SSMinnow - 2011-08-03 6:31 AM Most of us are still sweltering so summer's in full swing....who's going to take advantage of it with a little racing this weekend? DO TELL!

 

Not really a race, but I am doing the Pan Mass Challenge this weekend.  It is a large bike ride to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.  I have been told that it the largest fundraiser in the world, with 5600 participants each raising at least $3500.  Lance is doing it, along with Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.   I am participating with a group of about a dozen family friends who are all raising money in memory of and in honor of various individuals who have been affected by cancer.

There are different routes.  We are doing the route that is 90 miles on Saturday from Wellesley MA to Cape Cod and turning around and doing the ride home on Sunday.  I am really looking forward to it -- to spend the weekend with very close family friends, to raise money for a very good cause, and to work on upping my bike mileage. 

 

AWESOME!!!! I did this ride 6 times. Most in the early 90's. On average 97+% of the $ gets to the charity. Last year the check was for...$30,000,000.00+! Yes that is 30 million dollars! We did not have all the different route options. It was Sturbridge to Bourne on day one and Bourne to Provincetown on day two.

There are super rest stops every 20 miles, complete with food, drink, and nurses.

Day 2 started with a ride over the Bourne bridge which is a suspension bridge. I am afraid of heights so this was the toughest part for me. I counted the cones. My adrenaline was SO high when I got off the bridge that I hammered the next 20 miles!

I was in pretty good cycling shape back then and I was playing hockey 5-7 nights/week. I rode hard both days. The rewards were: on day one there were students of a school of massage at the Mass Maratime Academy waiting. They were so bored that you could get two students during your 15 minute massage if you were early. On day 2 if you arrived early you got a HOT shower from the National Guard. The showers later in the day are cold.

High-lights include coming in to a rest stop on day 2 to see a young boy holding a sign that said "I am 4 because of you." with the 4 crossed out and 5 written in.

Riding with friends on both days. Trying to teach them a paceline and then giving up. Riding on the second day with a guy from Harvard and a woman that led tour in Italy. About 75 miles in he asks if I ever take a break. I answered that he could lead anytime he wanted to. He then pulled for 15 seconds and I was back in front pulling us the rest of the way there.

BTW: The friend that got me to ride it still rides it every year. He raised something like $80K last year.

Tobey I envy you. Have a BLAST! And be nice to the towns that open their rodes to you.

 

Thanks.  This is my first time, and I am pretty excited for it.  Everything I have heard about this ride is positive -- the experience, the cause, the organization, etc.

The bonus is that I have family who live about 15 minutes by boat from the Bourne overnight stop, and they are coming to pick me and the other family friends up by boat.  We will stay with them on Sat night and they will take us back by water in the morning.

Interview.

I have posted this about three times and it keeps bombing out. Interesting interview with Tim Noakes, Lore of Running regarding sodium supplementation.  About last 20' of interview.  It basically states that sodium supplementation for long distance athletes is not necessary and does not help dehyrdation one bit.  Doesn't seem to address cramping.  What do people think?

Hey everyone.  I've skimmed the last 10 pages - hope the broken foot is healing, dad's are feeling better, great racing kids, trips to Yellowstone, swimming in the ocean, etc.  Lots of good stuff.

Can I just say this f**ing IM needs to get here already.  It is constantly over 100 degrees in NC and my long training days are just turning into suffer fests.  I know it is good to train in the heat so the cooler weather will be a relief, bla bla bla.  but this sh*t is getting old.   Also it is really hard to find 100 mile rides that don't involve highways or Deliverance neighborhoods.  I'm getting real familiar with 5 am just to try and cut off a little heat!  

Sorry about the bad mood.  I am just SOOOOOO  TIRED!!   I mean stupid tired.  I walk into rooms and forget why I am there.  I'll forget what stroke drill i'm doing half way down the lane, I'm walking into walls (well, that isn't any different than usual I guess), I actually fell asleep between sets on the leg press machine at the gym yesterday, my chiropractor is trying to fix my neck from the whiplash the lovey accident on the 4th caused, tired of blisters, chaffing, saddle sores, sun burns, and I am so tired of spending money I don't have.  I go through one entire bottle of gel a week, not to mention the regular food bill.   I actually gained weight during all this training.  Oh, and did I mention my wetsuit has a big a** tear in it.  Let the hits just keep on coming.

But to be positive our wonderful MG buddy Ryan has offered me his speedy ZIPPS for race day, so even if I'm slow I'll look super cool!   Thanks so much Ryan, I really appreciate your generous offer.

BTW Ryan and Steve,  I am working out the final details on hotel rooms and trips to Victoria this week and will be touch to coordinate wheel pick up/ drop off and car rental.  Steve, I need a big one (car that is).  There guys, I threw you a bone....have fun. 

