SSMinnow - 2010-02-02 8:09 PM Hey Tony--I meant the will to do it.....you call it an FTP test, I call it a TT test. tomato, tomato, right?

gdctex - 2010-02-02 9:27 PM Hoping to try a couple of them out Saturday...I am out of town this week, in rainy Miami, though the sun did come out today....

Ha!  My wife is down there right now!  She is so Pi$$ed that it is raining.  She was sitting in her meetings today looking at the sun outside.  It was pourning when she arrived there yesterday.

Say hi to her for me!

Jeepguy2358 - 2010-02-02 5:55 PM I need to 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.

Happychick - 2010-02-02 9:42 PM Holy cow...school (along with life in general) is kicking my butt right now and I can't even remember the last time I came by here.  Anyway, I've been plugging along with my (HIM) workouts as if i'm actually going to do one this year.  I had planned on doing Honu (here on the Big Island) but my husband has had a job offer in WA that he has accepted so he will be retiring from the Army 1 May and we will be moving to (very) northern WA!  I see they have a HIM right by where we will be living so as long as the move doesn't totally kick my arse, I am hoping to do it!  (Is that the longest run on ever or what?!)  Now I need to look up the races in that area and get a tentative schedule going so I have something to focus on!

Also, thank you so much for checking in on me even though I have been totally absent from the thread!!

Hello everyone, I've hit a bit of a plateau this week..kind of, but you gotta admit, I was kicking @$$ in the pool...my @$$ that is.

But I have good news!  A Triathlon coach team had offered a free coaching for a month (I lost), but because of the overwhelming requests from cyclists, they offered $10 coaching for a week for 15 weeks in on specific sport. Cheap?? H-e-double.hockey.sticks yeah!

So I'm taking advantage of this offer and going to meet with one of the coaches today to work on my schedule and figure out which ones I should be coached on (Run or the Bike...swim, I'm already doing really good, so I'm happy).

I'm really excited to finally be able to have a SET schedule as that's my biggest rant.
