| Subject: RE: SBR "U" Much more range of movement in my elbow and knee as the swelling has gone down. Scrapes on my palms no longer bother me while gripping things, so I'm pretty much good to go now. But likely still wait till at least Thursday when my doctor is scheduled to look at the stitches just to make sure.

Pro 4675 Wisconsin near the Twin Cities metro | Subject: RE: SBR "U" Great news Jason. On another note, I'm about to do a trainer workout and totally forgot that I left my bike in the garage overnight. It got down to minus 17 here last night so I wonder if my PT is going to have enough time to warm up and give accurate power readings. On yet another note...I gave up my lingering hopes of a reprieve on the home front about IMMT registration and gave in and just registered for CDA. Never felt that under-whelmed for signing up for an event before. And now the clock is ticking.... |

| Subject: RE: SBR "U" Originally posted by BrotherTri See being young does have it privileges. I would still be in the ER....... Glad to here Jason now go climb Tantalus....... Yup...I was supposed to do another one of the training series this past Sunday, but won't miss it this Sunday. Arend...no gloves. I always wear gloves for training for this exact reason, but I don't have enough pairs for commuting...I may change that...or at least get a couple more pairs that I can wash every few days. I usually get rather sweaty palms, so more than one use between washes is kind of nasty. This was actually my very first trip to the ER since I was maybe 6 years old. Right after I crashed, I dragged my bike to the side and was just trying to gather myself. I knew nothing was broken and that I had a pretty bad cut, but had no idea how bad it was until the fireman arrived and cut open my sleeve (luckily I was wearing a long sleeve that day). Until that moment, I was of the mind that I would just get my to work where there is plenty of first aid, and I would just tough it out. Then it was like an "oh $h!t" where I realized I do need to go to the hospital. |

Welcome back Rusty. ha-ha, yesterday was my first day back at work and in meetings all day. Perfect timing as my email blew up with SBRU emails all day! On your question of running in cold temperature I track my running efficiency (kind of unscientific) but basically my pace/hr relationship. What I see is as I am training consistently, my efficiency improves. Very clear in my my numbers Right now, I am in the middle of a pretty good running streak. Yesterday morning I ran and it was -26F. I only wore a cap and actually froze one ear. Very painful night last night as I would turn my head on the frost bitten ear and wake up in pain. Anyways.... I recorded one of the best "running economies" during the run. Maybe my heart was just frozen as well. But for me, running in the cold, even at extremes is better than in heat. |

I had dinner with Fred this past weekend. His daughters had a swim meet at a school close to us. He is doing good. We did not talk about BT at all. A little about power and tri's but mainly just had fun. |

Master 2912 ...at home in The ATL | Subject: RE: SBR "U" Originally posted by fisherman76Anyone have a good tip for not having a runny nose the day after a long pool session? I can't seem to get enough chlorine off me to not trigger an allergic reaction, no matter what I do. I've tried nose plugs, but it doesn't seem to be an issue of not getting pool water up my nose, it's an issue getting the stuff off of me. Dave, according to both the dermatologist and ENT technically it is not an allergy - it is a "sensitivity." I get a little itchiness sometimes depending on the pool (some are worse than others) and I haven't found any product that works better than another for washing off - just the better I wash the better it is. Aittle lotion does seem to help me afterward. For the sneezing/runny nose/congestion, I have tried all sorts of things from nose plugs, irrigation before and after, natural remedies, etc. nothing worked for me, so I just resigned myself to popping an OTC antihistamine (I use dissolvable Zyrtec simply because it is easy) after my swims and calling it a day. Works like a charm. Interestingly I have 3 pools in which I swim regularly, two cause the problem, one does not. In the summer I swim open water a fair amount. One of the lakes I swim in so causes my sinus issues, but most others don't. So I don't use the antihistamine all the time - just in places where I already know it is a problem. Fortunately the pool in which I swim most frequently causes the least number of issues. |

Master 2912 ...at home in The ATL | Subject: RE: SBR "U" Ouch Marc, hope your ear doesn't fall off! ?? That is freakin' cold. I have found that easy running is, well, easier in the cold, but I do run better when it is warmer - I think it has a lot to do with clothing (or lack thereof) as someone else pointed out. |

Elite 7783 PEI, Canada | Subject: RE: SBR "U" I turned 40 today. Shane gave me a birthday swim set of 40 x 50 as 8 x (50 fly, 50 back, 50 breast, 50 free, 50 kick). That was fun, haven't done that much non free in quite a while! |

Perfect timing as my email blew up with SBRU emails all day! Okay, we all know I'm a baby about the cold, but that kind of temperature is insane!! We've had some cool weather here (30's and 40's, so yeah, nowhere near -26F) and I find that since we don't get that kind of weather often, I have no idea what to wear. I tend to overdress, sweat, and then freeze....or like yesterday, underdress and freeze the entire time. After the race this weekend, I'd like to put in an order for some warmer weather. I could tolerate what Jason has |

Master 2912 ...at home in The ATL | Subject: RE: SBR "U" Happy Birthday, Arend! That sounds like the PERFECT workout to really get your first bout of shoulder tendinosis started off with a bang! :^) |

Master 2912 ...at home in The ATL | Subject: RE: SBR "U" Nah, Nicole, it's not just you - I also find that temp range tough to dress for as well, and I have all kinds of clothes. I much prefer low-to-mid 50s or low-to mid 30s to temps in the middle when both running and cycling. I tend to over or underdress in the temps between those ranges as well. |
