I wear my shoes for 500 miles these days. Still running in my pair from last September's HIM. Rotated in a fresh pair 2 weeks ago. Tried Saucony Mirages for a hot minute and they felt like crap so went back to my Ghosts.

It was in the 40s for the start of IMFL in 2011. I wore arm warmers, gloves, socks and to covers on the shoes.

Just pack them in your T1 bag and see how you feel when you come out of the swim. Just remember you're not going to get anything back that you drop of put in your special needs bags.

That sucks. 

 

Hill repeats on the treadmill this morning.  Tabatas on the trainer later.  Cindy's having a GNO tonight so it's early to bed for the girls so I can get that trainer ride in.

Are you going to pack any of those things for MT?

3 days post IMLP: I'm really surprised at how good I feel physically. Mentally, I'm still on a bit of a roller coaster. At times I feel a bit lost now; I didn't sign up for IMLP2014, but have decided to go back and volunteer, then try again in 2015.

I have a question about hydration: if you run across a dietitian, would you ask them a question on hydration for me? I drank a lot of Perform during the bike and still ended up dehydrated (I estimate between 15 and 20 bottles in 11:43:00). I was bloated and couldn't get any more down if I wanted too, but never had to pee. I hurt like hell until 1am, when the water started to get back in my system. Once I was rehydrated, I was totally fine and know in my heart that I could have done better if I was more hydrated after lap 1 of the bike. I can't tell if it was the Perform itself, salt, lack of pure water, calories, I just fumbled the hydration part. If I learn anything, I'll share it with you.

I want to share more on the experience in another post.

Thank you.
Todd

Originally posted by everlongAll three of my halfs I had that cannot drink another sip yet I was different degrees of dehydreated. I haven't had 15-20 bottles of anything in a lot of years and when I had those I certainly wasn't running anywhere but the bathroom. Your post makes me think if at a certain point we stop assimilating the liquids and sweat them right out and what can be done to help with that. Open house on Sunday which was the first anybody had viewed the house and we got two offers right off the bat and took the better of the two. The next day their financing fell through and we left a message for the second family who haven't gotten back to us. So we went from joy to dispair pretty fast. Keeping a house showing clean with a house full of kids is exhausting. Any way the listing is below if anybody is curious or even better sell it for us! http://www.trulia.com/property/3126111387-21-Medford-St-Marshfield-MA-02050

Looks like a nice place! One of my college roommates was from Norwell, right next door, so I have good associations with that area. With two offers that quickly, I'll bet you get something else right away. Good luck with it!

Nice looking place dude.  I am not looking forward to the day we decide to list our house. 

 

Generally there are 2 reasons your stomach shuts down.  One is heat stress and the other is intensity stress.  My guess in LP it would be the latter.  I know for me at IMTX it was heat stress.  My HR was 147 and I still felt like drinking/eating was a painful proposition.

I agree. If you got 2 offers that quickly, more will follow. I hope it's quick for you. Like I said before, BTDT last spring/summer and it's a total PITA showing a house with kids running around. Most stressful time of my life (that and the move).

The stress is brutal. I really don't want to carry two mortgages for any period of time.

Don't do it if it isn't absolutely necessary. We carried 2 mortgages for 9 months. We run over budget every month now. It will take us at least 3 years to recover from it financially, and it means we can't put anything (nothing at all) into our new house for a long time.
