Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Asalzwed Soooo, I made my final decision and will be racing the 10000m at USATF Club Nationals this Friday. It's going to be hard and I'm going to be DFL as it's taking some time to get my fitness back. But I figured that I can just show up and do my best, use it as a workout and that should be good enough. Or at least I hope so! Oh yeah, it's also supposed to be 85 degrees Very cool, Salty - that is the way to get the training kick-started. I was actually beginning to get worried that there was something wrong with all those bike miles you were beginning to put in a while back..... ;^) |

It ached my entire bike ride on Sunday (which I cut short) and Canada is on the 27th this month. I have a doc appt today - he'll probably want to make sure I don't have a clot going on - but in any case I suspect I'll be limited to swim-only for awhile. Arg. Mark - hope the doctor comes back with some positive news and you only have to lay up for a couple of days or can work through the discomfort. |

He is nothing but a washed-up crossfitter. ;^) Seriously, that is great news, Chris - can't wait to see you there. How soon is reasonable to start the smack talk? Sorry, haven't been on here much, and since this wasn't on my radar until I got the email, didn't follow the Nats discussions. So now I get to chase Bryan AND Rusty. Who else???? I am a participant. I qualified by squeaking by in a sprint. My best Oly time is 2:29, so I will be BOMOP probably. But I don't care |

I assume they'll order an US to figure that out

But I don't care Had planned on going this year (even registered for both races), but the new job starts 8/1 with a cross country move in the days prior. Not gonna happen. Bummed for sure, as I am about the rest of my planned racing schedule evaporating. Oh well - at least I'm still s/b/r training for fun! Wish I could be there so your percentage placement would be that much better (with me buoying up the balance of the field from the BODFL position, given the complete lack of consistency in my training of late!). Can't wait to hear about this year's races - sounds like it'll be a blast! Matt |

I have a major ride planned for that Saturday across the state and will be just down the road watching another event on Sunday, so not likely to be there either day even though I'm the closest. |

Master![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() And Downward Spiral sure is interesting when you push it more. Bunch of intervals, 2' or less each, 18' total work. Don't really want to think about what I *should* be doing this at. |

Master![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Fred D Finished the 4th ride in 4 days. Got stung by a huge bee that somehow flew into my helmet. He panicked and I couldn't get it off in time. Ouch. Last (evil) ride is tomorrow. I will survive. Ouch is right! Any issues when you get stung? I can swell quite a bit and usually get a bit light-headed, but other family members will have immediate life threatening reactions. |

Master![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Fred D Originally posted by spudone . Sorry. Get the Doppler ultrasound to be safe. Have you done any deep tissue massage?

Thanks everyone -- ultrasound checked out ok, no clotting. I haven't done any massage or ART yet but I might try that now. |

Master![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Fred D Facebook and ST are sure talking about Gyde/Colom. Hey question? Conti GPS II tires with latex tubes. I weigh 158. What pressure would you suggest? I'm thinking 100 psi? I'm about 155lbs; usually run about 100psi, maybe 105 if it's a very smooth surface. That's with 23mm tires. |

Member![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Fred D Originally posted by brigby1 swelling and pain. Huge bumblebee. Been stung by a lot of wasps this year, but this guy died very soon after the sting. Got me on the temple which hurt like heck, with a little nausea, but doing ok now. I still like the mantra, "it only hurts if you care" lol Originally posted by Fred D Finished the 4th ride in 4 days. Got stung by a huge bee that somehow flew into my helmet. He panicked and I couldn't get it off in time. Ouch. Last (evil) ride is tomorrow. I will survive. Ouch is right! Any issues when you get stung? I can swell quite a bit and usually get a bit light-headed, but other family members will have immediate life threatening reactions. On my ride the other day I was going down a hill and I saw a bumblebee and it looked like it was sitting there waiting for me..I just closed my eyes and waited for the sting but it never happened thank god I get the same way after a sting some localized swelling and nausea. Not sure about where everyone is from but this year I am finding the bumble's as aggressive as wasps this year. |

I've had good luck with ART....if you can find a good chiropractor who's sports oriented, I swear they can work miracles. |

I think I may be running too high pressure....though since I got the disk cover on my rear wheel and have been having people help me inflate, three different people have asked if I go up to 120, so I was wondering if I was running too low since I tend to use 100. Maybe I need to be in the 90 - 95 range?? |

After the advice I got here, 95 psi on rough (all my local) and 100 on smooth (still looking for those) roads. 160-163 pounds, GP4000s tubies or GatorSkin tubies (one set of wheels). Was at 120-130 psi before and was like riding a jackhammer. New pressure seems every bit as fast (faster? - or it's in my head, but who cares… feeling faster feels good), and WAY more comfortable.

Elite![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have a sprint this weekend that has a really rough section - the rattle your teeth at high speed kind. I may try dropping the pressure down 5-10 psi to see how that works. |

Expert![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I run 100-105 on my GP4000 at 160-162 lbs. Looks like another big weekend of racing this weekend for the group. I am doing Grand Haven Olympic which includes the swim in Lake Michigan and a really long run to T1 (3/4 mile). The Lake Michigan swim will be good prep for Steelhead. Looking forward to it as the last 3 weeks have gone really well...in the tough, I need a nap sense. |
