Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 214)

For that price I would have bought them.  If you didn't like them you would have gotten your money back on Craig's list.  That being said, I would only buy them if you committed to going with clipless pedals.  You of course use them without (I assume they are mountain bike shoes and not road shoes) but you wouldn't do that in a tri cause you wouldn't run in them.  If they are road shoes I wouldn't use them at all without clipless pedals. 

I have no real goals.  I find they get in my way.  Just kidding.  I want to increase my run volume/week and keep it up there.  I really want 30+ miles but since I am slow and that is a lot of time I'll be happy with 20+.  That will make me less slow over time and maybe that 30+ will be achievable by the end of the season.  I also want to stop slacking on the bike.  I love biking but this time of year I only have lunch hour and it makes it harder (stop all this trainer talk). 

Race wise I won't be doing many.  It is kind of a hassle for me and I really do like the training more then the racing.  If some running races come around I might do them, up to HIM's but they will be random and will just show up on my schedule.  I did a few 5k's this winter and even placed in one of them but I like the longer races.  My first HIM is in April and if my schedule allows it I will add another HIM late, and maybe an EXTERRA.  I'll probably skip the local series as they are all pool swims and $$$$.  Although I've heard a rumour that they canceled the sprint I did last year and are changing it to an HIM.  If so I'll do that race.

Wow, I am talkie before my coffee.

Your races are the most entertaining.  Well, the ones you write on the calendar on the proper day and make.  But the excitement of waiting to see if it will be a blizzard, if the ice will melt off the water, etc etc keeps me going over here in the 100 degree temps.
