I've never done a real one either.  The only ones I've done are the tests on my own.  A real test is done with a doctor.  They hook you up to all sorts of machines and then measure the amount of CO2 and other things that you are exhaling during intense work.  I just found out that the University here in town does them for pretty cheap!  You might want to check out PSU to see if they do them as well.

Good point, Shaun.  Yes, it is different for all three sports.

Can I have some of your running mojo?  Great job this morning!  You've gotta feel on top of the world with all of your awesome training lately!

I had some outpatient surgery last year and they were concerned about my low blood pressure as I was laying in the bed waiting to be wheeled away. I had to tell them about all my training, etc. Even my GP had to be reminded at my last checkup. I've got my running/HR data on my Palm and hauled it out to show her.

I feel great! Too bad my first race is still 5 weeks away. I want to run a race now! 

Go dominate that tri tomorrow, Shaun!

UH, make that Sunday. Sorry Shaun, I can't seem to keep mydays straight

My ride today turned into a minor adventure. I found a new route on Bikely.com that was the right distance and went into an area I hadn't ridden before. So, I'm cruising along looking for a left turn at 11.5 miles. I get there and there is no left turn. I can see where it used to be before the construction took it away. Since I didn't know the area I decided to go back to the main road and ride on a bit further and then turn around for an out and back ride. It was a bit weird to be riding along knowing how to get back home the way I came but not actually knowing where I was.

Before my ride I did a short run with my daughter. When we got done I got ready for my ride. I figured my running tights were perfect for the ride weather, so off I go. It wasn't until I was back home getting ready for my shower that I realized I had not put on bike shorts. Since I didn't really notice, I guess that means my saddle is pretty good for me.

Glad to hear the race went well, Shaun. Congratulations on the bike too! I want to see pics went you get it all built. You rock!

Yeah!  I guess that is a good sign that you found a good saddle!  Nice job on your bike ride!

Amazing race, Shaun!  You kicked a$$!  I'm jealous that your boy won such an awesome bike!  It will be fun to get it set up!

The costume was hilarious!  Great job!

I ran a race over Halloween and I got passed by a man wearing a wedding dress!  He was holding his dress up so he wouldn't trip over it!  The tutu idea is much more runner friendly!
