I figured I'd get that from someone.  Tell me about the violin music when your down here for Lonestar.  It will be pea soup or wind.  Happy Days!!!

Repeat after me: It will NOT be a windy day.It will NOT be a windy day.It will NOT be a windy day.

SSMinnow - 2010-03-09 9:24 AM Hey Doug:  What are you doing post run to aid recovery?  When I was marathon training, I would always do an ice bath after the effort for about 10 mins.  I would throw in some Epsom Salts/Baking Soda to reduce inflammation further.  Since I started tri training, a recovery drink is consumed in the first 10 minutes after finishing a long workout...mine is choc milk, but there are lots of options.  I usually eat a decent meal after the bath too.....just throwing out some ideas to help.

PS one other thought, is it possible you are doing these long runs at too hard of an intensity?  Typically, my head was fried after my long runs, but the body was pretty in tact, especially after a good nights sleep.

Mett - 2010-03-09 10:02 AM Any recommendations on gear to get for my new bike? I have bought a patch kit, multi tool, seat bag, headlight and tail light, cateye computer, c02 refill, helmet and I just cant think of anything else.

John, what is up with swirling wind? It seems to be the story of my life. I have several routes that are like that -- I get the major headwinds and can't wait to go the other direction. Coming back, yup, major headwinds. I know it's good for me but it's bad for my psyche on longer rides!!

Suzy, do you (or others) have suggestions for how to re-fuel when your stomach feels like crap? That is often the case for me after excessively long or hard efforts. I try to get in the initial re-fuel no matter what (I've been doing chocolate milk but might experiment more), but then I often feel full or sort-of sick or just not hungry in the least and it's several hours before I crave any real food. I know it's really important to get that nutrition in but oftentimes it's the last thing I want to do. I try mild foods but really I need something substantial after subsisting on sugary mixes and chewies for hours on end...

This is pretty funny, but more than anything this guy is STRONG!

Mett - 2010-03-09 11:36 AM I am on the sprint distance right now. I will get a mini pump and a spare tube. Any suggestions on clip on aero bars?

Thanks Suzy and Tony. Tony -- usually a smoothie is my go-to post-workout meal, so perhaps I'm on to something there. I think yesterday I didn't want one because it was pretty cold outside and it did not sound good! In fact, I almost turned my chocolate milk into hot chocolate!

I've been good about getting SOMETHING in right away, and I probably do get more nutrition within an hour, whether I want it or not. When I said sugary stuff, I meant the Infinit or Carbo Pro drinks. I'm doing almost only Infinit on long rides. Haven't done long runs in awhile but was doing shot bloks and/or Infinit or Carbo Pro for those. Not as crazy about doing liquid nutrition for longer runs as I don't plan to carry it for IM, so want to stick to things I'll be doing race-day.

For longer runs (i.e. marathon training), did you find that when you took in MORE calories when you were running that you didn't feel as ick tummy-wise after?

I have been using a little bit of protein in my Infinit mixture for awhile, and my coach suggested bumping it up a bit. I tried some yesterday -- one bottle of the old and one bottle of the new (I think the difference is only 2-3g of protein over 20 oz.). No real comments, hard to know anything from one ride/run.

Kayla-  I don't remember the question but here are some tidbits I'd like to share.  

I have used Infinit for the last three years on the bike.  Love the stuff.  No problems up to the half distance however for my IM about half way through the bike I tried a Uncrustable PBJ just because I knew I needed SOMETHING solid for the long day and I wanted to spread it out.  I didn't like it but I ate it anyway.  LOVED them in training.  Just one of those things that race day throws at you.  Have a plan ABC.  Like you, I didn't run with my own mix for the run and alternated the water stations and took Water at one and Gatorade at another with Gu every once in a while and endurolytes every 45 min or so (pending heat factor), no food on the run for anything up to a half however on the IM your tired of gu so I did a lot of oranges.  Tried the pretzels and that sucked.  Chicken soup is suppose to be awesome but I didn't care for it and the generic deflated coke didn't work for me either but I think it's a individual thing and if I was out there again I would try it again.  You never know what will work on a given race day.  IMPORTANT:  Just know if you ever think about starting the coke during a race you need to plan on keeping it up.  Don't take it till you NEED it.

FYI...I believe Lonestar offers Orange Gatorade on the bike course.  Don't remember the run drink probably thinking about a beer by then.

Post workout:  Chocolate Milk, Smoothie,  OR PBJ (my favorite), Ham and Cheese rolled up accompanied by a piece of fruit.

Well that's it for now.

 

 

TrevorC - 2010-03-09 11:33 AM Sorry rephrase........What type of rear systems do you guys have? Xlab,etc? What type?

John- you just have an aero bottle and 1 bottle on the frame? Thats it?
