Fred D and Queen Zipp's SWIM, BIKE RUN consistency thread.... CLOSED (Page 56)

Good morning all,

TGIF ! Short busy week and off today, so meeting 2 friends for an open water session at the lake then plan to do a race distance B/R brick with one of them...long run planned for tomorrow with my Ragnar Relay group and then off to a local camping trip I go with a few neighbor families...rest day on Sunday while watching the Masters, my local basketball ball team trying to make the playoffs and the start of the baseball season =)

Have a great weekend everyone ! ....hope to have some bike pics to post next week if all goes well, finally !  =)

Is today weigh in day? Took off another 1lb so I am down to 104lb! I guess that means I am about 2lbs away from my in-season goal. Hope I can hang tough since this is my birthday month and the celebrations continue with two dinners this weekend.

Weather here is still miserable, but I managed a short run in 34F and sleet.  

For all of you in warm weather climates, enjoy all the weekend has to offer!

tomorrow my running group puts on an unofficial HM. It is called the Left Behind, Left Over HM and was first started for those in the group who weren't going to Boston ( thus the left behind) and at the end of the run we can pick up shirts and awards left over from the various races the LRS puts on during the year. I don't know why people want an award that they didn't earn, but they do! I do like getting the shirts though, saves me from buying new ones to run in.

How come?

Makes sense.  I used to wear SIDI road shoes, but they starting giving me hotspots in really long rides.  Went to Northwave Tri shoes and they run a heck of a lot bigger/wider in the same size 37 shoe so no hot spots.  I have yet to learn the whole "keep your shoes on the pedals" concept, but I am sure they would help there too with only one velcro strap instead of 3.

here's the pre race costume pic

It won't take....what is it that the size works fine in the RR but it's too big for the thread?   

Nice race report and picture.  Good job under the circumstances!

Hey Judi, nice race and fun costume. It's great that you could race since you were having trouble with your ankle the last couple of days.

I use Specialized Tri Vent shoes, but I don't do anything fancy like leaving them clipped on the bike, or taking my feet out before I dismount. My feet are wide so my shoes are good and snug. I use speedplay pedals because I like the 2 sided entry.

I've lost 9 pounds down to 191, and it's definitely helped my running. I want to get down to 185 for race season. Anything below that and I feel a little too thin, and my wife definitely thinks I'm too skinny.

This is what we've got so far.  I've left everyone in, so if you have weights or goals to add, just jump in...

It's interesting updating from the previous table.  Comparing current weights and goals to previous goals, it looks like we're all doing well so far.  Keep up the good work!

I was a new addition this month.  Starting weight: 106, Today's Weight: 103.2.
