159/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=3186763...

| 46 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors New Year 2014--OPEN Happy Friday Manatees!! I am off work today so it is an especially happy Friday for me! 3 day weekends are the best. I am feeling a bit under the weather though, so that's no fun. I think it is my body still adjusting to the switch to a NSNG diet. I have had multiple headaches over the last week and feel extremely tired and run-down. I have read where that is normal though. Going through a "sugar withdraw" I suppose. I hope I feel a little more energized tomorrow because I have a swim to do and I don' want to miss it! One more question about this site: I want to so very badly be able to upload my training logs like everyone else is doing and be connected to you all in that way, but it seems that I have to get a subscription to the website in order to do that? The bronze, silver or gold? Everyone have a great weekend! And for those of you who live somewhere where it is warm right now, I'm jealous Ashley |

Master 4452 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors New Year 2014--OPEN Welcome Scott and Mark! Janyne, as usual you have outdone yourself! Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Racers! Heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal DL'ers! I had a great swim this morning. I was in a lane with one other woman, who was MUCH faster than I. That means that I can just swim my own swim, without someone on my heels. So I was really working on technique. The beginning part of my swim I was getting a really good 'feel' for the water on the pull. Someone mentioned that it should almost feel as though you are pushing (pulling) against something solid and it did! Then I started focusing on body rotation and felt I was really feeling that! I haven't been in the water much in the last few months, so it was very cool. Now, to just put it all together... |