To be fair though I am super proud of everything I've accomplished through this training.  The transformation of my body is incredible.  Even when I was cheering I wasn't this cut.  I actually thought of having photos taken just to document that I looked this good once in my life.  Because I plan on doing a whole lot of nothing for a while once this is over.  

25 days to go!!!!

Eyes on the finish line Tracy...  I completely hear you on the heat - day #54 IN A ROW over 100*F... gross

Trust yourself and the plan to see it through.  Tons of hard work have brought you this far and you are doing great!
25 days are going to fly by... keep them positive and enjoy the ride!

I am not sure what others say or what research says, but salt tablet's keep me from cramping so I am SOLD!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement guys.  You are always there for me.  I'm thinking the only pics I'll have will be pulling a Kyla on the run course.  Just my luck there will be photographer right there to capture the whole thing.  (nothing but love for you girl. Wink)  Besides, there is no way to compete with Roni's abs!!!

Tobey, that ride sounds great.  What a wonderful cause and very successful.  Have a great time.  

Salt supplementing,  I don't normally have issues with cramping but they help tremendously with keeping my stomach settled and allowing good nutrition absorption.  BTW, I asked earlier about Salt Stick caps vs the Hammer Electrolyte brand and they work so much better for me.  It is a personal choice but this was one where I didn't know how much better I could feel until I tried it.  2 thumbs up from the fried tomato in NC!!

Hah! Thanks, Tracey. You're a sweetie, but they seem to be covered with a layer of fat presently.  I'm working on it though. Maybe I need to dig out an old pic to put on my blog for inspiration.

You're doing amazing, especially with all the hurdles life has been throwing your way lately. I can't wait to watch you kick some azz in Penticton!

I joined a new club tonight while out running and this is the only place I'll admit it.  Was too far from anywhere I could stop, so found a wooded area "close enough but far enough" from the road.  I know Kim is a member (I think the first to admit to it) and I think Kyla too.  Wow, anything to join a club with those two.  Anyway, found my pace picked up after.  Think it was the adrenaline flowing

Thank you, first time for everything...I believe we have two new members in addition to Linda! Welcome to the fraternity of Free Flowing Peeps!

I guess my Twin ratted me out.  Yeah, it's true.  I was out in rural Wisconsin getting ready to do my TT and had to go to the bathroom so bad.  I contemplated holding it, riding back into a town and finding a bathroom, but finally decided just to get it over with right then and there.  I was on a Hwy so there was no real way to do the drop and squat thing that Linda did.  So I thought of Kim and did the sit on the ground (well almost) thing. Sitting completely on the ground doesn't make sense to my bladder...need a tiny bit of clearance. Smile  On one hand it was a huge relief (I mean huge) and on the other hand it was gross! Surprised  I made sure to avoid my fancy white SIDI bike shoes, but I did hit my ROADID Undecided. Eeeeeeewwwwww.  I got on with the TT and then headed home to do laundry.  The amazing thing is my bike seat was unaffected.

Will I make this a regular practice?  NO.  Did it come in handy at that moment? YES.

Havin'Fun - 2011-08-04 8:02 PM I joined a new club tonight while out running and this is the only place I'll admit it.  Was too far from anywhere I could stop, so found a wooded area "close enough but far enough" from the road.  I know Kim is a member (I think the first to admit to it) and I think Kyla too.  Wow, anything to join a club with those two.  Anyway, found my pace picked up after.  Think it was the adrenaline flowing 

Nice work Linda. I love Moms that do that!! What do you think your kids are going to think when John calls them?

FYI - Kim isn't only a member, she is the president!

Thank you, first time for everything...I believe we have two new members in addition to Linda! Welcome to the fraternity of Free Flowing Peeps! Doug admitted as much in his RR, is there someone else who would like to divulge earning their way into the club this week? Anyone, anyone? why is my new avatar sideways!!! Argggh.

I guess my Twin ratted me out.  Yeah, it's true.  I was out in rural Wisconsin getting ready to do my TT and had to go to the bathroom so bad.  I contemplated holding it, riding back into a town and finding a bathroom, but finally decided just to get it over with right then and there.  I was on a Hwy so there was no real way to do the drop and squat thing that Linda did.  So I thought of Kim and did the sit on the ground (well almost) thing. Sitting completely on the ground doesn't make sense to my bladder...need a tiny bit of clearance. Smile  On one hand it was a huge relief (I mean huge) and on the other hand it was gross! Surprised  I made sure to avoid my fancy white SIDI bike shoes, but I did hit my ROADID Undecided. Eeeeeeewwwwww.  I got on with the TT and then headed home to do laundry.  The amazing thing is my bike seat was unaffected.

Will I make this a regular practice?  NO.  Did it come in handy at that moment? YES.

 

So we talking No 1 or No 2?

Wait...wait...wait.  We are talking about having to use the bathroom????  From the red font language above, I thought we were talking about something else entirely.
