Newtons1st - 2010-10-08 10:50 AM Well back to a normal "Todd" type situations. I think I have a small case of frost bite on my leg. So I iced my calf the Tuesday like I usually do after a run. Well the freezer was set to its coldest level earlier since I was working on it. Had to replace a fan and motor in the back. So the usual reusable pack was colder than normal. I got comfy and almost dozed off with my calf resting on it. About 25 minutes. When I got done my skin was weird looking and felt strange. It was hard in some spots. ie frozen. So after it warmed up I had what felt like a burn. So now I had a small bit of frost bite.

bzgl40 - 2010-10-18 9:10 AM Wow, no pressure or anything.    Give me time to get a few coffee's in and I'll get the race report out, results are finally posted.  I'm off today so I'll just be holding down the couch for the most part.

Calling Mrs. Betsy VonDolen - You cannot get 4th in your AG and leave us hanging!!!!

Emmanem - 2010-10-18 11:55 AM Anderson which is 20 minutes from Clemson just got a new Olympic and HIM for next year.  James and I are looking at doing our masters work here so it would be a perfect race for me.  We've both got our sights set on a half marathon in April given that my running continues to be shin splint pain free so the only question now is should I do the HIM or the Olympic?? They are both in October.  Any suggestions/recommendations?

bzgl40 - 2010-10-18 3:08 PM

IMO there is a huge difference between an Olympic and a HIM, especially with the run.  As of right now you have time to train for either, but it's all on if you can get comfortable on the bike for the long rides and get those long runs in injury free.  I'd say wait until April and see how your half marathon goes then decide.  Train like you might do the HIM, get the swim, bike, and runs in and if it is going well and your enjoying the running and the biking and you think you have the time to commit to an HIM then by all means go for it.  But, an Olympic is no cake walk and still requires a fair amount of training to do well and not make it a suffer fest.  I'd go HIM cause I really like the training for an HIM.  So it's all down to what kind of time/volume your comfortable putting in.

I wouldn't want that bike.  It's way to flashy and everyone would see me and realize just how slow I really am.  Give me one that blends in please. 

golfpro - 2010-10-20 12:33 PM

I get you the one that blends! probably neon green or yellow

Kenott - 2010-10-22 12:20 PM

It comes in camo...your in luck!  Lot's of grass where you live to blend with right?  Not flashy at all...just a flash.

OBTW I got all the lotto numbers!!! - just not on the same line. $0
