Master 1632     Almost Canada, WA | Subject: RE: T.W.I.S.T.E.R. - March Winds Challenge wgraves7582 - 2010-03-23 2:25 AM I think I am going to replace the disc brake units also - they are pretty corroded. Anyone have a suggestion for cleaning them up and just replacing the pads - or should I do a full replacement - it has been 3 hard winters on them in the snow/ice/salt conditions - plus a lot of mud in the summer. I'd love to offer up some helpful knowledge but I am sooooo NOT a bike guru. I'm thinking I seriously need to learn to do more myself. I think I'm more along the lines of (was it Tim's??) wife who just had to do a complete overhaul of her bike? I still take mine to the LBS for most things outside general cleanings! Sad, I know!! *hangs head in shame* |

If you want to see more check out www.renovo.com[/QUOTE] Is it invisible?  That's what makes it so cool. Its like Wonder Woman's invisible plane. I'm thinking that is the lightest bike ever!! |

How is your son doing? He's doing much better. We got his latest blood tests back last night and all levels are back to normal. He was given the ok to exercise again but he has to take it easy. I think I'll make sure he is supervised so he doesn't over do it again. That is great news, Paul!!!!  |

| Master 1632 Almost Canada, WA | Subject: RE: T.W.I.S.T.E.R. - March Winds Challenge tri808 - 2010-03-23 7:53 AM I was already thinking about it yesterday, but after feeling my body today, I think I'm going to cut back my race schedule. I'm taking out a Sprint tri next month...since my real focus is an Olympic in May...and I'm taking out a half marathon in June...since I probably won't be near top shape for that either. Needless to say, I still have 12 more races left this year. I haven't looked at your race schedule but there's the Val Nolasco 1/2 mary in November and it's a lot of fun. Plus, the course is the same (or part of) the full mary course!! Are you planning on doing either? |

It didn't feel good, but it didn't feel bad either. I must be getting over this sinus thing. Good deal - anytime the treadmill does not feel bad is a good day - I despise treadmills I'm not a big fan of treadmills either. I'm trying to embrace the fact that I need to utilize them a bit more often. To do this, I run with a plan. When I run on one, I pick a target heartrate. If it strays from the target by plus or minus two beats, then I adjust the speed accordingly. I run for time so I don't get caught up in how fast or slow I'm going. It seems to work. It keeps my brain engaged. That is a great idea - I read a book one time and the guy would just pick something out in front of the treadmill and focus on that for the entire time. So if the sun is down at the Y I do a light fixture reflecting in the window and just try and focus on that so I don't pay attention to how far or how long I have to go! That is what the outdoors is for That is why I always like to use the one with a mirror in front of it. People prolly think I'm totally vain, staring at myself the whole time, but it somehow helps with the time and with form! |

I couldn't do the first 2 because of an injury. I don't plan to run at race pace for all 5, just more of a training run that allows me to get aid station practice. |

Needless to say, I still have 12 more races left this year. Very ambitious. I hope its a good year for you. I'm hoping so too. I'm chalking up this year's overall goal to "gain experience"...meaning to race as much as I can safely...which also means I only go all out in a couple select races. The rest of them are just to gain experience in race formats and to simply have fun. I also like meeting new people at races. 2011 will be much more focused for me...just targeting a handful of races with more emphasis. |
