Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Jeepguy2358 - 2009-07-23 7:50 PM For the record, I officially hate yellow jackets. Got stung four times. Granted, I really didn't like the stinging part, but the location is what's getting me - on my left arm just below the elbow - or to put it words triathlete's would understand - right where I rest my arms on my aerobars. Well, I guess I was due for a couple recovery days anyway. - I don't like this whole "not training" thing, but my body definitely needs it. Hope everyone has a good weekend. ![]() ouch! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I stopped listening to music while running early this year. Honestly, it's one of the better decisions I've made to improve my running. I feel that I can *listen* to my body better and have a better sense for whats happening around me. No problems fixing an earpiece that isn't setting on my ear well or cords bouncing around or rubbing on me wrong. At least try to take a break from music while running for a month. see if you improve overall as a runner. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Good morning group! I hope everyone has a nice weekend. I'm looking forward to my race on Sunday and I have re-thought my goals since I didn't quite put in the quality workouts that I needed in July. I'm going to have fun and try to better last year's time. This race was my first tri 2 years ago so it holds a special place in my heart. First year - 1:35 / Second year - 1:15 / This year 1:12-1:13. |

I think running w/ music is fine. I don't use it at the track b/c it can be distracting and I want to be aware of the pain I'm in. LOL But there are times when I love the peace and quiet of the cool mornings to run in silence. So I don't see the harm on long, easy runs. I am against using headphones in a race. It is annoying to come up on people who aren't aware of their surrounding in a race b/c they can't hear. |

Tony I have a brand new music thingy and won't every be using it. You put your IPOD shuffle in it and it is totally waterproof. It is the Natalie Coughlin one that you see on Active.com. Do you want it? Suzy |

At least try to take a break from music while running for a month. see if you improve overall as a runner. I actually agree with this. I never used to listen to music and then once I got asthma, my doctor actually recommended it as a way to avoid listening to my wheezing when running really hard. My IPOD is like my crack pipe. Having gone without it for about a week, I am back to my old self, however I haven't exerted myself the same way I do in a race yet. That is why I am questioning it for tomorrow. I really hate hearing the sound of me breathing when I almost can't ![]() |

What exactly bugs you about it? No one I know gets out of the way of someone else in a race regardless of whether or not they are wearing earphones so what's the beef? |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well I found out how far I can run sockless before my shoes rub. Seems to be right around 3 miles. Went out for a 5 mile run today and since I previously ran 2 miles sockless I figured that I would be ok. Shoes started rubbing badly around mile 3 so I ended up walking the last 2 miles bareoot back home.. Guess it's going to be socks again this weekend. As for running with music during a race I don't like it because it's normally against the rules, dunno just seems rude to tune everyone else out. LOL, I have no idea why I think that way, just do, maybe it's because I am chatty when I race. EDIT: I also think it's crazy to ride with music on but all the roadies I know pretty much always ride that way. To each his own I suppose for both riding and racing with music.

Tony, that reminds me of this woman during the race Sunday, I was headed out at about my 4 mile point, so she was prob at the 9 mile point returning, holding her running shoes and running in socks. At a decent pace, I might add! I happened to glance up and she was smiling...she said "Just keeping it Real" and I smiled and encouraged her with a "Hardcore!!!" Nice JOB! ![]() Btw, I love riding w/ my Ipod, but I only leave the right earbud in so I can hear cars/other riders coming up on the left. Ok, Suzy, maybe I'll try no Ipod for awhile and see if it toughens me up. I'm so curious to see what my ranking was for the AG in each discipline. I'm still shocked! You'd think for a race that big, they'd be able to do it easily and right away! Have a great weekend everyone. Edited by kt65 2009-07-24 1:18 PM |

As far as the music - ditto w/ Tony about the against the rules and rudeness factor plus if you did have to get someone's attention it would be hard. I have gone past people w/ ipods and they are just oblivious to the world. Plus I've had people wander in my line just b/c they don't realize there is another runner behind them. Now bikers and people running on the trail really get me. If I run w/ music, I keep it low or use one ear piece so I can hear other people. I had one dude enter a trail the other day and totally cut me off. We were both on bikes. He never looked to see if it was clear nor could he hear me coming or hear me yelling at him when he almost took me out. I think it just comes down to common sense and not being rude which many people but not all lack. |

I have a busy weekend with the race and the Opera in the Park tomorrow night and then a big bike and dinner with my birth mom and her husband on Sunday. Make it a good one. Suzy |

Suzy I'm going to give it a go.. I'm definitely swimming and biking and giving the run a go. My leg feels pretty good. I'm just nervous about the run because I haven't run in over a week. Also i just picked-up all my race stuff and went through the mandatory orientation so my mind says "now I have to race." Tomorrow there are tours and a mandatory bike drop. Many people are setting-up their transition the night before the race (sat) and going to the swim directly on race day (since the swim start is around a mile away from the transition). I'm not sure how they get comfortable leaving their stuff overnight considering nature, it may rain the night before. Edited by trying1 2009-07-24 2:09 PM |

I have a busy weekend with the race and the Opera in the Park tomorrow night and then a big bike and dinner with my birth mom and her husband on Sunday. Make it a good one. Suzy I'm going to give it a go.. I'm definitely swimming and biking and giving the run a go. My leg feels pretty good. I'm just nervous about the run because I haven't run in over a week. Also i just picked-up all my race stuff and went through the mandatory orientation so my mind says "now I have to race." Tomorrow there are tours and a mandatory bike drop. Many people are setting-up their transition the night before the race (sat) and going to the swim directly on race day (since the swim start is around a mile away from the transition). I'm not sure how they get comfortable leaving their stuff overnight considering nature, it may rain the night before. The swim is a MILE away? Do you have to run that whole way or is the swim a point to point? For your sake, I hope so. Good luck and have fun. Karen, knock'em dead. You are ready. You have practiced in that wetsuit so zip it up and stay tough!!!! |
