comet the dog - 2006-12-24 10:51 PM i dont know. i would hate losing to much of my dementedness for fear of being thought of as normal

Lukily, I have never been thought of as normal!

Performance Bike has the Polar S150 for $79.99 (was $139.99).

Also, I know it's quite a bit more than $100 but I saw the Garmin 301 on walmart.com for $154.88:

Otherwise, I would say always check the classifieds forum and you never know what will turn up.  I actually got a used Polar S120 for FREE!!!  So, you'll never know what you'll find.  Good luck

HRM and Zones:

I imported a training plan and it tells me how many minutes I should S/B/R for.  At what zone/effort should these minutes be? I just got an HRM and want to introduce it into my training.

Thanks.

For someone starting out, they should be in Z1-Z2.  You should feel like you're working but you should be able to carry on a conversation. Don't worry about higher intensity. That will come later. For now you have to build a solid base.

Don't worry if it feels too easy. Lots of people feel that way in Zone 1 or 2 at first.

I wouldn't say you're better off but you may be just as well off. When you're starting out there are generally huge gains to be made by simply putting in the time.

comet the dog - 2006-12-30 5:22 PM biked and ran today have some pain in right knee now. nothing to bad first time i did both back to back, took it easy on both but still may have took it to far too soon hope not on a good note. after talking with wife about tris she agrees that if and WHEN i get to OLYIMPIC level i should have a real bike. im already lookin'

I know what you mean about training..I received 3 separate messages today warning to not over train..I heeded advice and took an off day.

When you say you're already lookin...is that at a bike..or at an OLY distance so you can get the bike?? 

To the DeMented ones and our Mentor Marma:

I wish you all the happiest of New Year's and hope that all your goals and dreams are realized.  May you also achieve your tri goals for the year!

Beli-CHICK is a vindictive cry baby and holds grudges longer than anybody.  He's pissed that Mangini, formerly his defensive coordinator, took the Jets head coaching job.  Beli-CHICK's problem is 2 pronged...1st the fact that Mangini left and 2nd he went to the hated Jets...a organization that Beli-CHICK torched when he left.....yea yea yea I know he's won however many Supes...

1st Timer in NY - 2007-01-02 8:56 PM Is switching groups because my mentor roots for the hated and loathed New England Pats a valid reason??  How about a bet Mr. Marma??  Put your training where your mouth is....say something like 100x100, or post picture wearing other teams T-shirt that must be bought) (after your Mary of course).  And don't forget about the 16 point spread.....

Since you are now the self-annoited Avatar King...maybe we'll make an avatar bet??  I haven't heard from you yet....are you worried about the fact that Brady is the only QB in the league who can't throw the ball further than Pennington??
