Come ride the HHH with me and we'll see.....

Well it would be more like you ride the HHH and I'll meet you two hours later in the beer tent when I'm done.

If you mean Hotter than Hell Hundred down in Wichita Falls, TX then I'll be there to join you...  usually its not much over about 102 for the final few miles... (although two years ago, it was 114)

Hmm, typically you would find pain at the insertion point which is here:

Your under the knee cap description makes me nervous.  I'm not PT or doctor, but if you are running on it and it hurts, I would stop.   Occasionally you will have an injury where the pain subsides as you warm up.  I usually feel it's ok to run on it then so long as when you finish it doesn't hurt ALOT afterwards.  If it hurts tomorrow, I agree you should hold off running.  Personally when I am coming off of an issue, I am never running a solid mile. Instead it would be something like: 5' walk/2' run/3' walk/2' run and repeat until you've gone 10' of running.  Doesn't sound like much, but your body is telling you that something isn't right.  you're smart to listen to it.

Hey Suzy, is that you in the background of this picture? 

SSMinnow - 2013-02-09 11:40 AM

Where in the heck did you get that?  Yep, it's me!  That photo is from IM 2010.

I saw it on a friend's facebook page.  The people in the foreground are from my local traithlon team, Triple Threat.  Small world...

SSMinnow - 2013-02-09 2:35 PM Kim-rubber gloves!! I use them to pull up my wetsuit wash the dishes for my man all the time. How did you miss that when we did it in '11????

badgerintx - 2013-02-09 3:12 PM

Fixed that for ya! 

SSMinnow - 2013-02-09 3:34 PM

Ha!  The ones I used to do the dishes are purple!

kt65 - 2013-02-10 8:40 AM

So, now who does the dishes????  Mine are Bluettes by the way! 

And no, I have absolutely no recollection of you putting on your wetsuit let alone using rubber gloves!  Remember, I was shaking from nervousness that morning!!!

copa2251 - 2013-02-09 4:47 PM just got off my bike after another long trainer ride, really tough today but got it done. Trainer Road kicks your butt, there's never an easy section during the longer workouts it's just relentless. I find the hard shorter ones with tough intervals followed by recovery so much easier to handle. I think next weekend I'll get outside but the TR indoor workouts seem so much more effective that they sort of become addictive. If makes me worry that I won't get the same benefit if I go out on the road!?!

That's what I get for answering on my phone while getting a pedicure!

David, we have a dishwasher silly.  We rinse/clean our dishes before we put them in the dishwasher.  I don't like sticking them in there with tons of food on them like some people do.  Probably more than you needed to know.

Read the latest edition of Inside Triathlon.  Tim D.  talks about the need for getting in the great outdoors to be a really great athlete. He's talking specifically about Andy Potts.  His opinion only.    

PS.  Nice to have you stop by!  Come again soon.

TriGuyBri - 2013-02-09 8:30 PM Trainer day for me as well. 2 hrs. 45 min. Tried out Perpetumn and it went fine. 2 bottles plus a couple bottles of water and a Clif bar. First time I actually had to get off the bike ( twice) to go to the bathroom. 75 min run tomorrow and a 2500 swim.

I have a pain under my kneecap like you describe.... . I have since been to a sports medicine specialist to ensure that my running would not be detrimental to my knees.  I have runner's knee in both knees, along with jumpers knee and IT band on my right knee.  It is really important to go to the PT to ensure you do not injure yourself farther.  Also I have a brace that he perscribed that helps termediously. ( yes I hate them too. )  I find that when I run at a slower rate that I don't have the pain as much as when I run faster with a longer stride.

The bike is difficult for my IT band due to it is hard to use a brace when I ride. I recommend not doing any hard rides till it feels better or you get it looked at.

Hope your knee feels better soon. Also please see a specialist to ensure that you are getting better not worse. It can put you out a long time if you are not taking the proper percautions (brace and PT) and being careful.

Great ride... However 2x to use the restroom in under 3hrs?  Were you hydrating a bunch beforehand as well?  Keep an eye on that.  When I had this issue I had to change out my saddle.  The seat felt "fine" but it was causing me to use the bathroom a bunch on rides.  It drove my friends crazy when we would go on group rides.  Just something to keep an eye on.

TriGuyBri - 2013-02-12 12:30 AM I think it was a bit too much water. I have another long one this weekend so we'll see how it goes. Never really thought much about the saddle adding to it. I don't have any more numbness after changing to the Adamo Road. It is a fairly new saddle setup for me. THX for the reply and thoughts.

I would do a sweat test at a couple of varying temperatures once you hit the great outdoors.  Takes the mystery out of how much fluid you need to ingest.
