yeah we can surely plan that.  If you're training in the loop, i work in the west loop across the river.  Just a little forward thinking, you should plan a training session the last week in august and end the week by doing the chicago tri

Off topic, I've been listening to "Get your Geek on" podcast and while they really love their blogs they have some cool info on there.  The majority of the show is just two people talking about cool stuff they've learned about triathlons but there are some good peices of knowledge wedged in there.  Such as this:

I learned about this training method that they (teamevo) are pushing people to do for the off season to stay motivated and that is to do as many (or at least one) ironman races in a month - spread out over the course of the month.  It may not be as satisfying as finishing the IM in one day but at least you can get an idea for the distances and stay motived while training.  I started mine yesterday.

Also cameron, have you had a chance to take a look at my questions regarding running/IM 70.3 training?  Let me know if you have because i'm not very familiar with the BT blog system so I may just not know how to find it.

Thanks in advance for the help!

AMAZING.  truly inspirational.  you know those days when you think you've got it tough and you're kicking around the dirt, and then you read something like this and it just really sheds light on what's really up.  we all have the potential to be great, we just have to know it. thanks for sharing.

 my favorite prt tho would probably have to be the end bit about being able to adjust his height on dates ; ) 

 AND as far as your trip to chicago, i'll definately be taking part in this consumption of beer ; )

 cheers

I'm a native of California if that helps. :-)  But am currently living in New York - hopefully for only another year or so (who can stand this cold weather? I want to go back home!!)

I am signed up for Avia Wildflower in Monterey this year. :-D

 Sigh.

yeah where did everyone go with their posts?  I'm re evaluating my race season.  My original goal was to do an olympic distance this season with some smart and strong training over the next few months, but it must be because of podcasts that are heavily IM focused that I want to try a half iron man.

Unfortunately this is not a great year for that as i'm getting married in june, my race i'm all registered for falls right around the same time as most HIM's and I just didn't want to overload august.

Which i guess I can ask some of you, i'm all set up to go for the chicago triathlon (olympic distance) at the end of august... if I were able to do the distance and race the Steelhead 70.3 in the beginning of august, would the month of august be spent recovering/tapering for the chicago tri?  If anyone could weigh in with their opinion on how august would be for me doing a 70.3 in the beginning and then an olympic at the end would be... please help!

Also anyone have any cyclocomputer reccomendations for indoor spinning?  I want to track my miles and my computer broke last year.   I'm looking for a wireless so i don't have to worry about running wires to my rear tire.

Wow Karen that link to the training program was exactly something that I was looking for!  Thanks for the info.   I'm pretty scared of the 13.1 too.

SORRY that I sort of dropped off of the map.  I struggle with depression and it was getting the better of me.  I didn't go to the gym THREE days! (long time for me) but still managed to at least do Pilates at home.  I am trying to get back on track now with a hard workout yesterday and a moderate workout today.

I'm from the Central Valley of California and am currently living in NYC. :-)

Does anyone have thoughts on insoles for running shoes?  When I bought my shoes, someone mentioned that the standard insoles that come in shoes are toast after a couple weeks or running.  Just trying to figure out if there is any truth to this.
