Hi All

For those of us who were emailing back and forth yesterday, someone has the "V" word.  I have gotten no less than 100 emails since yesterday morning.  Anyone else? know how to get rid of it? The emails look something like this (and the to name changes each time):

The message or an attachment did not reach the intended recipient(s).

So that was Sam then?
And the "V" word? What? Rhymes with "regina'???

TrevorC - 2009-10-21 7:14 PM new pedals.....look keo classic $109....good?
And what is the difference when it says 'wth stainless steel spindle' vs not.

SSMinnow - 2009-10-22 10:16 AM

I knew someone from Canada would say that! It's like Sirus with a V.  No, it is not a Sam issue, I actually thought it was a Trevor issue because that is how is started yesterday, now I am just not sure.  Are you getting these emails?

I get that email as well. But if you are a performace member on BT we can get 15% off and free shipping. In Canada we dont get free shipping, but an equivalent value of US ground shipping taken off our order.

Now which pedals of the 2?

fattyfatfat - 2009-10-22 10:07 AM

oh. ok. good to know thanks.

trisports recommendation is for heavier riders to go with the classic as its a bit stronger.  according to trisports, the spindle is a bit weaker than the axle, hence better suited for fatty's.

also the 4.5 degrees of play come from the cleat.  you have three option's.  grey, 4.5 degrees comes standard with the pedal.  they don't allow you to sub it out.  so if you wanted less or more you have to pay.  there are three option 0 degrees (black), 4.5 (grey), and 9 (red)  i use red.   cleats run in the 30 dollar range. 

not sure about the materials.  i have emails in to look-usa and look-france for clarification.  it says stainless in some areas and steel in others.  nowhere do i see CrMo for this pedal.  nor did the trisports rep.  i'll let you know what look says

DougRob - 2009-10-22 10:07 AM Couple of quick training anecdotes:

Last night while riding my road bike on the CT on the IM Lake Placid course, I passed and led the pace rider for the first time! He passed me back eventually on a downhill. Without real gravity I cannot get up into the 40's like the pacer does without larger gears. I lasted 55 minutes and averaged 21.75 mph. I have seen my Watts and speed steadily increase. I also sweat buckets!

This Am on my morning run I tripped about 3 miles into the run. I scraped my knee and the knuckles on my right hand as well as scraping my right ring fiinger tip preet bad. I am sure it looked like pure grace in action. D'oh! I am happy to say I could keepp running and it was a pretty good run. Oh yeah I wore compression socks fo rthe first time and I liekd them. I was luck to be wearing them and long sleeves or I would have had more road rash.

SSMinnow - 2009-10-22 12:38 PM

Nice job putting the hammer down on the pacer.  I do have a question about that.  I often set up a pacer and even though I put out more AVGW than him he always smokes me.  Why?

Redknight - 2009-10-22 1:07 PM

Too bad about the fall Doug. the good thing is that the body heals well and you won't even see a mark soon. I can imagine how graceful you must have been.

I have been planning my next years tri's and as much as I want to do an IM I just don't see it in the books for next year. Too much traiing and not enough time to get it all in. Sooo  I am going to stretch it out and train over the next year and a half an aim for an IM in 2011. That should allow me enough time to build up the endurance and stamina required while remaining married.

Oh yeah and Suzy I see you're being awefully tough on us Canadians. Re trevor's comment

TrevorC - 2009-10-22 11:19 AM
Sweet...so get the the look classic...Not with stainless steel spindle. Straight up Classic.
grey comes with pedal. I could upgrade to red later if i wanted ?
I think that is the way to go then.
Thanksfor the help...putting in the order in an hour or so.
Going to get some pedals, and buying a few of the old Kona Ironman DVD's. and we'll see what else I can find.

dalessit - 2009-10-22 1:38 PM

So are you saying you are putting out more Watts/Kg than the pacer and it is still beating you?  That doesn't seem right.
