TANgents welcome (#36) (Page 59)

You are my hero.

You could try pizza with some kind of salty, meaty topping. Pretzels are good for just plain salt intake.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's a bit hot for soup.

I REALLY want a burrito...

Ahhh.. that's better 

I did have some more breakfast type food later on in the morning, but I just wanted to get the craving out of the way.  Pizza sounds good, I have  a nice recipe for homemade pizza, I need to get some yeast, but I think I have everything else.  MMM, pizza. 

chips and salsa have netoriously known to changed from an afterwork snack to full blown dinner on many an occasion. That, and pistachios.... I sit down intending to have a handfull before dinner, then a pound later - I'm stuffed...

Ahhh.. that's better

Ahhh.. that's better 

BAD

Even changes for the better are changes, and your body will need time to adapt. I would ride on the existing setup.

However, how long is the race? If it's a sprint, you may be fine if not just a little sore from the new set up.

Just my 0.02

Fair enough. Guess I'll do it another time.

The race is a Sprint with a 13mi bike course. I'm not having major problems right now, this is just the one trip I'm planning on taking to Chicago this year with the bike, and as such, one of the few times I can go somewhere and have an actual bike fitting done. I want someone to do it who is using measurements and formulas instead of what I've seen people do out here (in Davenport) which is, "yeah, that looks about right, now you could probably move that X cm and still come out about right."

You know, if I hadn't spent the money for the Race for the Arts 5K, Cowtown Half and Napa Marathon next year, I'd probably quit racing - even for 'fun' - now.

I'm just really turned off by all competition at the moment - at least the athletic variety. Dunno why. 

Sprint...I thought about you this weekend after my tri.

1.  I will do race report sometime soon.  Work was CRAZY today.  But...I thought about you training some with that chickie and I did that with my friend who was going to do her first tri...but then she didn't and I had SEVERELY undertrained and boy...did it cost me.  Bad idea.  

2.  I haven't ridden my actual bike much.  The tri shorts I wore are shorter than my actual bike shorts.  I have bike bag under my seat and it rubbed my upper leg RAW during the ride.  Kills.  

3.  I'll HTFU now.  =) 

Wait, you going to Chicago this week? I thought you weren't going to go until after you tris?

True. I just don't know what I want out of life right now. I don't mind running to FINISH something... my attitude is slowly shifting that its more important to enjoy the experience than to beat some goal that really means nothing in the context of the universe.
