Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 29)

I'm grateful that the shop listened to my interest in the bike and ordered the size and color I wanted on a hunch otherwise I'd be waiting for '11's to come in or riding a black or blue Ordu.

dkrrt - 2010-05-11 11:52 PM Catwomen- checkout TRIBIKE Transport - www.tribiketransport.com it may be more economical. Cost is about $260.00 round trip. No hassel at all you do not have to dismantle the bike or crate it. There was no damage to the bike at all. You drop it off at a local bike shop. They pick it up there. They are at the race site so just have to pick it up day b4 the race  and drop it off after the race when finished.They return it to your local bike shop and you take it from there.  I used it from Southern Calif. to Louisville  and I'm using it from Southern Calif to Florida. Great service.

Stress Fracture; DAMNIT!

Listen to your body, gang.  And take the advice throughout these forums when they say "Do not increase your distance or workout repetition too fast".... 

I was doing pretty good. Running was going well (in VFF).  Was up to 10 miles on a run, but had spaced my runs out with 3-4 days between.  This past weekend, I got froggy and did 3 back-to-back workouts.  On the third day, I made it about 3miles into the run when the sharp pain started in my foot.  Had to do the limp of shame back to my home.  Diagnosed the next day as a stress fracture of a metatarsul.  Now I'm on crutches for up to two weeks (can't put weight on my foot) and no running for who knows how long.  Definately concerned that I've gone and screwed up my IMFL plans because I couldn't stop and rest a day....
This is where having a good workout plan AND FOLLOWING THE PLAN, would help.  Don't get ahead of yourself. Take those rest days, even if you feel good.  Your body needs the repair time.

F1longhorn - 2010-05-12 8:44 PM Bling Bling! Deal of the century on the 808's! Brand new never ridden 2010 clinchers with skewers tubes and valve extenders out the door with tax for under $1900. Apparently I chose a great time to call the bike store today because they just decided to stop selling Zipps and go with Edge wheels. So they slashed the prices. They may get sold after IMFL, cause lets face it they're still not cheap, but until then I'm going to enjoy every mile on them.
