All done my race report....I don't know how to directly link it from here...(lacking in comp skills). Its under New Balance International Sprint or something. Haha.

Came 74/207, 25/120 out of women, 12/39 age group F20-29...wooooo!! I actually had an "incident" that slowed me down...I could have been faster!!! Grrrrrr... lost quite a few places because of it!

Neal - if you're still around can you talk to me about nutrition on the bike?

kcarroll - 2010-06-21 9:25 AM

I'm no help here and suppose that telling you to eat more vegetables would fall on deaf ears.   

ironannekidd - 2010-06-21 9:26 AM

You eat vegetables while you are on your bike?

kcarroll - 2010-06-21 9:33 AM

No.  Just yanking your chain.  I am a vanilla gu girl.  For long rides where I want solid foods (my log would indicate that I have never done this, but I have done a few centuries), I like fig newtons  and pbh sandwiches.  Paydays are also good.  I'd rather have a snickers but chocolate doesn't fair well in the bento box on hot days.  What kind of info are you looking for?

X2!  Great job!

Thanks guys! Haha. Not too shabby. My age group is quite competitive here compared to AB...I guess all the young people on the island have nothing better to do than tri...In AB they must be doing other things...or they all came here like me...?

I feel hung over.....I bet I look equally fantastic...

My longest ride is 40 miles. I would like to do a few 50+ milers this summer. I'm just wondering what kind of stuff I should take and how often I should be consuming calories. I prefer gatorade or gu brew when I'm biking to water. On my 40 miler I took 2 24oz bottles of gatorade and a 20oz bottle of water. There were a few places I could have stopped and bought water if I needed more.

You look fine.

kcarroll - 2010-06-21 7:59 AM

You look like a PAM.  A tri-hottie PAM.   

ironannekidd - 2010-06-21 10:08 AM Thanks girls! I'll take some Gu's with me when I go out. If I need more I shouldn't be too far from civilization that I could reroute to a convenience store for a quick snack.

coooooffffeeeeee

ironannekidd - 2010-06-21 10:19 AM

yes, please

kcarroll - 2010-06-21 10:19 AM

I kind of like convenience store snacking.  I also like post ride snacks.  Saturday I hung out at a coffee shop and drank a latte with an egg biscuit.  At least 3 groups of bikers stopped in for coffee and food while I was there.  Good times.

Well, you know how I prefer mine but Tom has been busy lately. 

ironannekidd - 2010-06-21 10:22 AM I have an announcement Ghoulies!

I had my first ever mojito on Friday night. I enjoyed it.

ironannekidd - 2010-06-21 10:21 AM

I bet he'd drop what he was doing to deliver your coffee for you!

kcarroll - 2010-06-21 10:23 AM

I would never have taken you for a virgin.
