John, the computer is hooked up to the CT and shows the ride while you are riding.  It also saves to look at later, but all the info is on the screen, with the course and elevation, etc., current speed, av. spd, distance traveled, current watts, av. watts, hr, rpms it's all there, I LOVE IT, (when I don't have my skewer end stuck in the darn thing).

SSMinnow - 2010-03-31 7:08 PM Great month for you!  I have this rule that once I start a CT file I don't want to stop it so I have yet to get off in a 3 hour ride. Not sure I can do that for 4 hours....I wish there was a way to pause the CT file so you could do your stuff, come back and start where you left off.....Grrrrr.

gdale - 2010-04-01 6:19 AM Here are my march numbers...

Bike:	10h 00m  - 174.6 Mi
Run:	13h 40m 07s  - 100.51 Mi
Swim:	8h 40m 52s  - 28950 Yd

First every 100 mile running month for me.  Also my biggest swimming month ever!

Tomorrow I am going to pick up my new bike, just in time for the warmer weather to hit NY.  That should help my bike miles!

Happy Friday everyone (for those of you that have tomorrow off!).
George

SSMinnow - 2010-04-01 7:47 AM After thinking long and hard about it, I have decided I am not coming to Lonestar after all.  I am even thinking of quitting triathlon all together.............

Jeepguy2358 - 2010-04-01 8:06 AM Man, you guys are all pulling some serious numbers.  I am so envious.  I suffered through the cold weather running outside, now is the time I should get to enjoy myself, but I guess sometimes that's the way the ball bounces. 

I tested my knee yesterday and it was pretty much what I expected.  Maybe just a little below my expectations.  I started out on the stationary bike for 15 min - felt great.  Changed the the elliptical for 15 min- felt a little discomfort in the beginning, but went away as it loosened up.  Finally the treadmill - started out with a slow walk and everything was great, picked it up to a brisk walk, still felt good, then came the jog.  A little pain with every step.  I guess the good thing was that it wasn't a "drop me to my knees pain" like it was before.  After feeling this for about 3 min, I switched to my ST workout.  Then, came back and tried it again.  Same thing.  Oh well.  After I finished, I did not have any swelling and it actually felt fine.  I am really thinking I am going to be okay with a little more rest.  I think I might go ahead with the training (going to try an hour on the trainer tonight) and incorporate aqua jogging into my workouts as run training until I can get back.  

MRI is still a go.  Hopefully one day next week.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.  Keep up the good work. 

SSMinnow - 2010-03-31 7:01 PM Kim--if you hit F1 and pause the ride, doesn't the "save the file" come up and then start it over without saving the file?

kt65 - 2010-04-01 6:07 AM

Not when I'm riding a course.  The only time "Save the file" option comes up is when I hit the yellow "Reset" button.  Then I hit F1 for yes to save the performance. 

But when riding those MRC files, I cannot pause the ride. 

btw, we used a needle nose plier to pop that little endpiece out.  thanks guys.

  Happy 2nd Anniversary of engagement to me and Roy. :-) It's a pretty funny story how it unfolded. Took me a LONG while to convince my friends and family that I was engaged.


  I got an email from my coach yesterday, and it's been a while since I was sort of "criticized" at.  I emailed her and asked her to change my schedule because I had a really tough time putting in the long runs on the weekend and I kept switching over my long bike with the BLV (bike club in LV) folks or ride more than I should. I've missed more work outs in March than Feb. I kind of blame the damn cold, so I missed a couple...I do feel really bad about those.

    She pretty much told me to just do it, and if she changed the schedule it will affect the rest of the week. That was the whole point of hiring a coach, to tell me what to do and when to do it.

   So yeah....the volume and intensity is going up this month! :-)

  I needed that, especially since I'm starting to feel like I'm a slacker.

Anyone else got coach stories like this? Roy was telling me that his track coach was really hard on him and his teammates.  I don't think my coach is that hard on me, she's just concerned about my goals and reminded me why I hired her in the first place.

Happy April Fool's Everyone!!

LOL... funny thing is I could have truthfully posted this right now. Not really thinking of QUITTING triathlon, but I am thinking I'll take a break from thinking about it for awhile. I'm going to do what I can when I can and whatever feels right for the foot. No more stressing about upcoming races or feeling pressured to get training in that I probably shouldn't be doing anyway. If my foot heals in time, I'll ramp things up carefully and give IMCDA a go, otherwise I'm letting it go.

I'll miss you all at Lonestar, but can't say I'm too disappointed to be taking my dream vacation to Maui that week. Just finalized all of our reservations!!! Hope everyone has an awesome time! (oh yeah, and this is not an April fools joke)

SSMinnow - 2010-04-01 10:55 AM

Where are you staying in Maui?  It is one of my favorite places.  If you are interested, I can email you my "best things to do in Maui" doc....which includes a trip to Mama's fish house, the best on the Island.

cadmus - 2010-04-01 10:01 AM So I got punked by Weather Bug this morning.  Got up, checked the weather on my phone: 41*, partly cloudy - sounds pleasant.  Get dressed, lights, reflective vest, shoes on and open the door to pouring rain.  Stupid April Fools day. 

Trevor, Bloomsday if a fun little (50k particpants) 12k road race.  It may not happen this year as we're currently debating a trip to a warmer climate as an alternative.

RoniS - 2010-04-01 1:22 PM Am I missing anything?

cadmus - 2010-04-01 2:58 PM Roni  - our snorkelling trip to Molokai got cancelled due to excessive winds, but they didn't make the decision until after we were loaded up and most of the way there.  They opened the bar when we turned around and it was a 7:00 am Bloody Mary cruise - and we got a refund.

We ended up renting snorkel gear and driving out to this place right before the lava fields on the south end of the island - past Kihei and saw a ton of great fish and turtles.  Ask the locals, they can recommend the good places to go.

Old Lahaina Luau was awesome - that is a must see.

Biking on Haleakela (sp??) looked fun too, but they wouldn't let my wife go because she was preggers.  So we did the heli-tour instead.  Cool, but I don't think I'd pay for it again.

Have fun.
