Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan 2013 (Page 18)

. I do have an Adamo seat and it does help just not in the cease part.

After skipping over the girllie parts, I'm back in for the swim/bike/run parts.

Did you say you've tried body glide and still have chaffing in the crease.  There is a product called bag balm that does wonderful things for irritated skin.  I've gotten off the bike, cursing, applied the balm and been happilly back on the bike the next day.  You might try putting on some of the bag balm after the ' what ever ' and before the ride.

Triathletes on BT can talk about anything.

Way to go on that weight loss Billy!

I have to brag as I had an awesome bike ride yesterday.  I try to ride with this group every Thursday and it is suppose to be a nice relaxing ride but they always seem to smoke me everytime, (in my opinion it is not a relaxing ride as I am pushing it the entire time).  Granted I got smoked again but my pace had increased!  Now if I can keep increasing my pace I will be good.

 I ride my road bike with this group as there is a downhill section that scares the daylights out of me and I don't trust myself on my tri bike with it just yet.

I still prefer to ride my roadie when I'm riding with a group.  I have greater steering control, faster reaction time on the breaks, and have better visability.  All contribute to a safer experience for self and others.

Happy Friday, any one standing on the startline this weekend

I agree with Bryan 100% on the group rides, either I pull or I bring up the rear, can't draft in a race and I feel like I am cheating myself if I draft on rides. 

I am doing the Oak Barrel Half Mary with my daughter and son n law in Tenn. tomorrow.

Billy,

Good luck tomorrow and have fun!

Race Report?  What's that?  LOL

I'm sure Billy had a great race...can't wait to hear about it!  

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter to All!!!

Sorry its been a while. Life has been busy.

Bryan I ran a 10 miler last month and a 15K last week!!! Race reports??? Hmmmm...ok The 15 K last week was a hilly run called the Boston Marathon Tune Up Run. It was great fun. I ran the first 7 miles with a guy who was 75 and has been to Kona 4 times. Last year in his qualifier he was DQ'd because he got a drafting penalty and didnt hear the race official...I think he is slightly hard of hearing.He runs with great form...he was amazing!

Hope both Billy and Gary had great races!!!!

I have reading to catch up on!!!!

The race was at 4 pm and it was brutal as it was hot and very hilly. Very disappointed in myself as I had to walk some and lost 3rd place by 10 seconds. I have no one to blame but me.

Happy Easter everyone!

Congrats on the finish lines over the Easter weekend.  I took it easy this week and will next week as well before I start "official" training for IMAZ.  It was nice to not really have any plans but to just go out and do what I felt like doing.

BTW, I have updated my blog (www.mytrainingadventures.blogspot.com) with the last 3 races I've done.

My masters swim group, lane leader has a new Garmin 910.  Oh e oh e oh. thats the state of the art  GPS watch that counts laps.  Can you see where this is going.  The leaders pulled up 50 short in this mornings 400TT.  Arrrrrrrrrr.  Coach was not happy with us.  Lets make that a 2x400TT.  ohhhhhhh.   That was so much fun, lets do it again. Not.  Make me wonder just how fast do I need to swim to lead this lane.  1:30 per hundski?  Thats a good goal to have.

Let's go running.  6x happy hill repeats for lunch. woot woot.

32 mile group ride tonight.

Hope everyone had a good weekend! I did my third and final indoor tri of the series, and while my swim didn't improve, I did better on both the bike and the run, so I'm happy about that.

On the downside though, my doctor confirmed I do have PF,  so I'm going to a podiatrist Thursday.  I'm hoping that will help, but pain kind of comes and goes, but it's enough to make me reconsider doing the 5k this weekend. My primary doc wants me to stay off of roads/sidewalks when running and I don't want to cause any more issues.

I've been having some sciatic pain for the last month or so and it seems likely that it's caused by piriformis syndrome since if I do trigger point exercises that seems to help it. Both of those are issues on my left side, so I'm thinking they are in some way related but we'll see.

Have any of your dealt with that?

I am back.  Great race this weekend.  Daughters first HM and I got to do it with her,  great day!

Race report is in race reports under Oak Barrel Half Marathon.

Oh this made me laugh after my turtle swim today

At the Doc today.  Achilles tendonitis.  Two words I had hoped to never hear addressed to me.  Bummer.  Only three weeks to my first maraton, and no running.  He didn't rule out the marathon though, so I still have hope.  Cross training here I come. 

Anyone have any experience dealing with AT?
