mbasta - 2010-10-08 9:19 PM I rode my beast all summer on flat tires to boot. When I got to my tri in Sept my friend noticed I had flat tires so I took them to a volunteer for filling and it took about 20 pumps per tire to get them to the right pressure.
That's seriously HARDCORE


You are my hero.


Before I found the volunteer with a MTB pump I asked to borrow a pump from someone with a road bike and that's when I learned that they have different pump connectors... Is there a swim, bike, run for dummies somewhere? I've been learning the ins and outs of a good training plan but am missing a lot of other information.


I found this out at midnight, in the rain, when I was sick, and had a job to go to (that I needed to get to on the bike).

Hmmm ... lemme see if I can dig up a free primer for you composed of the better newbie articles on BT. There are some really good intro triathlon books, too, but damned if I know whether a one of them mentions the difference between Presta and whatever-the-road valves are.

Joe Friel's Triathlon Training Bible is a good start....lots of other good basic tri books out there


I have that book and read it 2 weeks ago. That's how I created my annual training plan. Great read!

I mean I need help with silly little things like not asking triathletes with real bikes to lend me their pumps. The look on her face was priceless.

That's what they're for. Willingness to look stupid will take you very far in this sport, possibly farther than anything else. It's worked for me so far

That would be awsome if you get the chance. I plan on subscribing once I'm making income and catch up on my school debt. Starting to wish I didn't do the internship in China because that's a big chunk of the debt...

Yes! About 10 pages ago Bill Ghoulie reminded me that the real challenge is in the excel sheet. That sounds like a posting white flag to me!

I don't know what brands you have there, but my cat wash "furminator" smells amazing! My husband asked me if I used human shampoo on her she smelled so nice. I thought of trying her stuff...

Pet shampoos, not much. Some stuff from Australia.

Generally I use Johnson's Baby all-over wash for the dog (and will for teh cats, when I get around to it) so I can just sling it aruond and not worry if i get it in her eyes or if everything's not perfectly rinsed.

Heck, half teh time I use it for myself
