shmeeg - 2010-05-15 1:33 AM Anybody ride on Neuvation wheels and have some feedback?  I know I asked about wheels before, and I know there's no NEED to get some, but I really WANT some.  Our team captain rides on C50s all the time.  They look pretty slick and seem to be quite the quality wheel for the price.  The R28X's are just a touch lighter (~200g), and a bit stronger than the Mavic's I have now, and I wipe my butt w/ 300 bucks so I figure why not :D.


I have no experience with them.

200g...I always find it useful to put this in real lif terms.  You can save this by only half-filling your water bottle.  Or dropping less half a pound body weight, making sure your bladder is empty pre race, etc.   Very small amount of weight.  

Whether it is worth $300 is personal.  I sometimes laugh at myself, as I do the same. Yet had a BBQ, with a great filet, with sauce, salad, wine. etc last night.  If I had brown rice &  white fish, would have been better off & saved much more than 200g!  

Anyway, enough babbling from me...

Yeah, I hear ya, I'm sure it's not a time changing amount of weight, I was just comparing the two wheelset weights.  I think the biggest benefit would be the strength of the alloys vice the stainless set I have now.

Met up with Jay down at the beach and we got all checked in; attended the pre-race video briefing; walked the transition area, and; strolled the expo.  It was a pretty cool day and I think we collectivley have a good race plan.  Came home and went through transitions one more time, set my bib numbers, tweaked my bike, re-packed my transition bag, and got my breakfast and hydration ready for morning.  Time to kick it and watch a movie before going to bed early.  Hope I'll sleep this time.


Jay-  I went back to the Lawyers table and bought that hydration system at the club price ($35).  I couldn't get any further than you on the free masage... but did get the hula-hoop girl to do a show!  See you in Transition at 5:00 AM.

Yikes! Good luck tomorrow guys!

I did a great run today - 8 miles with SUPER consistent splits:
1: 8:20
2: 7:58
3: 8:08
4: 8:07
5: 8:08
6: 8:06
7: 8:07
8: 7:59

Felt sooooo good to get a good run in as I've been having some GI issues lately. =)

Well, sitting here drinking Java...chillin' before 10k race this morning.  Little primer, before Half Mary next weekend.

I find 10k races hard to pace.  5k's are blasting out & Half Mary, easier to pace.  This race has a long steady uphill from km 2-5ish & the down, or flat, for rest.  Hopefully good for me, tackle the incline first & let gravity help me on the back stretch.

Sunny outside, for now.

Gotta go check my lotto numbers to see if I can retireEmbarassed

Nice job on the 10k Richard!  I'll let Mark spill the beans about our race today whenever he gets home, because I think he is better at weilding the pen than I am.  And he usually cracks me up anyway.

Had an interesting chat with someone at 10k race.

Chatting with a fast late 30ish female (2nd female - 37 min).  Anyway, she was telling me she got her son to run a 5k last weekend.  He wasn't sure how far 5k was.  She was on sidelines & he looked at her at 1k, as to ask "how far"?  She said, run until you see the finish line!!

He finished in 20:24!!!!  Holy carp, I can't beat an untrained 11 year old!!

Now tell me the genetic gift means nothing!Yell 

Oh wellUndecided

While all you guys were out racing, I had a pretty easy day here. Got off work this morning, went for a nice refreshing OWS in the ocean, then headed home to watch my son play a double header of baseball.

I've really been enjoying the OWS lately. The more I get out in the ocean, the more comfortable I'm becoming with the cold water. It sure is nicer than laps in the pool!
