 23 |  Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official ThreadHad an IT band issue about two years ago. Use a hard foam roller down the outside of your leg from your knee up to your hip. Use 20 min twice a day at minimum. The first week I had tears in my eyes from the pain but I eventually stretched the IT band out and broke up the scar tissue. Never had a problem since. In order for this to heal you MUST break up the scar tissue...and it WILL HURT! Good luck! |

My IT pain was bad and started just after Aspen marathon this summer. After 7-10 days of foam rolling I was pain free. I would roll after any short runs and at night before bed. |

Regular 165  | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Thank goodness for a light call week. Even though it was a recovery week, hit all workouts and this week is starting out good too. 4000 swim tonight in 1:10. One more of those long swims before the big day. Thats good, cuz it is boring. Hard to sustain food form all the way through. Funny thoughts go through my head like what will this feel like in the ocean with swells? How will this feel like with a black eye, no goggles and no teeth (from getting hammered at start)? The in-laws are coming in town tomorrow, so one more thing to juggle this last big week. Sorry to hear about a couple folks with injuries. Hopefully you'll get through it. |

Extreme Veteran 1986   Cypress, TX | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread KathyG - 2011-10-17 8:01 PM I ordered new race tires tonight. They should improve my rolling resistance compared to my tires from last year.
Be sure to go with latex tubes as well. |

Expert 663 Williamsburg, VA | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Took my bike in for a good tune up before the race and found out that I despite needed a new chain and possibly a new cassette. So glad I didn't put that off. Sure would of hated to have the chain break in the race. Put new tires on last week and finally got my seat issues figures out then too. Went with the Adamo TT aNd has truly made a huge difference. |

| Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Did my long ride last weekend with the outfit I plan on wearing and the wheel/tire setup I'm planning on. The front brake has been sticky and not opening up fully so I had them look at it during the ride (BTW, one of the definite positives of doing supported rides is tech support on the course) and they changed my cable out. Ended up I had a kink in the cable. That's not good. Kinky brakes are not recommended  The outfit was comfortable for the whole day, ride up and century. That'll work! |

The outfit was comfortable for the whole day, ride up and century. That'll work! Yep, same here. Wore my tri shorts for the second time on a long ride. I will wear them for the bike and maybe the run, depends on how I feel after the bike. But, they are the most comfortable shots I have. Talking to my coach and she recommended wearing my jammers under my wetsuit for the swim then changing into my tri shorts in T1. She said I probably don't want to ride in shorts that have just been in salt water. Another 60 seconds won't be a big deal in my day Taking my bike in this week for a last tune up. It always comes back looking new so it is worth taking it in. Already put new tires and tubes in 2 weeks ago. enjoy, Duane Edited by Duanerice 2011-10-18 8:17 AM |

It did a nice job for me to get salt off. |
