Master  1732     Delafield, Wisconsin |  Subject: RE: Crummy Weather Challenge Week 4 (Dec 3-9)Well, as I ramp back up from injury, the totals are not that impressive, but with our little cold snap I managed to get in a couple crappy runs. (oh and the weather wasn't too good either) Tues. run 31.10 min X 5 (3 degrees) = 157.5 Thurs. run 21.39 min. x 5 (12 degrees) + 2 (18mph wind) = 149.73 Weekly total: 307.23 |

| Alaska | Subject: RE: Crummy Weather Challenge Week 4 (Dec 3-9) The fuel belt "bottles" are probably too small to avoid freezing but if you use an endurance drink/powder it usually will not freeze (at least in the regular water bottles). Actually you may still have a frozen spot at the spout but if you can open the container then you should be fine. I use the fanny pak camelbak, again the reservoir doenst freeze but the tube does, you can use the insulated tube but you still have to kind of blow the water back in to avoid freezing. Just another one of those cold weather adaptations! Looks like we have been getting your warmer weather, it has been in the 30's all week! I have been walking trying to take it easy on a bruised (I think he said tibia) bone just below my knee and bruised ribs. He had a fancy name for my injuries but all I heard is your bruised not broke and let pain be your guide. Anyway, after taking it easy most the week, I am going to run tomorrow in this balmy 30 degree weather. Wont rack up the points this week but it will be nice and warm for my run. Congrats on the crappy weather workouts! Oh forgot to mention and you may have already though of this, I dont believe vodka will freeze in your fuel belt! Edited by AKtri 2006-12-08 1:16 PM |

I'm tellin' ya, put some old socks on the bottles. I will test it out next week if I can move post Vegas (and the weather stays craptastic!!)Oh forgot to mention and you may have already though of this, I dont believe vodka will freeze in your fuel belt!

molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: Crummy Weather Challenge Week 4 (Dec 3-9) finally, some point for me this week, barely. 34 w/ 5mph winds. hardly felt crummy, but i'll take what points i can get. am doing a long ride today, but its already 39 out. 9 mph winds, and i'll get the bike point, but getting points on nice days seems like cheating to me. 67 x 1.5 = 100.5 |

Just one crappy weather workout before the knee went to sh*T... One hour with honkin' wind (60 x4 = 240 plus 60 minutes + 30 points for 30 degree temp) = 270 for the week
