back from the 10k....Big PB for me. 52:3X was offically chipped. So going according to Mr. garmin.
Will do a RR later. Lets just say i didnt think I could hold it, but I did. Amazing what your body can do when your mind shuts it off.

Kind of nervous about answering this, but I'll give it my best.  I typically use a two beat kick - but let me clarify this by saying I am a distance person more than a sprinter.  Sprinters tend to use a six beat.  The six beat kick tires me more, and for a distance race I don't want to come out of the water with my legs shot.   Suzy, you probably are kicking but you just are focusing more on your upper body and aren't noticing your legs

Did you ask him about his new cycling coach : )

I dont have a code... but speaking of infinit...

Is there a special trick to not getting it to foam up when you are mixing it with water?

fixed that for ya.

fattyfatfat - 2010-04-11 7:56 PM

yes.  i did.  among other things. when you actually talk to him in person, not just read st, things come across much differently.  i know you know this and i'm not getting on you. i'm just saying.  he also said the pm's he's getting over there are a lot worse than what you see up on the board.  i wonder how many of those losers who post that crap would have the guts to ask him about it in person?

now that i think about it, i should have told him to come discuss it on BT.  specifically the peleton.  i hear the mod over the is fair and unbiased.  ;-)

ha! 

jvanis - 2010-04-11 7:02 PM Mine only lightly foams, I stir not shake.  

Code 20% off: LTFMN73 ( not sure if its still good, but worth a shot)

Good on ya! I posted in that thread in total support of him. A lot of small people over there.

moxie - 2010-04-11 9:50 PM I leave for the weekend and there are 18 pages to read! Holy crap! lol

Ok, first ever Tri done and I gotta say, I am kind of impressed with myself. I feel like with more training I might actually be able to be good at this stuff. I came in 7/16 in my age group and 189/300 overall.

Honestly, I didn't think I'd even be able to pull this off. I really thought I would blow up on the run and have to walk. Even with a ginormous (WTF is THAT!) kind of hill to climb up for the first .5 of the run, I kept on chugging. That first mile was 11:35 minutes of torture. lol

Anyhow, I feel great! I can't wait to do my next one. My focus is now shifting to running and biking more. I can swim the distance easily, I'm just slow, and until I get a coach or the time to invest in technique, my time would be best spent getting more speed in the bike and run. I was just 8 minutes off of 4th place. 21 minutes off of 1st. I've got some work to do!

kkcbelle - 2010-04-11 10:11 PM Yikes Trina -- please keep an eye on yourself and think about seeing a doc tomorrow if things aren't feeling better. I'd hate to hear that you did something internally. But I gotta say, props to HTFU. Just be careful and listen to your body. Running does tend to hurt a lot more. I took a spill in my driveway on Friday (yes, driveway) and pounded my hip (fine, just a scrape and a bruise). I sure felt it yesterday on my brick run, though. Ouch!! 

OK -- so two people posted on the left Look Keo pedal being tricky to get out of. Anyone else have any comments on that? For my new bike (which is 99% a reality next week... I hope to make a final final final decision TOMORROW [after finding two more bikes to add to my decision-making process today]) I am choosing between Ultegras and Looks (I ordered the Look Keo 2 Max). I bought a set of each hoping to have my fitter help me decide -- if nothing else he can install pedals/cleats much faster than I can so I can at least try them both. ANYWAY --  I am a left-foot-first-out of the pedals person. If I have to rely on right foot first, I will spend a lot of time sucking face with the pavement. So just curious if there are others that have left-out issues???

Thanks!!

(Edited to fix pedals I bought...)
