TrevorC - 2009-09-09 10:05 PM Not sure if I can post it or not ,but here goes nothing.......pic of my girls(4,2) after their 1st race. It was funny, after the received their medals, my wife said she wanted to take their pictures. This was the pose they came up with. On their knees and holfing their medals.

Plainsman AU - 2009-09-10 7:58 AM I had the most crappy run this morning of the year...I think.  Got up at 4:30 to get a 2 hr run in this morning.  Thinking 12 miles.  Should have been my longest last run befor taper for the 27th.  HR was out of control.  Even doing the shuffle, it seemed like I couldn't get it in the zone.  Just felt like a struggle the whole way.  I have had a slight low grade headache the last couple days...I think sinus related.

Anyway, I managed to shuffle my way home at only 8 miles, of which I probably walked a mile.  I am feeling kinda defeated this morning.  But on a good note, my legs felt good and my knee (ITB) felt like it was good to go.  I may try to throw another long run in next week sometime to get some confidence back.

Off to Atlanta today for a meeting, and Shawna is coming up after work so that we can have a night out for our Anniversary.  Maybe I can get her drunk enough to spring an Ironman or something like that on her  (like Chris did)

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend.

SSMinnow - 2009-09-09 9:22 PM Ready for a good laugh?  I decided I needed to do another tire change and actually fill it with a CO2 cartridge. I pulled out my handy little inflator and tried to pop in the threaded CO2 cartridge.  NOPE!  The entire season I was carrying around threaded CO2 cartridges when I need unthreaded.  WHAT A DOPE!

So here is my question.  How do you know how much to put in the tire?  I ride with 100PSI and short of pressing on the tire to see if it is hard enough, I don't know what to do.  How much does a standard 16 g CO2 cartridge hold?

tahrens - 2009-09-10 10:03 AM Trevor - beautiful!   You should be very proud.

Suzy - so you are going to race your guts out at the HIM and then STAND ALL DAY as you volunteer for the IM?  WOW!!  Don't fall over on any of the athletes as you hand them water.

Nick - good luck and have fun!

Reub - thanks for that info.  That was very helpful.

I did an ows practice last night and think too much dirty lake water went up my nose for now I have a massive sinus headache and a fever?  WTH?!  This should feel really good for my 14mile run on the ironman couse Friday night with the 2 mile swim the next day. Maybe if I inhale enough salt water it will clear out my sinuses.  At least I am not following the swim with a 95mile bike ride like the rest of my training group. Those people are animals!! 

SSMinnow -
Rob--if you have time, get a massage tomorrow to work out any last minute kinks.  My legs are a little tired too and I haven't done much. I have one on the books in the afternoon.

Thanks Suzie. I was trying to book a massage but waited too long. NOw everyone seems to be booked up. I am going to get some accupuncture done to relieve the glut. I did a 20 minute bike 20 run and 20 min swim last night and although not a bad pain it is nagging.
