SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 348)

Don't sweat it - for you ad Suzy Lonestar is training.  Tony and I have Lonestar on our radar as an "A" race.  It will be fun no matter what. 

swbkrun - 2009-11-17 12:10 PM For those doing Lonestar and are worried about your bikes.... Check w/ http://www.tribiketransport.com/default.asp

They may be going down there?  I am telling you all though... If you know how to take your pedals off (REVERSE THREAD), and unscrew a few screws..... It is not hard!  Don't be afraid to try this out on your own.

Roni, do not sweat it.  Like Sam says, I was told I would be finishing up my first training block and my expectation should be to finish the race, not race the race.  Honestly, I really don't give a crap how well I do on this one....more excited to see the gang and enjoy myself.  The zero pressure mentality is the way I am going and you should too.  My only nerves will be in the salty bayou with some whales or sharks or something......

Says the man that probably has Ryan put his bike back together.

Yeah, last I looked they wern't going to Lonestar.

I would imagine you take the pedals, wheels, & handlebars off, pretty easy right there.  All you need is a pedal wrench and a hex wrench and you should be good to go.

roni_runnw - 2009-11-17 8:02 AM Hearing about everyone's training plan start dates is making me feel like a TOTAL slacker. I don't start specific training until the beginning of February for IMCDA, and Lonestar will be a training race for that, so ummm... save me a beer. 

Sam and Tony- Thanks for the clarification on the emails. Although Sam and John smack talk is my favorite.

Yeah slacker. You're the only one I know who does a marathon as a warm up for a longer race.

  Gators, Suzy, you forgot the gators...  and the jellyfish...  and the stingrays...

And don't forget John and Andy swimming up behind you tickling your toes.

ashort33 - 2009-11-17 3:58 PM

Just called him...  left a message....

DougRob - 2009-11-17 2:59 PM

Good luck!

ashort33 - 2009-11-17 3:58 PM

At least its tickling toes and not sucking them  - ewww.... 

DougRob - 2009-11-17 2:59 PM

Good luck!

ashort33 - 2009-11-17 4:50 PM

Thanks Doug!  Picking it up tomorrow!

SSMinnow - 2009-11-17 1:17 PM I just came back from seeing my PT.  This guy has gotten me through a lot in the years we have worked together.  He isn't convinced based on his workup this is a soft tissue injury.   Believes it is a stress reaction, a pre-cursor to a stress fracture and that it wouldn't show up in the xray I had yesterday.  Bottom line is he asked me not to run until I am pain free walking and even then if I take one step and it hurts running to stop immediately.   I am not to attempt running for at least 10 days, but could be off as much as 3-4 weeks.
