Master  2621    Almaden Valley, San Jose, California |  Subject: RE: SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closedcopa2251 - 2011-07-19 10:21 PM Lots of fascinating (???) information re: urinating etc, I'll never be able to look at female triathletes the same way again! I have to ask, don't your shorts/knicks stink after a while on the run? Anyway, glad it works for you... I'm having a "recovery week" which really means I'm avoiding any exercise in the vain hope that my knee will settle down and won't turn out to be anything serious. So far, so good; I couldn't weight bear on Monday but I can almost walk without a limp today. I think I'll avoid running for 2 weeks and just do swimming and cycling next week. I DIDN'T pee.....and I stunk so bad on the ride home I made myself queasy. Didn't help that Jeff smelled just as bad. The baby wipes didn't help so much. I don't know that pee could have made it any worse. I can't even imagine admitting that 2 years ago!!!! Not racing this weekend. Meet referee at swim champs here....gonna be a long, hot 3 day weekend. I also picked up a bug this weekend, I think. Maybe the wheezing was the first sign - dunno - but not feeling well. Good luck to all of the racers - once again, hats off to all of you doing it in the extreme heat I keep hearing about. Wow. |

Tony sent me this link to a new tri series forming. http://www.slowtwitch.com/Interview/HITS_has_horsepower_2208.html I am very familiar with Tom Struzzieri as I spent many years at his shows in Florida in the winter and Virginia in the summer. He puts on a good horse show so it will be interesting to see what he does w/ a tri. He is a super organizer and knows how to cater to the clientele. And a bonus that is a triathlete himself. Also nice to see more options popping up to compete w/ IM. I think they need a little cage rattling to keep improving. And there will more opportunities to sign up for races instead of camping by your computer.
thats cool and i hope it works. 15% military discount is so f'ing awesome!!!!! and it appears he did not overlook something that so many do... you have to have a military ID, NOT an active duty ID. in a day and age when such a huge percentage of members of the reserve and national guard are out there serving right along side active duty members in these bullsh+t wars, well this is AWESOME!!!! looks like he's going up against wtc directly in some locations. good. and so cal is cool. marble falls is very cool. having said that, a brief review of the pricing structure still shows wtc lower than them (and REV3). i always found that argument funny from the wtc bashers. Is Marble Falls a good location? I was actually looking at it for somehting in the Spring, but it seemed kind of remote.
I thought Seattle was in the SPRING TIME??? |

I have tried to choose long rides that closely match the elevation profile for IMWI, but nothing like the real thing! Report back on how awesome it is!

No racing for me this weekend, but I have been training right through this heat wave, so it kinda feels like an accomplishment. Today's run was at 94 degrees with a heat index of 112. To add to the ongoing peeing topic, I've found that I sweat so much that you can't tell if I've peed or not :-) Can I just add that it was f-ing hot out there today and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. I hope when it cools down I will notice some increases in my running speed and/or endurance, because for now my times are sucking :-) Oh, and in case you didn't know . . . our (womens') pee doesn't stink--EVER Loving the laughs and I think someone should quickly patent a "woof-beater" shirt.

Master 1539 Sin City | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed Wow...topics are all over the place!! Funny thing is - I saw a sign in a Port a Potty that says, "THIS IS A URINAL, NOT A CARGO HOLDER." I was like, wtf...who the hell would use that thing to hold their "stuff"? Never peed on the bike. I'm a little scared to though. I have never seen anyone from my group rides do that. We don't race, but still.
Not racing. I registered for my first Century, Remembrance Ride 91.1k for 9/11, and Pedal for the Medal for Special Olympics. No triathlons, but I'll get a lot better at cycling! I HOPE! I would LOVE for my avg speed on all rides to be 15-17mph. I'm sick of being slow. The only way to get better is to ride lots...and more and some more.
This weekend I'm camping/hiking with Stardust (my doggie). It will be her first overnight camping trip. Hope it turns out okay! It's been 105-115 degrees in Vegas. 82 avg degrees at Mt. Charleston...with the temps dropping below 60's at night. It's gonna be worth it. :-) Good luck to all the racers!!! |

Good Luck this weekend to all the MG racers! On the flip side, Seattle has had 78 minutes -- MINUTES -- over 80 degrees this summer. Really, I'm not complaining (too much), since I do melt in the heat!! Good luck on that long run!! |

I could email you my race strategy doc if you'd like. It includes packing lists, the few days before and the day off - plan, nutrition, warmup, paces, etc... of course you would need to tailor to yourself but it might be a nice starting point. |
