Fred D Mentor Group Part III (Page 58)

That's terrific, Fred. Congrats to your daughter.

I have what should be a simple question for the wrenches.

My P3 has a bad habit of dropping the chain when I shift from the big ring to the small ring.  If I'm careful about it and push the shifter forward slowly it generally doesn't do it but a quick throw when on a steepish hill will do it if I'm not paying attention.  What's the easiest way to adjust this?

It is funny, I do not change time but everyone else changing time drastically affects me.  My main customer is in Oregon so I get an extra hour in the morning if I need it.  Great for those 8AM meetings.  Sucks for the 4PM meetings though.  And my other customer is in the Eastern time zone and so 2 hours is better then 3 in time separation.  Not very fond of their early morning meetings let me tell you... 

Have you checked your delimeter screws?

Well I had the stomach flu yesterday so that helped tip the scales down 3 pounds.  I have not eaten anything for 1.5 days.  I was really miserable yesterday and feeling better today but will probably hold off on workouts until tomorrow morning.

I am around 168-169 (pre-sickness) and would like to get down to 158-160 by March so I am in for the challenge.

That is pretty impressive by Starky to bike 4:04 and hold on for the win still running 3:06.  That dude can bike!

I went to the provincial triathlon federation awards ceremony last night. A few things

They held an auction for Tremblant 70.3 and IMMT spots, both events are sold out. They got $1000 for the 70.3 and $1400 for the full. People were going nuts on the 70.3 $1000? That is nuts.

There was a 10 minute presentation by 3 members, relatively well known, that were hit by cars this summer. All 3 in full braces with 6+ months of rehabilitation, unable to work.....Very disturbing. between the 3 of them I don't think there was a bone not broken.

My outdoor season is over. I have only been on the trainer for the last 2 weeks. I rode the first 1h15 of IMMT this morning on the computrainer. It was tough.

Hi Jason, I am curious.

While I don't equate diet soda with healthy eating habits, I don't associate it to weight gain/loss either.  Do you ?

Curious on the diet soda thing too.  I did read something awhile back about it triggering something in the brain, but I just wanted to stop drinking it because of the chemicals.  I go to seltzer. 

Fred, that great.  My girls aren't old enough yet, but I can only imagine.  My 4 year old has had a few swim lessons, karate lessons, gymnastics, dance...Love watching her, but she's not competing in anything.  It's just fun to watch.

On another note, I bundled up and got a nice outdoor ride in that felt good.  Had the winter gear on and it was actually enjoyable.  Good news is after breakfast and my ride I only weighed 186, so I think I'll change my goal to 182 since I lost 5lbs of bloat overnight.

Wel I guess I am only one stomach flu away from goal weight< LOL!

J/K I hope you are feeling better...that's no way to spend the weekend!

SWEET! Swim training takes some real discipline and gutting out a good race time SEEMS like it's over quickly but that's a minute and half of hell, what a great gal.

Awesome Andrew--really nice for him to do well after his debacle in Abu Dhabi.

No, I don't know what to check!    I know what they are but what should I look for?  Or is it a trial and error type of thing?

While everyone talks about the Lac Superieur section of IMMT, the rest of the course is no walk in the park either!  The Montee Ryan section has some tough hills and the Conception hill is a real grinder too!  

and you are right, $1000 for the 70.3 is nuts!
