Veteran  369   Fairbanks |  Subject: RE: June Bugssurfnturf - 2009-06-30 2:29 PM KrisSeer - 2009-06-30 6:14 PM I just started commuting (home) a few times a week - it is only 10 miles but I LOVE it. I can't commute TO work b/c I don't have shower facilities and I am a big-time "sweat monster".surfnturf - 2009-06-30 1:50 PM KrisSeer - 2009-06-30 12:17 PM I had another run yesterday, and I'm attempting my first bike ride tomorrow, in preparation for next month's TdF challenge. Good luck and don't do too much the first ride!!Thanks! I'm looking forward to it; I'm going to ride to work tomorrow morning. It's kind of hilly, but only about 4.5 miles - and the hills on the way TO work are mostly down  .We're actually considering moving soon, so I'm trying to decide if riding to work will still be feasible after that. We've already picked out a location. The good news is that the ride would be completely flat, both ways, but the bad news is it's approximately 20 miles... I'd have a few months to build up to that, so we'll see how it goes. A lot of businesses here (mine included) have showers because there are many people who live in dry cabins. Having a shower at work is awesome. My primary concern about commuting that far is how much earlier I'd have to get up to make it to work on time. It might work better to only bike home, because then I'd have fewer time constraints. Do you drive your car to work and then leave it there when you bike home? Or do you have somebody drop you off? |

We only have one car and hubby works from home so it is easier to have him drop me off with my bike and then he can get the kids to camp or run errands and go home. Then, I bike home without them having to come back and get me. It's working out once or twice a week. Otherwise, I taxi the kids around and try to get work done in between which is a little exhausting. |

I need to order some things but there's nowhere in town that's going to have them, so I'm turning to the internet. Never answered this. I don't know of any online sites but I bet a lot of June Bugs (or others) do. We have an awesome running store and I get most of my stuff from them. |

Expert 908 Niskayuna, New York | Subject: RE: June Bugs so my run was extremely wet because like a bum I slept in rather than doing in the morning, so I got to finish up my goal in the pouring rain! Moral of the story: don't skip morning workouts! |

I need to order some things but there's nowhere in town that's going to have them, so I'm turning to the internet. i like performancebike.com for biking stuff, but have started using trisports.com recently. We as BT members get a 10% discount from trisports (more if you are a premium member I think). The bonus code is BT-W |

My favorite is www.trisports.com I've bought tri-suits, gels, sportwash, and my garmin from them. Embarrassed to say that last year I got a Christmas card from them. |

Don't know of any as I have never had to use it. Sorry I'm not more help!The brand I use is called "BodyGlide." I use it on long runs in the tender "chafing spots" and also on ankles/arm/shoulders before putting my wetsuit on. You can usually find it in most running stores. |

I didn't know we got a 10% discount. What hole have I been living in? Jeeeezzz. Wonder if they'd make it retroctive.  BTW, they have a 15% off sale going on right now to launch their new website design. |

I learned I need to do a better job of stretching my hamstrings :-D :-( I learned I need to be more attentive to how my feet strike the ground: need to stay off my heels! |
