I'm looking at $400 without HR strap. Art's cyclery (online) has it for $400, then you apply the "save20" discount code to get it down to $320. Garmin is also offering a $50 rebate for students for purchases on the 910xt or FR610 until Nov 15th. Copy of reciept, cutout of UPC, and form must be mailed by Nov 30th. http://garmin.blogs.com/files/garmincoach_rebate.pdf To qualify, you just need a photo copy of a student ID. I'm using the student ID of a coworkers kid. I admit it's not the most ethical thing to do...but sigh...I have my faults. Art's Cyclery offers free shipping to the US, but excludes Hawaii, so I have to pay $27 for shipping. So 320+27-50 is $297. Not sure how they do shipping to Canada.
Great deal Free shipping to Canada 20% expires today Wow, it's great to be paying multiple thousands of dollars a year to have kids in University so I can get a $50 discount on a garmin So I got it for $399 - 20% - $50....all legit Anyone want to rent a kid ? I have 3
Thanks Jason !!!! Edited by marcag 2012-10-31 6:46 PM |

Champion 7595   Columbia, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Fred D Mentor Group Part III Fred - glad that there's nothing serious (at least from blood work) going on. You know better than I, but I'd guess that you probably just need some R&R. I've also had a lot of work stress lately, and it does take its toll. I'm planning to disappear this weekend in search of a break from work stress. (Of those at work, only my secretary will know where I am, and she has enough sense not to call unless it really matters.) Great track workout for me today, though. A real stress-reliever. |

The amount of cycling Tyler and others were doing would push their natural hematocrit into the low 40s. THAT is why they took EPO, to bring back up their counts despite their extreme training. This is actually the reason to take testosterone as well as huge training loads will drop our natural levels. So in essence the dopers take their stuff to allow faster recovery and allow high level training without suppressing normal blood counts etc. Interesting. I guess I wasn't training hard enough last year...LOL. |

Bike numbers include some time on the trainer with no distance included. Run is up from the previous month so that's good, just need to keep building on it. Did well with the 6x's a week. So well that I have new sneakers on order. Knees are feeling it lately. Let's just call the strength training swimming given that I have no pool access. lol

| Champion 7595 Columbia, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Fred D Mentor Group Part III Real tri training kicks back in for me today. Meanwhile, here's what I've been doing:
I closed out the month yesterday by doing 4x1200, which really kicked me in the rear. Somehow I'm supposed to run 12 miles today. I'm really focused on sticking to the plan (I never really have in the past). | |

I do need to somehow fit 3 more hours per week though that would be 3x swims if possible. No power still from storm. Town was hit pretty hard. Lot of flooding with the surge. Water was well over the roads around me by a few feet. No damage though to my house so happy about that. Trees down everywhere too. Had to break out a chainsaw to make a few cuts to allow some people to flee the shoreline in my street as they waited til last second to get out. They were lucky I was there and able to help. There's only two ways out and both had multiple trees down across the road. I'm about a mile from the water and all their houses were damaged if 10ft or below sea level. I'm about 30ft.

Really happy with the running, semi happy with the swimming, and while I wish I biked more...I surprisingly didn't miss it that much. | ||
