Ironman Lake Placid : Official Thread (Page 144)

You dont need to spend the big bucks to replace the entire crankset.  I just replaced my inside chainring, which can be done w/ most cranks.  I bought a new bike and was unsure I wanted the crankset on it, but decided to just change the inside (small) chainring.

Works great!  I'd suggest a 34 tooth...  Good luck!

I am in the same boat as you.  I am spending my "off-season" doing the following: reading books on building cycle speed/strength to understand what is going on, strength training and starting earlier in the winter on a cycle program so by the time spring roles around I am ahead of last year.   I am going on the theory I will improve with more training.

But like you said, my average heart rate when cyclying is pretty low, if I do try to get my heart rate up by cycling harder, I won't last long.  I averaged 17.38 mph at LP, and even going up the hills my heart never went past 140. 

For what it's worth, my resting pulse is 52.

Anyways, my point is you're not alone...

Good plan.  At least a week off.  Do you eat, and then eat again?  I see to do nothing but eat.  Played golf on Saturday (3 hot dogs at the 9th as it was raining) - i kept checking me HR. 

My buddy offered me his bib for the NY mara in Nov - yeehaa.  Run planned for after work.

SWIM!!!!   Like it..   not swiming till 17days before next year race and going to see if i can go quicker again. 

That's all I did this past week I ate even when I didn't want to eat.  Today is the first day back to normal eating.  Now I just need a new plan for whatever is next.  I think I got all the eating out of my system for now. 

I believe it has....

Lots of ifs here -

Did you have have permission from the photographer?

When you say borrow - do you mean borrow or "borrow" - generally in rights management if you have to ask...

If this person makes their living from the photos and you "borrowed" then yes they could raise a stink.  Will they, who knows; but the flip side is these folks are providing a service and are not volunteers.  If you do purchase "copies" you will want to look at the agreement that comes along with it.  All this presumes the photogs are going to raise a stink and balance that with your level of fairness in the market.

I deal with rights management a fair bit with artists so the above is an opinion.  There are a lot of variables. 

  I had the cardiac catherter this morning and they found no issues with my heart other than a little plaque in one arter, totally normal and some a little high blood pressure in my right atrium. My heart appears fine. I will get an electrocardiogram about the right atrium pressure but they do not think I have any heart related issues.

My incedent on race day may have just been Swimmer induced pulmonay edema.  I will find out more in 3 weeks when I meet up with the cardiologist again.

So far so good. It appears I will be fine fo IMLP 2013

Have stayed here twice, a bit on the pricey side but worth it. Only 5 day minimum and there's plenty for the fambly to do; 4 pools and canoe/kayak rental right across the street. Grocery, etc. just up the street the other direction away from the busier area of town.

this was the best advice I got and I'm so glad I took it to heart...

execution on race day is about doing your best in controlling the things you can control

I will remember this advice if (when) I ever attempt the long course again

Doug-Glad to hear the cath went well and you are back on the road to IMLP 2013!

I'm not doing 2013 (will be volunteering though), I'll be over when I get 2012 up to 200 pages.  I just can't let it go

I will be moving them to a Google account, so I have LOTS there.  I am not worried about space....

Thanks for sharing this.  ONly issue there is I can't download them.  But will be happy to look through and see if there is one of me!

best,t

How much space do you get,  the wife took over 600 pictures.  Mainly of a bunch of men in tight spandex on the bike, which she said she was "Practicing" for when I came.  There has to be somebody she caught in there.
