ALRIGHT!!!!!! Just got back from a great runner, and i set a new 10k PB 51:57. My plan was to just go out for a "nice" run, but then it just started to feel good. I have my water so i figured why the heck not. I would've broke 50 if i didn't take the first 1.5 miles easy. Oh well, i'm happy with it. And oh, the shoes felt great!

Here the splits

heck yeah, looks great! Next time - sub 50

It's not quite working harder exactly, just that being in the tri position (especially mine which is quite steep anyways) is fairly uncomfortable for long periods of time, especially on the trainer.

I would never sell my road bike... it's much more practical and useful for everyday riding / training. I look at my road bike like a swiss army knife, good for lots of situations, and my tri bike like a butter knife... great at what it does, but pretty not that great for things other than what it was designed for (going fast )

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I have only been riding my tri bike because #1 - my knees don't hurt on it and they did on the road bike, #2 I think I have a lot to learn about how to ride the tri bike (obviously like how to handle a cross wind!).

So I went for a ride this morning on the tri bike and the cross wind about killed me. Seriously, I did not feel like I had control of the bike at all (it was extremely windy - like gusts of 30 +). I felt like the bike might blow right out from under me. Also the roads were wet and slick which did not help the situation. I tried to stay aero but honestly felt so unstable I just sat up. The headwind was fine (as fine as 30 mph winds in your face can be) but that cross wind was really awful. I actually wished that I was on my roadie!

Is this normal? Do I need something done with my fit? I was so tense I felt like I was holding on for dear life and could not relax at all. I would not want to race feeling like that on my bike. It took so much energy just to hang on.

That's a great run and happy the shoes are working for you!

holy moly, a 3 hour run!? I thought my 1:30 was going to be terrible... I think I need to HTFU!

Hey everyone,

Haven't been too active on here lately and havent posted any logs., but I am still being active. Picked up a great deal on a mag trainer. $35 for one that was basically brand new! Also was speaking with the seller. He said he the trainer and the road bike after doing a local race with a friend. Thought he would love the biking sport but two training rides in hated it. The bike is a Fuji 52cm road bike that is a few years old. Says less than 100 miles for sure. Also has ultegra components! He is looking for 300 for the bike. Does this sound like a good deal?

Hey all. Had a mixed last week or so due to work commitments but trying to keep some form of schedule in place.

Work load wont get any better next week as on the road from 5am monday until thursday night. Can see quite a few gym based sessions ahead.

On a positive front I am on course with the weight loss, in the last 7 weeks have managed to drop 22 lbs so far and now sit at 213 lbs which is lighter than last year. Month end target is to be at 203, so fingers crossed there and lots of will power. I really want to get below the 200 mark as not been there in 15 years.

feeling good about the eating schedule so far but the nights away are the hardest when it comes to keeping to a low fat diet

Hope your week end is going well
