Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Kyla! I did not realize you were so tall! And dang, girl, you been lifting? ![]() and yes, i did hand my belt off to my cousins who came to cheer for my cousin Mark and I. They almost missed me, but I saw them first (they were wearing matching SF 49er clothing) on top of their parkas..did I mention it was 30F and windy!!! I basically ripped the stupid thing off my waist and threw it at their feet! Apologized later at the pancake house ![]() |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() holy cow a lot of posts since I last looked today. First day back in the pool after over a month, did not have my watch with, but did a total of 1500 yards, I was not as winded as I expected to be, my arms fatigued, but again not as bad as expected. I just did 3 sets of 400 yards and was pretty happy. The best part, no pain in my wrist, only a little unsteady feeling as the strength is still lacking. Hopefully over the next 3 weeks I can hit the pool no less than 3 times a week to build back as much as possible. My flip turns were stellar today, probably the best they have ever been. Bike ride tonight... I looked at it, told my wife it was going to suck, and then did it, yep I was right. Main set was 30 seconds on 115-120% 30 seconds off at 65-70%.. 20 sets worth. My recovery sections were probably on the lower range, more to the tune of 55-60 probably. Man oh man do my legs burn. I ended up splitting the main set up and did 10 then a 5 minute 65% recovery section to make me not want to vomit, then the other 10. 9 and 10 made my stomach get very uneasy, but I hit the high side of the wattage for almost every one. The best news. After some more tweaking, I had my first ride without things going numb. A friggin men. A bit more work on the seat tilt and I am good to go. For the longest time I was afraid the bike was not a good fit or something. Hope to get in in the next few weeks for a fit now that I have it close. |

![]() kkcbelle - 2010-04-07 6:35 PM kt65 - 2010-04-07 4:47 PM that is hilarious. i ditched my fuel belt (fanny pack) at the 20 mile point of my marathon just so that my finish line photo would show me "fanny pack-less" lol, slacks, that is funay! if you check out my album, definitely a cool look sans fuel belt ![]() wow, i've never patched a tube...what's going on with the roads up there in Washington...why so many flats? i guess "Ah-nold" is putting our tax dollars to work by smoothing out our road ways...that's why CA has a huge deficit. John, you will have to go to all Giants/Astro's series openers from now on! We're in First place! ![]() Did you give your fuel belt to someone? That is funny! I never have athletic supporters (jock straps) at my races and I'm too cheap to ditch one permanently. What will I do for my IM?!?!! Oh dear. This will require some planning and thinking. I know on the flats... Bad luck, really!! At least with the "cluster" flats I found the cause -- it just took me 2+ flats to look harder. Before those 6, I only had about two in the last year or so. Hey, I'd rather have clean/smooth roads than great schools!! Oh wait... maybe not. (Not that our schools are rolling in dough, of course.) So hubs and I just booked our kid-free August Hawaii vaca. WOOT! To celebrate, I'm making kalua pork for dinner tonight, with an asian slaw on the side. Dinner's gonna rock. Anyway, we leave for Hawaii on 8/18, and Lake Stevens 70.3 is 8/15. I'm kinda tempted to enter it... Then enjoy a nice break in Hawaii where I'll spend 2-3 hours/day 40+ feet below the surface blowing bubbles with the fishies... Thanks, Fats, for posting my pics. ![]() Congrats on booking your trip! Am far as the IM and gear goes remember you have the special needs bags (around the 1/2 way point on the bike and run). You can pick stuff up and drop stoff off there. We got our bags back after IMFL. |

I basically ripped the stupid thing off my waist and threw it at their feet! Apologized later at the pancake house ![]() Due to one FB picture where everyone (but me) is standing on a curb, people think I am vertically challenged. I am 5'6". Well, a LBS recently told me I was 5'5", but that was after a long run so I'm claiming spinal compression. My driver's license says 5'6". And the arms are merely from spending more time in the pool. I kinda like it!! Clearly I will need to come up with a strategy for ditching fuel belts. and... CONGRATULATIONS STEVE!!!!!! That is just beyond exciting!! Parenthood is definitely an e-ticket ride... And I love the u/s picture!! |

Cuz I'm wearing my fanny pack. Which is really like a race belt, if that matters. (Is a water belt a fanny pack too? Cuz I wear one of those...) Wondering if it's a question of definitions, cuz I'm feeling some fightin' words comin' on... A water belt that only has 1 big massive water bottle is not cool. Your trying to hard. If its a fuel belt,amphib thinger, nathan etc you are ok. Not: ![]() With a bottle that big you could use it as extra floatation when swimming and then fill it for your run at transition and fuel belt is not a fanny pack. I use a fuel belt with 4 bottles in it and a small pocket for energy stuuf. I also have a couple of small pockets on the side of my tri shorts (at the bottom of the legs) where I can stuff a couple of gel packs. Edited by Redknight 2010-04-08 7:45 AM |

But due in August, geez man, couldn't you and Kim have been a little more considerate? How are you suppose to travel to IMCA with me and register for a race when you are going to be changing diapers for the first time? - TOTALLY KIDDING! I am so happy for both of you. Maybe I'll get to be the first one to see the baby bird. And I'll drag Ryan up to CA with me ![]() My name vote is Jay (Jay Birds somehow goes together I think) |
