Champion 6973 marietta | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! jvanis - 2010-08-17 3:34 PM My wife and I went in today to get our shots for our trip in November, walked out feeling violated! A string of shots including Hepatitis A, Yellow Fever, Polio Booster, and something else I forgot, plus I have to go back in for my tetanus booster at some point. Whew, arm is quite sore today, now to hope I do not get any side effects from them in the next couple weeks, one was said to take around 8-10 days before headaches etc could set in from it. my first navy physical i walked out feeling violated. all was good right up until the old doc told me to drop trow, turn around and bend over. till this day i can hear that tube of ky making that pfffft noise. then there was the time i had a colonoscopy. not so bad becasue you're knocked out. but they fill you up with gas to get a good view. then when you come to out in the recovery area all these hot nurses are around and i'm farting like i crushed a case of guiness the night before. thankfully they were'nt smelly farts. |

Extreme Veteran 333 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Sure, William, don't post for 2 or 3 weeks and then just come lurk on here hoping for some sport bra pictures...pervy!  Immature, I know. But someone had to make the comment. Just glad to be back. (Oh, and did some training recently with my brother and his girlfriend, who was like one of the top 20 American finishers at Kona last year. We did a 2.5 mile OWS, and she totally "chicked" me, but it was a lot of fun.) |

Tobey91 - 2010-08-17 5:49 PM kkcbelle - 2010-08-17 5:28 PM kt65 - 2010-08-17 4:07 PM kkcbelle - 2010-08-17 1:58 PM jvanis - 2010-08-17 3:30 PM kt65 - 2010-08-17 2:31 PM Has anyone upgraded to the newer Garmin HR strap? Is it more comfortable? I had a glorious month off with no HR strap and putting it on yesterday, it was extremely annoying and started to chafe again at the bottom of the hard plastic part. Should I invest in the newer strap? I have the new "premium" strap, and it is night and day different. After a little bit I forget it is even there, much less bulky and rigid, so it just conforms to your body and feels much more natural. I didn't even know there was a newer strap... Kim, do you use your HR monitor with the strap-hook-things or do you just slide it under a jogbra? I do the latter, but with looser-fitting bra tops it often doesn't register properly. Fortunately I know my HR by feel pretty well, but that's still frustrating. Is this newer one designed such that you could slide it under a bra w/o having the strap go around your back? Or does the softer strap mean you do need to hook it all around? (Am I making sense here?) The newer one looks like it is a much smaller plastic piece but still has the strap that goes all the way around. The one I currently have has the strap hook things like you mentioned, but I actually never thought to use just the plastic piece without the straps...but yes, I slide it under the sport bra. Not sure about the answer to your question. Here's a pic http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Premium-heart-monitor-strap/dp/B0029M3NSS It isn't the strap that bugs me, it is that big plastic thing all the way across my chest!!! Thanks, Jeff, I may get this one...will have to see if I can find a good deal! Yeah -- I just slide the harder plastic part under my bra. Sometimes I get an itty bitty bit of chafe right in the center of my chest, but I never feel it when running. If you get it, let me know what you think and if/how it could be used without the entire hook strap. I HATE having things around my chest (yes, even bras, which I try to wear as infrequently as possible as clothing permits). Pictures, please ...  |

Master 1372 Tosa, WI | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! kkcbelle - 2010-08-17 9:10 PM So we dive, eat, take a good nitrogen off-load nap, read, research and ID fish/critters we saw on the day's dives, have happy hour, eat dinner, watch a movie or some tv, go to sleep and do it all again the next day. That is my kind of vacation! Ever dive any of the Cayman's? (One of my favorites!) |

That is my kind of vacation! Ever dive any of the Cayman's? (One of my favorites!) Have not!! Our favorite spot thus far has been Bonaire. We did Cozumel several years back, but it was within a year or two of the hurricane and much of the coral still hadn't recovered.  In Hawaii, my fave place to dive is Kona. We have soooooo many places on our "We want to dive there!" list, but the last three trips have all been to Hawaii just for the sheer convenience factor. When the grandparents have the kids for a finite amount of time, we hate to lose too much time to travel... We have fantasies of the kids diving with us when they are older... |

Jump up and down people and give us your story! For us non racers, when does your season officially end? do you plan to take time off? ramp right back up for Fall running season? or sit on a couch and watch Football? Beyond excited here!! Up at 3:20am today (when alarm was going off at 3:55). Kim, I will be in your city this morning (well, south, at the airport)... but the layover is only about :50 so there's no chance for visits. Bummer! Plan to be eating lunch on Maui this afternoon!! I'm thinking my season will end 10/10/10 and I may take a short break. That'll be after the Portland Marathon. I don't see any more tris this season as I don't want to mess up running. Never say never, and maybe a sprint will call my name, but I haven't seen my bike in a couple of weeks. That said, kids start school 8/30 so NV and I may have to take a celebratory spin (even though I always get a bit sad when school starts up -- it means my little squirts are one more year closer to leaving me!)... GOOD LUCK RACERS!!! |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! I am racing Sunday in a short sprint. The big draw is that ot is in my neighborhood! I will practically fall out of bed and be there. Funny thing is while it is short (250 yds pool swim, 10 mile bike and 5K run) the bike and run are HILLY! Should be interesting. Right now my season ends with Augusta on 9/26. However, I might do the Washing 1/2 on 1030 if Augusta goes well and I feel up to it. "Off-season" I plan to get the last of the extra weight off and fix my run! |
