Originally posted by glfprncs Assioma pedals arrived today. Got them charged, activated, calibrated & ready to go. Coach changed my schedule this week so I could enjoy an FTP test on Friday. Good times ahead! What data fields do those occupy who train with power use? Right now I have time, 3 second power, cadence, distance & speed avg per lap

Thanks! I had a good race. I planned on running the HM, but since I’ve been dealing with patella tendinitis for 3 ish weeks I dropped down to the 5k. The good news is I had no issue with my knee - even during all the hiking and hilly running we did pre and post race. The bad news is, I definitely lost some run fitness in 3 weeks. The other good news is I won my age group. Small races are great!

 

Hope Dave and Jen had fun races too!

Originally posted by TXTriRook I just signed up for my 1st race of the season! It's at the end of the month and I did it 3 yrs ago in 2:42. I'm hoping I can beat that now that I'm older and wiser. Feels good to have something to look forward to so figure I share with the rest of you who I'm sure can relate.

I got a nice surprise this morning.  Some of you may remember me posting last year about a guy in my tri community who was hit while riding and was initially in pretty bad shape.  I saw him this morning at the pool.  He is doing really well.  Had a surgery on his ankle about 8 weeks ago, so hobbling a bit there, but had a goal of swimming 30 min this morning and did it.  It was so great to see him and chat a bit in the hot tub.

Hey all.  Been away a while and mostly an occasional stalk and following podsters on FB and Strava and such...  

Been just running the last few months (noticed I went to 100% run on TP "90 day completed" pie chart this morning - an eye opener!).  Been having fun, though - running and light weights agree with me, but I'm starting to miss the saddle/pool.  Super busy at work, so I might just keep with this plan for a bit, as I tend to go a bit deep when I get into tri mode and need to focus for the next 6 months or so...

One big change for the McManus clan on the horizon - our oldest will be heading off to college end of the summer, and he'll be 1453nm away, as the crow (or his dad) flies!  That's a haul, and we're all trying to wrap our heads around what it'll be like with just the four of us and the dogs at home.  I suspect it'll mean a new puppy to help fill the quiet spots in. 

Anywho, just wanted to say hey back on BT to those who I don't see on FB/Strava/Insta/Snap/etc...  So, HEY!

Matt

Hey Matt! That is a big family change! Glad to see you're not at all worried about him being far from home and or missing him A puppy to replace a boy seems reasonable to me!

Originally posted by fortissimo So a week ago today my husband was walking out of his classroom with his phone in at his ear while I was about to walk into my room. The look on his face was the look something bad happened. His brother was on the phone to let us know that his son had been killed in a plane crash at Embry-Riddle. Zach was on his final test flight before graduation next month. Shortly after take-off, one of the wings of the plane fell off and the plane crashed, killing Zach and the FAA examiner on board instantly. To give us another punch in the stomach, our 11-year-old Golden, Jack, was at the vet getting his teeth cleaned. About an hour or so of finding out about Zach, the vet called to tell us Jack has cancer. It's a Mast cell cancer, not osteosarcoma like Dug has. DH takes Jack to the oncologist on Monday to find out what we can do for Jack. He is in no pain that we can tell, but he is the most hyper 11 year-old puppy in the world so it's hard to see what he really feels. The past week has been very chaotic. We're actually all doing better because we know Zach was doing what he loved. We were told that when the wing fell off the G forces probably caused the two to become unconscious immediately so they have no idea what happened. I feel so bad for the FAA examiner's family - he leaves a wife with two young boys under the age of 4. I also worry about my brother-in-law, Zach's father. He is still planning on doing IM Boulder in June. However, even before the accident his training has been interrupted by travel for work and illness. I hope he can race, because that's what Zach would have wanted, but we don't want him to race for the wrong reasons, if that makes sense. Thank you to all who have reached out the past week. I feel your thoughts, prayers, and strength. It means a lot.
