Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hope all our buddies in America enjoyed their Independence Day and are not now on the way to work with a hangover. I did a 70 K bike yesterday. All hills and I was so tired I had trouble just falling into the pool to cool off. It was very hot up here for us Great White North people (about 90/95F). I was sweating a lot and ended up with a bad rash on both butt cheeks. Sorry John I know how much you like pictures and say "without pics it didn't happen" but I am going to take pity on the group and not show them. I think for this time around you can just trust me. Have a great day all. I am off to my daughter's new place to put in an air conditioner for her. Edited by Redknight 2010-07-05 6:30 AM |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Finally catching up to the group after a few days away. I was out of town helping to build a garage last week, man I used muscles I don't normally use! Good news to report, I got selected from the wait list to participate in the Lifetime Fitness Tri this coming weekend. A quick modification to my training schedule, and I will be set to race! A day off today will involve a course pre-ride and probably a easy run with my wife since the weather was not great yesterday. Happy belated 4th to everyone, hopefully most have today off as well! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Back from our most awesome camping trip on the Hood Canal with 4 other fams/kids. Poor Trip is beyond tired -- he had kids throwing things for him non-stop and he was always up to the challenge. You'd think he's drugged, he's such a lump! (Two injured paw pads from oysters on the beach too -- poor pupper!) I'm feeling very mushy. I ran once while gone, and once before I left. Summer should start here any day now (July 5 is usually the official start date but today it's not cooperating) and I'd love to do some bike rides. Trouble is I have these darned kids around -- arrrrrrgh. Next week they have camp so I can grab a few hours here and there. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend, and hope those pals of us to the north, eh, enjoyed some celebration in our honor. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Back to normal work and reading the site. What a crazy week. Had a great day with just me and the little one on Sunday. I think we wore each other out pretty good. I did a nice fast paced ride last night to get the HR up and try to improve my threshold. It was insanely hot and I knocked out 2 water bottles in about 45 minutes. Tonight is the pool, try out the new jammers. I will say that my pants are getting really big and I have to put a new hole in the belt which is an awesome feeling. Grats to all the racers and I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend. Seemed to fly by. Debating on a race this weekend, they had Jellyfish there a few years ago and I am not a fan, so can't decide if I should sign up or not... |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() TRAINING QUESTION: How long of a run do you do without hydration. I went for a 70min run this weekend and think that might be too far for me (heavy sweater in 100% humidity and 80ish degrees...) What say you MG? |

If it's over 30 minutes in the hot summer I bring a small thing of water with me just in case. 70 mins for sure I would have water or a route where I can drink from a fountain. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ashort33 - 2010-07-06 9:10 AM TRAINING QUESTION: How long of a run do you do without hydration. I went for a 70min run this weekend and think that might be too far for me (heavy sweater in 100% humidity and 80ish degrees...) What say you MG? In cool weather, I'll go up to :90 w/o water. But in heat? I'll take something for even 20 minutes!! When I go running in Hawaii I definitely carry water even on shorter runs. I'd positively DIE in 80 degrees with lots of humidity for :70 w/o water, and I'm NOT a heavy sweater!! |
