Did you go through a complete fit which included knee tracking and cleat adjustment?  Or, was it just a quick, ok pedal the bike, looks good adjustment by a salesman?  When I got fit, the process took about three hours.

GoGoGo - 2010-04-24 11:43 AM Aww crap...they have moved to the front of the house & are eating my wife's shrubs & plants.  Don't get the wife upset!!!

shmeeg - 2010-04-24 12:55 PM ^^  Bahahahaaahaha, thats hilarious! 

so, ive been listening to the zen tri podcast a lot lately and this guy makes all kinds of 'green smoothies' w/ fruits and veggies and stuff so i decided to make one of my own.  looks gross, but it actually tastes half decent and is a good way to get in some greens and other goodies on the go

ingredients: 2 handfuls baby spring mix, 12 baby carrots, 1/4 red pepper, 3 strawberries, 1 apple, 1 banana, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 cup odwalla superfood, 1/4 cup chia seeds, 2 packets stevia.

brick94513 - 2010-04-24 3:08 PM Ummm... I think I'll take your word on how that concoction tastes!

and that smoothie looks like salsa verde to me.  made me want to go grab some tortilla chips. haha

Richard, I thought I had problems with rabbits.  That takes the cake. LOL  btw, even if the rabbits eat the shrubs I'm still not allowed to shoot them.  LOL   

I got a nice swim in this morning.  Moved up my volume to sets of 400m with 60 sec rest between.  Felt pretty good.  I was doing the 400's in about 10 minutes.  I really wish I could get a bit faster than that, but at least my endurance in the water is coming along.  I tried out some flex fins from TYR I bought today.  Those things make you fly on the kickboard!!! lol  I could really feel it stretching out my ankles and strengthening my kick.  Overall, they seem to be a good purchase

Well, did ya??  Did you glow in the dark after?  

brick94513 - 2010-04-24 10:05 AM

I've had pretty good "luck" with seeing the buoys and I'm never in front on the swim! .  I also try to find landmarks above the buoys when practical.

Didn't you do the Alcatraz swim?  How did you sight during that race?

dhopman - 2010-04-24 10:11 PM

Yup, but for Alcatraz you're sighting off a huge ship or the fontana towers. I'm really not too worried about the whole sighting thing, just curious if using the bouys is realistic for the whole pack.

Can you elaborate on what the fins are, why you use them, and what the benefits are?

croixfan - 2010-04-24 5:58 PM Anyone heard from Trina on her race?

brick94513 - 2010-04-25 1:31 AM

I'm pretty sure she was traveling.  I'm anxiously awaiting for a race report though!  The funny thing is I'm so nervous to hear.  Does that make sense?  I just hope I was able to steer her in the right direction.
