Clipless: derived from the Latin phrase Tondeo Totondi Tonsum that simply translates to: shave, shear, clip. Less is more as we all know so clipless pedals reference shaving or clipping time from your ride(because you have more poser being attached or clipped into your shoe) while doing less with more, smaller and lighter pedals and shoes.

There is NO reason what so ever to fact check that, I assure you it is 1000% factual

WebFoot I STILL have those DAMN pedals for you if you want them and then can spend money on shoes. I just finally got them out of the trunk of my Infiniti which was stuck shut forever an a day. They are SPD like I said (which someone commented as well are more traditionally used in MTB these days) but you can get adapter plates for tradition 3 holed road shoes for SPD clips. What size shoe are you I could prob hook you up with shoes as well and then you could just buy adapter plates. I know I have told you for month yous could have them but I SWEAR I will actually get them in the mail if you really want them.

Originally posted by diablo243 Kim welcome, as it was once tradition of this group to gain entrance you must provide.... "value" if you will to the group as a whole. So... Do you have any super human powers? Do you now or ever at any time posses magical abilities (card tricks do not count)? If you had 1 item to fend off a bear with, what would it be? If you could be any kitchen appliance, what and why? If I was to ask to borrow $1000, what would you say(keep in mind I use the word borrow, VERY loosely)? Finally, a 555-mile, 5-hour plane trip was flown at two speeds. For the first part of the trip, the average speed was 105 mph. Then the tailwind picked up, and the remainder of the trip was flown at an average speed of 115 mph. For how long did the plane fly at each speed? Please show all work Ok now that we have kept Kim bust for a week, Chi you got this man! Wet suits are meant to be stretchy! Get a giant shoe horn if you have to but I am sensing you will make it work! Hump day!!!! Getting closer to the weekend and seems like several people have races coming up, can't wait for post race reports from all! So question for my experienced triathletes. I have opted to wear a tri suit for sprint distance races, for those of you who have worn them, do you opt for numbers pinned on under wetsuit or race number belt in transition?

I have fought my own battles with weight and did lose 25 lbs with weight watchers but it came back and then some more! I walked/ran a half marathon a few years ago so I know I can train but my knees aren't what they used to be so Im hoping a swim and bike ride is the ticket to fitness. FAMILY STATUS: Living with the love of my life, Richard and our 4 cats and 2 dogs. CURRENT TRAINING: Just getting started this week. Will follow one of the plans on this site. 2014 plans and RACES: Planning to do a mini/sprint this fall. There are quite a few scheduled in my state so I'll pick one soon and work towards it. WEIGHTLOSS: It would be nice! I'm 50lbs overweight so I have a lot of work to do (my goal is on the high side of ideal weight because those charts are too general for everybody).

BODYGLIDE. Works wonders. I am sure I could fit a full grown grizzly bear in my wetsuit if I could coat it with Bodyglide first!

Got a race this weekend, really would like to place top 3, think its possible I have been training hard.

Speaking of which, I haven't weighted myself since the disappointment of gaining a few pounds and the dream of getting into the 250's is still going......well.......255!!!!!!

I haven't seen 250 anything in so many years I am super excited and ready to race. Crossing my fingers that my new shirt fits!!!!!

I am excited. I am in the first wave of my sprint. That means I get 3:15 to finish. If I was in the last wave I would gotten 2 hours which might be hard for me at this time. Only other things now that might stop me from racing is wetsuit. Water temps is 60 degrees and without a wetsuit might be dangerous. I not sure if mine will fit. I know it fits at 310 barely but will I get it on at 327 which is what I was this morning? I will have to try it tonight. I might have to scramble for a wetsuit rental this weekend.
