Yanti & Salty MAD MANATEES Part 2 -- Full Pod (Page 65)

Nice one Kirsten. Lovely, selfless thing to volunteer so that others can benefit.

My money is with Jo's though. Guess i'll be tuning into the ironman channel for IM Canada in 2013.

In honor of signing up for a tri, I swam last night.  Only 500m (that is the length of the swim at the tri) but I didn't drown and actually PR'd my time.  Of course it was in a pool so that time is insignificant but I didn't have to be pulled off the bottom so that is a good thing. 

I have to add that I had intentions of biking but it was 98 degrees at 7pm so I chose not to make myself sick and never want to bike again.  I tend to do that.  I don't bike and then my 1st trainer ride I'll go 3 hours and feel so  sick after that I don't ever want to bike again.  I didn't want that sick feeling my 1st time back on the bike so I will bike tonight.  It is in my car and I am meeting some peeps for a shady, hilly ride tonight.

My rant of the day:  I took my dog's in for their yearly check ups and shots. $408 for 2 dogs!!!! Nothing special just routine shots.  I didn't even allow blood work.  Seriously, frickin' expensive.  No wonder people don't take their animals to the vets for well checks. 

Yes, and I am hoping I do not do something crazy and sign up for 2013...

Wussed out......relationship too complicated right now anyhow (training's great for coping by the way).  I do have a follow up in 4 weeks however

Sooooo ... (hoping Salty and Janyne and others don't see this 'cause it's in small print, because they will spank me)

It's Bali Triathlon weekend and the three days of festivities start early tomorrow morning!

Of COURSE I'm doing it. However, I'm doing the Sprint course and the whole thing (except the swim ... maybe) will be done at walk-through pace. It's my intro back into training so it needs to be fun and light.

Woo hoo!  That should be fun!  I've heard only positive things about the race organizers.  I mean, even when things go wrong, they seem to go out of the way to make things right for the pariticpants.

Are you going to get in line for 2013 registration?

Just had a nice ride in the beautiful weather we got for the first day of summer.  Just 20km, but a couple good hills in there.  Practiced getting my rear wheel off and on when I got home.  Figured out the trick to make it easy--lay the chain on the smallest cog and it just falls right into the dropouts.  Just have to remember that...

How's the bike fit?

What could possibly go wrong?

I'm considering it a mental health weekend and a "fun tour" of my neighborhood (where the Bali Tri is held).

Pretty good.  Feet no longer go numb.  Left leg feels more correct.  Only issue I am having is burning/soreness between shoulder blades--not sure if because of fit or because my bars are too wide.  Thoughts?

You have a road bike, right?  With aero bars or not?  And the soreness is when your hands are on the hoods or ???

How's your head position when riding?

Yes, road, no aero bars.  Soreness when hands are on hoods or drops.

It could be one of several things:

- Are you riding with light hands or with your hands heavy on the bars?  Try riding with little weight on the bars, using the bars for steering rather than support.  Think about using your core to keep yourself upright.

- Acclimation -- just getting the miles in.  You know -- T.I.T.S. 

- It could still be a fit issue but I think that I'd get a few more miles in before heading back.  (depending on the level of discomfort.  I am assuming that this is more of an aching than an ouch ouch ouch outright pain)

Oh, Yanti, you are trouble.
