SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED (Page 130)

Back from our cruise.  Had a great time.  Beautiful weather the entire time, bathing suits and shorts under warm, sunny blue skies ... until we got home to snow.   

Ate and drank too much!!  I have got a lot of training to do to get over this vacation!

Anyone want to give me the readers digest version of the last 10 days?

WELCOME BACK!!!! 

actually we were hoping you could go through the last 10 days and give us a rundown. 

Hey suck it up and wade through the details like the rest of us do!  Welcome Back....

In a nutshell,

Doug is running so much he needs to buy new shoes every month.
Chris has "issues" due to his new bike position,apparently he is wearing different bike shorts to compensate
Steve still drinks too many J&Cs and visits way less frequently than he used to
Ryan is really buff, check 1 or 2 pages back for proof
Kim is biking a become phenomenon now that she has figured out how to use her CT
Sam is doing some new killer workouts that are leaving her a little sore but wanting more.....
John, Andy, Tony still drink a lot of beer and talk about drinking a lot of beer
Tracy is going to look even hotter in her running gear because she has a skinny waist (and you know what that does to everything else!)
Stan is still trying to figure out how to do a TT on the CT so are a few other people.....still waiting!
The Canadians seem to have a lot of time off to do fun things with their families.....probably have really tiny work weeks up/over there.
Me, I am running a little so complaining a lot less.  Oh and I am leaving for Hawaii in 10 days.

That is all this pea brain could hold.

all you trigger point peeps.   is it really worth the 109 bucks.  would you by used?

Performance Foot and Lower Leg Kit

Hello Kettle....I'd like to introduce you to me friend Black!!

Cabo,Hawaii, Texas coming up to.....  work schedule? What work schedule?

LOVE Trigger Point stuff. I use it all the time. I've got the ultimate 6 kit, which is basically the same as what you've got linked there, but with the addition of the quad roller. It's great for rolling out the ITB.

I'm not sure about buying used. None of the components will really wear out per se, but household pets sometime like to chew on the massage balls.

X2, I have the same kit and think the Quadroller is pretty nice...painfully nice, but it gets in deeper than my foam roller.  Used might be kind of weird, I know I only use mine after I am showered and clean but they are made out of a woven material, that if someone is sweaty...well...uh...might not be nice to think about...

wow.  IM 70.3 Japan just announced.  only 450 bucks.

Yeah but 1,000 bucks for the hotel and food for the weekend.

Oh and suzy, I maybe have one beer a week these days, sadly I have turned into a very cheap date.

How are you guys having problems doing a TT on the Computrainer?

Do you mean a FTP test?

did i really need to add that font?  ;-)

edit..  and updated your weekend budget for that part of the world.  and thats going economy.   lol.

Long day, a bit slow on the uptake...

Have my V02 running test tomorrow, should be fun.

Suzie forgot to tell you that I signed-up for my very first sprint tri at the beginning of March, and that I can run 2.2 miles without stopping to walk.

I was able to do mine.  The thing I am having problems with is finding the file once I export it to a TXT file.  I think it might be a windows 7 issue. 

bring barf bag

There are 2 files, 1 is the rider performance file and the other is the report.

the report is broken if you don't finish the course, it will only show 0's.  It's been a know issue for years.  If you finish the course the report will work.

I need to apologize everyone who had to read through my childish rants yesterday.  It was kind of a heat of the moment thing.  Today was a little better.  The first thing I did was go back to my old bike shorts.  What a difference.  The new Pearl Izumi's padding is in the shape of a saddle.  I did not even notice.  Kind of felt like I was getting a little violated! 

I rode for 1 hr 15 minutes today.  1 hour shifting through the gears in the old shorts, then switched and tried out the new ones for 15 minutes.  Once I realized the design, I made it work.

I still could not get comfortable in my aerobars.  I have my arms resting about two to three inches in front of my elbow.  When here my triceps get tired real fast.  I'd like to move them forward a little and almost rest my elbows on the pads.

The other part is that I feel way too much of my calves being used.  This might be due to the slightly revised pedal stroke the guy is trying to get my to use.  (Press more with the heels). 

Anyway, I am documenting it daily and after a week or two, I am going back to make any neccesary adjustments.  Again, sorry for the rant and thanks for the advice.

Anyone else get this email from XTERRA?  I am getting a speedsuit since Louisville is never ws legal.

i think your rant was completely uncalled for.  And this "apology" of yours will not work.  The only way you will be able to make this up to me is by having a cooler full of beer waiting for me and the other... wait better make that two coolers... at the finish line in augusta. 




you're awesome bro!  don't ever sweat a thing like that!!  great to hear that you're on the way!!!!

Hey Tony--I meant the will to do it.....you call it an FTP test, I call it a TT test. tomato, tomato, right?

2 coolers...we gonna have a crowd.
