Elite 4108 Calgary,AB,Canada | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! fattyfatfat - 2010-09-07 8:44 AM socks. I bought a pair of the CEP socks, and they are awesome. I have ran in them a few times now. I can't imagine getting out of the water though with them on. Wouldn't they be soaking wet to put in a bike shoe? I can see wearing them next year for the full, but I couldn't imagine trying to pull them on for a shorter race. Feels like they take me 5 minutes to put on. |

For the drunks in the group, try some Pedialyte.....used to use it all the time in highschool and college when I fell into the bottle...Boones Farm, Mad Dog, if works for pretty much anything. Doing some last minute shopping for this weekend, a little more organizing and then dancing around the house doing the countdown! Make it a good day! Ouch - that brings back bad memories. High School graduation night - 2 bottles of Boones Farm Apple Blossom and I woke up the next morning w/ a toilet seat as a pillow! |

His wife was racing and didn't make the swim cut off. Her husband was racing too but was standing at the water's edge waiting for her at the time cut off. She had at least 12 family/friends there to support her (matching pink shirts, balloons, etc) and it was heartbreaking to see them all around her on the beach afterwards. But the most inspiring part was she and her husband were standing in front of me to register the next day. What spirit. Can't speak to the dork in the tennis shoes........ Have to share a nice biker story. A girlfiend and I were out riding in the country (corner of Tingen and Friendship for my locals) and there was this adorable little old lady refilling an ice cooler by her mailbox. She had a sign on it that said something to the effect of Ice and Water for Cyclists. When we stopped to talk to her she explained how it is always so hot and she feels bad for the cyclists so she put the cooler out for us. She didn't understand why people were leaving money under the cooler since it is free. I think I need to bake Ms Betty an apple pie this weekend.  I have worn compression for every race I've done this season. For Sprints, I wore the sleeves under my wetsuit and put on my socks as everyone else does. No issues getting peeled or taking off my wetsuit (other than my normal slow stupid tendencies!). For HIMs, I wore full socks. I did not wear them in the swim, but pulled them on in T1 with no issues. I have the SUGOIS and the only thing to keep straight it they have a left and right foot. My advice is get your legs soaking wet and test out putting on your brand. For IM, I am doing the same exact thing I did for HIMs, but MIGHT change into a new pair for the run depending on whether or not it rains and they are soaking wet. I don't wear them for performance at all. I wear them because they seem to keep my calves less tight over the long haul. PS I did not need to read about the lady that missed the swim cut off  |

PS I did not need to read about the lady that missed the swim cut off Don't even let your mind go there. That is in no way a concern of yours. You are going to rock this race. Besides, with your size to your advantage you can slip right though those tight spaces between the swimmers and no one would notice. No getting swum over for you.  |

Besides, with your size to your advantage you can slip right though those tight spaces between the swimmers and no one would notice. No getting swum over for you. I've never worn socks, but wore sleeves in KY and loved them. I tried putting them on in T1 - bad move. Someone on BT suggested putting them on before the swim. I wish I listened. My PT, who is an exceptional runner, recommend that since I had them to wear them whenever I could. They help stabilize the muscle, therefore reduce fatigue. I originally bought them for recovery, but began wearing them in training and then in my race. My legs felt noticeably better the day after a long run or hard training day.

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Hey Kids....lots of chatter going on about compression, my size AND sharks!!! Re: Compression, I much prefer the socks and here's why. The sleeves end right at the bottom of the achilles tendon and they tend to be slightly tighter there and at the top. When I wear sleeves for longer than a sprint that part of my lower leg hurts. I also think you need to find the brand you like the best, trial and error. I have CEPS, Sugois and another sleeve Zensah. I like SUGOIS the best. I do wear them for both biking and running. I actually find my calves get tighter on the bike and then hurt my run. Now that I wear them, seems they're not so tight and my run is more comfortable. Twin: As a marketer and a researcher, I do not recommend you change your shoes AND change your compression habit at the same time. If something starts hurting you won't know what caused the problem. Change one and then change the other!!! Fear not people, I am not worried about missing the cut off or getting kicked by some giant dork taller than John or Andy or even being swam over!!! I've got my start position and am ready to swim, swim, swim so I can get out, out, out of the water and onto better things! |

Happily (or sadly) that has become "old hat," so I can't honestly say if we saw any!! Chances are we did, as we saw many, many sharks on this trip. You also commonly see them on turtles, which we also saw in abundance. I'll go through the photos and see if we saw any that I neglected to remember!! |
