Pro  4608    Brooklyn, NY |  Subject: RE: The Justice League of BT1stTimeTri - 2009-04-08 9:30 AM LazyMarathoner - 2009-04-08 7:53 AM 1stTimeTri - 2009-04-07 9:52 PM You did TERRIFIC! After all the complaining moments, then at the end you state you're going to do the race again. That's kinda funny how we all have those emotions and thoughts going. Those weren't complaints, and I even specifically called that out because I don't want it perceived as such. I think you'd have to be super human to feel absolutely fresh and good throughout an HIM or any other really long endurance effort. I hurt like he!! during the mary, but was having the best day of my life. Similarly, battling the wind, dealing with nutrition issues and struggling with physical discomfort on the run are normal and in my opinion, important parts of the HIM experience, that I think are worth sharing. People who say it was nothing but wonderful aren't sharing the truth. And as far as the course challenges, again, I think it's important to share there were glitches. But would that stop me from doing it again? No, absolutely not. I registered last night so I'm in for next year. Wait until IM Moo, m'dear. Just wait. The biggest factor will be the weather, then you just deal with it, somehow. Weather, shmeather. Bring it on! I'm feeling like you think I had a worse race than I did. I can't say enough how good it was. Guess your interpretation is different. |

Should I go with XTR componentry or just stick with XT level. I want to go SRAM but they do not do a bar end shifter and are not compatable with Shimano. What say all you? Thanks. Get the red one  |

I'd ask that in the equipment or COJ thread for a better response. I know nothing about Mountain bikes and components. Sorry. |

Real easy. You put them in your mouth and chew. Solved! That's one advantage of being overweight...I can store things away in my cheeks very easily. Who needs to breath out when you can chew candy while you swim? |
