SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING (Page 54)

what is 100 x100 ? Is it swiming 100 x 100 meters? or aomething else?

Can't leave me out.  Sign me up too.  Never going to be the olympic gymnast that I dreamed about, so might as well do the Master's thing. 

Oh, and the Alps!!  Hubby proposed to me while we were hiking in the Alps.  Just beautiful. 

My bucket list:

Ironman (Just the distance, no specific place)
Olympics (never considered Master's--oh, this needs some investigation)
Travel:  Australia, More of Europe, South America, Africa
Stay healthy and live longer than my female ancestors (this won't take much longer!!)
Get my kids to move to really cool places so I can go visit them often

No racing for me this weekend.  Pinewood Derby, Wrestling, Team awards Dinner and trying to squeeze in a few hours of riding.

Sports related bucket lists.

• I want to win a bike race.
• Race Nationals/Worlds for Cross

Non-Sports Related

• Go to super bowl, World Series, NCAA finals.
• Visit Japan, Germany, Spain
• Figure out somehow to do all the things I want to do and still have time to eat, sleep, have time with family. 

I am riding in an 8 person Team Time Trial on a CT this weekend.  We are going to be one of 24 teams all riding at the same time.  Should be as much fun as 30 minutes in the hurt locker can be but I plan on using it as FT test also.  As Tony's video showed, "Whats your threshold?"  is a question that must be able to be answered by any cyclist.  

Sports Bucket List: 

• Win a bike race. 
• Compete in Cyclocross Nationals (In Madison again next year.....hmmmmm   )
• Compete in an IM distance race in the next 5 years.  (no, that is not a typo)
• Escape from Alcatraz Tri
• Triple-T Ohio

Current Life Bucket List (this always seems to be changing a little): 

• Enjoy my kids graduation from High School.  (so far, so good!)
• See my kids graduate from College.  
• Walk both my girls up the Aisle. 
• Figure out how to be a happy and engaged Empty Nester. 
• Drink a few more beers with the members of this MG
• Spent my last $.01 on the pine box they bury or burn me in. 

As in Jameson?

Nice work Sam!

Here's a different sh*t triathletes say video - pretty good:

I love these. 

Can we make one... sh*t Fatty says???

(Hit it! I'd hit it! Boobs! Beer! Hit it! Family! Beer! Kids! Hit it some more!)

Wimped out of the ocean swim today, weather was terrible BUT found my other Sufferfest video (brutal 8 min hard climbing intervals) so nearly fell off the bike trainer again!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! That one has me in tears from laughing.  Good thing I'm alone here at work.

Can you guys help me figure this out?  I went to get on the bike this morning and noticed my rear wheel was flat.  (Ahhh... now I realize why the sudden change in tension 2 minutes from the end of my ride on Sat.)  I tried using my new mini-pump (same as kyla's) with no response so I ended up changing the tube.  ok, fine.  Afterwards, I grabbed the old tube and it now appeared to be ok.  It had air and with a quick inspection (bc I was running late) it didn't appear to have a hole.  Is that possible?  This was at 4:45 am (pre-coffee) and again first time using the mini-pump so its possible I didn't have a good  fit bw the valve and the pump.

Also, any tricks to minimize the amount of flats I get on the trainer?  How do you set your tension?  Been searching the boards and it looks like I might need rim tape (don't remember seeing any).  Is this something I can do, or should I have someone else do it/teach me?

Your valve may have not been sealed well and that is why you lost air. Rim tape is easy to apply and you can do it yourself. Tension, I got nothing. I use a CT and that is different.

What is funny is, from the side shot of the guy on the bike, his position is not great. His arms should be closer to 90 degrees. And yes I have said some of that, especially the weight ones.

Awesome Idea..... who has the technology to do this?  

"Power meter?  Ha!" , "I love Wikipedia!"  "EN sucks" (Changed my mind on that one!)

Flats on the trainer?  I know that lots of trainer riding can make the tire warped and maybe that is leading to your flats.   If you can, pick up a spare back wheel that you dedicate towards trainer riding.  That way you'll only wear the trainer pattern on that tire and save your road tires. 

Huh?  Riding the trainer lots might wear the tire to a flattened edge over the center tension area, but warp a tire?  Can you warp a tire?  It certainly will not do anything to a rim.    

Me confused.........

That would be awesome!!!!! 

You said what I was trying to say but much clearer.  So to edit my originial post......."Riding the trainer lots might insert Dino's description - he said it much better."
