Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 173)

loeber - 2010-06-18 10:03 AM I have a Try-a-Tri on Sunday in one of the most picturesque towns in Canada before heading to Banff for a Father's day Brunch with the whole family. It is more of a reson to get the family out of the city for the weekend than anything but I am looking forward to is because I missed the last race I was signed up for.

Pool swim (cuz the lake still has ICE around the shore). nice...

I KENOTT swim - 2010-06-18 8:58 AMEveryone besides EvD and fish: (no one is catching you)

Does the person in the next lane in the pool change pace when you start catching them?  On the very rare occasion I start or turn at the same time the person in the next lane generally speeds up when I catch them.  I only breathe on one side now so I am only getting one lane of view - does this happen to everyone? I have been much more concerned with distance than speed so far but I have on occasion pushed the tempo a bit on the last 25-50 to try to keep up or pass the next lane over.

I guess if people are racing to push blood out (Kim) they will race any time they have the chance.

Betsy0706 - 2010-06-18 11:03 AM Doesn't happen to me but at our normal pool I am either next to EvD or another fish I know (Deb).

To answer the breakfast question - it's the same as JC.  

Trin2bfast - 2010-06-18 12:23 PM Deb can run like the wind, and she can swim like a fish... next your gonna tell me she is an uber biker!  damn Ironwoman! HA!

bzgl40 - 2010-06-18 8:10 AM Who besides Kevin is racing this weekend?  Yeah, that's right.  The guy is fresh back from a HIM and is racing again.  That stud.

bzgl40 - 2010-06-19 4:59 PM ugh, my bike arrived at it's destination with a huge hole in the side of the box.  Unsure if it is damaged yet.  Being brought to the mechanic for a tune up and overhaul

Emmanem - 2010-06-19 11:55 PM I cooked dinner tonight. Not from my new cookbook but a recipe from a family friend, stuffed pasta shells.  I managed to burn my fingers but it was extremely good if I do say so myself. Anyway....

I'm looking at getting a hydration/fuel belt.  I am extremely heat sensitive and get dehydrated and overheated really easily.  My parents are constantly asking me how much water I've drank on days when it's really hot out and we're spending a good bit of time outdoors.    For this reason, running is a little intimidating to me in this summer heat.  I really want to be able to be outdoors and run but I'm a little worried about overheating/dehydrating.  I've tried carrying a bottle (holding it in my hand) and it was just a hassle.  Anyone have one or know of a good brand?  I don't need some fancy 8 bottle thing just something that will allow me to stay hydrated while i go for a run.

Also does anyone have a Road ID?  I was looking at getting one. Ever since I drove by a guy who got hit by a car one day going to school, I kinda felt like maybe I should look into getting one.  I don't carry an id with me when I run or bike so i was thinking it would be a good idea to get one just in case something were to happen. 

Thoughts or suggestions?? 

bzgl40 - 2010-06-20 8:50 AM I'm with Keri regarding water.  I hate carrying anything and I have tried many around the waist ones and hate them all.  Some people are ok with things around their waist but I appear to not be one of them.  Which would explain why I still wear by shorts that have stopped fitting long ago and someday will fall down on me while out in public.  I also use a Camelbak for running.  Mine is made specifically for biking but it has been working really well for running.  I actually don't get bothered by it so much that I toyed with wearing it during the HIM.  Doubt I will though.

Update on the bike.  The mechanic thinks it's ok.  I actually still haven't heard from him but the holes were on both sides and where the wheels were but I do know that both wheels ran tru when he tested them.  There goes my reason to buy Zipps.    He did glance at the rest of it but not indepth yet and all appears well.
