Do you have any particular favorites or new (to you) discoveries? I had a mini panic attack this morning looking for my arm warmers (found 'em right where I left 'em) while wondering if I would need them (I didn't). Funny, I was just looking at this list last night! Swim Suit: I have a Nike suit and a Speedo that I alternate between Cap: various from whatever race Goggle: TYR Nest
Bike Bike: Cervelo P1 (George!) and looking to outfit him with Flo wheels when they go on sale again Shoes: Shimano somethings... but I got the mens version as it has a wider toe box for less squishing Components: Shimano Ultegra Helmet: I can't remember, but it's red to match George Shorts: Pearl Izumi sugar shorts. LOVE THEM! Top: Betty Designs - comfy and I like the pockets in the back Hydration: PD aero bottle, one on the down tube & 2 behind the seat
Run Shoes: Asics... um... I dunno what they are, but they're comfy! Shorts: Pretty much anything, I don't care as long as they're not too short and don't chafe! Top: Again, pretty much anything as long as it keeps the girls strapped down and doesn't chafe Socks: Balegas - they're awesome Visor: Headsweats
That's about all I've got... I just use my trusty old Timex for a watch for everything and still trying to nail down nutrition for the run. Eventually I'll figure it out, right? |

Do you have any particular favorites or new (to you) discoveries? I keep my arm warmers in my bike clothes drawer, very loosely knotted together as to keep them together but not strain the fabric. One of my favorite pieces of gear is my reflective vest from Nathan. I tried to find a pic of the one I have but they changed the style. It's nice because it's not a full-on vest yet it offers 360* reflectiveness and it's not hot or cumbersome. Well, I'm of course happier when I don't need to wear it (summer/daytime) but I feel very good wearing it when I need to (night/winter). Edited to add my true favorite piece of gear: Swiftwick socks. Especially love the winter weight (can't remember the model name), warm without bulky. Ugh, I can't believe I'm talking about cold weather stuff! Edited by melbo55 2013-09-12 3:42 PM |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) OK, I'm nervously excited. I am planning on trying a new Masters swim program at a local college...so lotsa new stuff to go with that: 1)swimming WITH people 2)swimming a real, planned workout 3)being pokey and therefore intimidated by the fast kids and points 1 and 2! Yet despite these things, I will give it a try - I'm hoping the accountability and structure will help. I'm planning on riding there with my friend (accountability). Price isn't that bad, especially compared to what I typically pay at HARC (which I am currently between plans right now and haven't paid for the new season yet) and considering I'm getting guidance, too. Monday is the day...if all goes well, I will return Friday! |

Monday is the day...if all goes well, I will return Friday! Awesome! Not that you are asking for advice, but I am going to give it to you anyway. Even if it doesn't "go well" the first time, give it a few sessions. Especially if you don't like it because you feel you are slow. That is even more reason to stick with it. I speak from experience with my running group. |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) I got to the standing, but not leg straight, in this pose today. I think the whole class was in giggles trying to do it.
Oh, and I think "eating crow" comes from a yoga pose where you try to balance, but end up on your face. |

I think closest to me would be at least 2hr ride/45min drive. Good luck |

Monday is the day...if all goes well, I will return Friday! Very nice! The organization of it might seem a bit intimidating at first, but you'll get the hang of it. The lanes will be matched up by speed. I swam in the beginner lane the first time there and really didn't notice the fast lane right next to us once we got going. We were occupied with what we were doing and everything else was background. We have some newer swimmers in there now, and I'm not sure they're at 2:00/100. They're staying with it and getting it done though. |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by Asalzwed As the slowest person in the morning Masters I can tell you that while it's not fun to be lapped.....if you are making consistent improvements in stroke technique while doing group training that it is worth it. When I swim with the morning group I am ALWAYS lapped by the entire group......and that coach and I don't communicate so well--but as long as there are efforts to correct the stroke I continue to go (not lately cause marathon training usually happens at dawn).Originally posted by melbo55 OK, I'm nervously excited.

I speak from experience with my running group. I am almost always the only person in the evening Masters class. She puts up a work out (and I love her workouts) but doesn't give as much specific stroke feedback. Just sits ad asks where I'm at. I still feel like I have benefitted from going to her class. Keep at it, there is always something we can learn from the coach. |

Comfortable, fit well, no extra crap. |
Best recent gear find is the free Strava app. I ended up on the phone with my LBS today, talking trash about segments with the owner. This forces me to push, which makes me better.| 2013-09-12 5:32 PM in reply to: JJ- |
