Aweseom links Tim. Would love to see the band live sometime. Your in Chicago right? I have been there yet - you never know.

Tim watched your video, pretty sweet!!!!

No training for me today snorkled and hung out in sun all day.  Will have to make up for it tomorrow.

I will have to try that netty pot stuff some day, Scott you do it everyday??

Computrainer class tonight - omg, it kicked my butt!

I want to try that one of these days - I have a friend who goes to spin class and he loves it.

Nice work - way to go 

Ok - tomorrow I pick some races for the 2011 season and start working on a specific training schedule.

cool stuff tim.  i like it. 

my wife bought one a few years ago and we use it when we get sinus infection.  have not thought about using it regularly but should since i have to small kids running around with snotty noses all the time.

Enjoy your time on vacation Coach

Kevin if you pick one in MI or OH let me know, maybe I try and sign up for it also.  Would be cool to do a race with everyone in the group. 

I say everyone should join Scott and I and do IMWI.   Can be a big training group. :-)  

J/k to bad there wasnt a central race. 

Deb does your class use actual computrainers if so that is so cool. I wish I could get 7 others to buy them in our area so we could hook them up and race each other.

When is it? You never know, I might be able to do it.

IM Moo is 9/11/11 the 10th anniversary of the attacks.  Will be a ZOO!  But should be moving and fun.  The regular spots are closed.  Check for the charity spots.  Cost 2X as much but you get in.

I do use the Neti pot every day and have since Nov. 2009.  I had one very minor day long sniffle attack last winter and one very light 3-day respiratory thing this winter so far.  Usually I have 3 massive cold attacks every winter.  I attribute it to the Neti Pot and vitamins.  I use it in the shower.  Comes with very mild salt packets.  Put one in warm water and use the tea pot looking device to pour in one nostril then the other.  It cleans out the sinus and gets those little hair thingies that are there working in concert to keep out germs. 

Really good tunes Tim.  I asked a spin instructor about play lists this morning at Masters.  She says there is a web site where they exchange ideas...musicforcyclists.com.  Gonna check it.

I ran 5K on the TD last night in 28 mins with a slow warmup first mile. That may be slow to you, its good for me especially in the winter.   I also lifted, stretched and did yoga and foam rollers.  Masters this morning.  Time int he water is really coming down.  I took the coach's advice, bought some flippers for training and it really helped the kick.  No dead spots any more and I am not over twisting.  He also has me reaching better and now I'm working on finishing the stroke better and gliding.  Amazing how fast I am compared to the start of winter with just a few adjustments.

Y'all have a good day.

  

Did a 4 mile run last night for the first time in God-knows-how-long...Felt good.  Tendons on the outside of my ankle are feeling a little loose, so I'm going to be watching that.  Bagged the strength training as I have spin class tonight. 

Thinking that this will serve as kind of an experiment since I did a strength workout the day before spin class on Monday and I paid for it.  Need more recovery time.

i think it would be cool for everyone to do a race together.  maybe an olympic or half at end of season to give everyone time to train.  when is the nashville race?

i quickly looked up computrainer and found cost around $4-5k.  is that correct or can you buy it for less?  is it something you can buy the basic and add to later?

That would be amazing - I could work something into my schedule at the end of the summer?

That would be great if we could all do a race together - great idea! As late in the season as poss would be perfect.The computrainers - yes, it's an actual class. My local Y has 8, and do classes a few times a week, along with open sessions on the weekend.Neti pot. I watched it on YouTube - can find anything on there lol - it looks, erm 'interesting'.

Just had time for a 30 minute bike and a 10 minute stretch today  sad but good enough for today I guess.

Curling practice tonight 6:30-8:30

Detroit Curling Bonspiel start Friday morning at 9 am. Probably won't get any Tri specific workouts for the next couple of days but I promise I will be working up a sweat on the rink sweeping

Will check in on my blackberry to say hello.

Have a great weekend everyone.

PS - my pool opens up again in 3 days - I can't wait to get back in there looking like a drowning rat again LOL - but I am going to keep trying.

What is everyones opinion about triathlon shorts and shirts? Are they worth the cost?

Sorry, I saw this question before and meant to say something.  Yes, you need them.  You can swim, ride the bike and run in the shorts.  You need a shirt of some kind and tri shirts are tight to be aero, they dry fast after teh swim and wick sweat and they have pockets. 

Is there a big difference between the more xpensive ones and the cheaper ones? Anyone have brand loyalty?

When I saw your post yesterday I went to get the link of the shorts I have been using (Aevero) and they are OUT OF BUSINESS.  The shorts were dirt cheap- $30 I think.  The jerset was kind of cheezy and I ended up only using it once and buying a different top - but the shorts have held up for 1 years worth of races and I wear them at the pool.  Totally bummed becasue I was meaning to buy another pair.  So no - I don't have any help for you on this one. 

As far as price - it is all personal preference.  Like I said I had THE CHEAPEST and I loved them.  As long as they fit good I don't think you should have any issues.  My preference is minimal padding.

I'm feeling rather squiffy - I think it's nausea. Could just be horror??
