Champion  6656     |  Subject: RE: Fred D Mentor Group - Part IIFred D - 2012-09-03 6:54 AM Ah right...it's the IM that is in Aug. I will be in France and racing on the 23. I've heard that St. Mikes has interesting patients...haha. Although I've had a good share of "interesting" at Sunnybrook too. mndymond - 2012-09-03 8:45 AM tasr - 2012-09-03 6:15 AM Haha. If I knew where I was going to be in August next year I might sign up. If I end up getting into residency out east I would def consider it! Maybe there will be spots left come March 5 next year! Haha. That is if you don't fill up all the spots with your recruiting skills. Hahamndymond - 2012-09-03 8:12 AM Morning all. Hope you all are enjoying your long weekend! Just checking in. Im just headed home after a night shift and im ready to sleep. Im planning on getting my long run in this afternoon after a long nap. I may or may not have slept in yesterday after going out sat night and being out later than initially planned...had to party it up at least once while in the big city!  Get some rest.......On the other hand. Can I interest you in Mont-Tremblant 70.3?
The 70.3 is in June 23rd, but I think you are doing IM France, so doubt it works for you. I worked in the St. Michael's ER for a rotation.... was interesting. |

My baby is all grown up. Tom - if you were racing a shorter distance I would say to dump the empty cage. But for the HIM I'd keep it just in case you need to put an extra bottle in there. The empty cage won't cost you too much in terms of aero. Something to consider for the future is an aero bottle in this spot. Nice looking ride. Thanks Neil. I probably will drop the empty cage. Not planning to put a bottle there but haven't decided 100% just yet. I honestly just used it on long training rides. Ditched it on race day. Have a good recommendation for what to put there? One thought I had for the future is flipping the stem. Not sure what it will buy me but I wish I thought of that sooner. I'd keep the cage on there for the race too. I had a friend who had the same aero drink bottle you have completely fall apart during a race. Well, not the bottle itself but what was holding it onto his bike. His race was only an Oly so he made do without it but if something happened during something longer, it would be good to have a backup. |
I may remove the bottle cage.| 2012-09-03 7:02 PM in reply to: #4393497 |

| Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Fred D Mentor Group - Part II Fred D - 2012-09-04 7:23 PM Yeah this group has some great knowledge for sure. I tried a really interesting thing in the pool based on a tip from an ST video on YouTube. Was definitely swimming faster with it. Involved contracting the glutes and hamstrings more to bring the center of buoyancy more forward. The video is pretty goofy, but seems like a good tip. Here is the link, don't laugh too much at the goofiness.... GMTA ... I literally just posted the same vid in my mentor group. A problem with some of the popular ways to get people more horizontal in the water (and stop dragging their legs) such as head down, pressing the T, etc. is that they cause some people to jackknife more at the hips. However, telling people to arch their lower backs a little and grip a coin between their butt cheeks (not literally, but who am I to judge) almost always yields favorable results. |

They've tested well in the wind tunnel, and on a Speed Concept they test better on the seat tube than on the down tube (not sure if it makes any diference on a Felt). |

It's good enough for Chris Lieto! That's what I have on my P3 and I use it as my flat kit. I drilled new holes in the bottle holder so that it sits snug down in the bottom triangle of the frame. |

If you had the choice to race - World AG Olympic distance on the London Olympic course or - Vegas 70.3 WC
Which would you choose and why? An acquaintance may have this decision to make. |

This is my number 1 problem, and I've actually been trying to keep my legs relaxed as I was told that muscle tension makes you sink. Maybe if I actually decide to get in the pool someday, I'll give this a try. |
