I use fuel belts religiously.  They hold up to 4 bottles and I can clip on my hammer flask and it is on my waist so my hands are freed up.  I love them.  I will have 1 with water and the others depending on run length with gatorade endurance.  In races I will have 1 water and 1 with gatorade and refill during the race.

Taper Madness.  You get antsy and cranky because of the reduction in training and nerves about the race -- totally normal.

Early easy bike this morning, then flying to FL this afternoon for tri training camp.  Should be really good to have four full days of S-B-R (outside in the warm weather). 

I'll be sure to post pictures.

Have fun at your training camp!  Sounds fun!

Are you sure you're not secretly a PRO in training?  Good for you.  I'm going to drop my two boys (6 & 3) off at your house for four days so I can do the same thing!!

An awfule week of training for me this week.  Low volume is killing me.  Between work, non profits I help with, tee ball practice for the 6 year old, and soccer for the 3 1/2 yr old, my training week is shot!! Don't get me wrong, I truly enjoy coaching and this is priority.

Trying to schedule a massage for Friday!!  Left quad feels tight!!

There is NO sloshing.  the bottles are only 7oz each, but they are great and distribute the weight evenly.  The belt I show is the new renegade series.  You can remove and put the bottles back in with 1 hand . ..  as all the ads say, 1 handed entry and exit. The older belt is a little harder to get bottles in and out, but it works too.

I get the sized belts, but there are 1 size fits all with lots of colors.  I like the 4 bottle belts because it is enough fuel for long runs without stopping.  The nice thing is you can add little accessories to hold your keys, ipod, etc.  they are great belts. 

I just don't like holding anything in my hands for long periods.

I've GOT to remember to check the pool schedules when I go at odd times. The gym I go to has water classes usually in the mornings from about 8 or 9 until 10ish...well except M/W/F I guess. They go past 12.

I guess I just have never tried to go swim on a Wednesday during the day before! 

And to top it off, I check the city pool that is really nice, they are closed from 11-2 M-F. ARGH! No swim for me today.

That sounds like fun!!! Enjoy and I hope the weather is fantastic!!

Can't wait for Sunday.  First Route 66 MTB Race of the season.  Looks like a huge turnout.

Where is the camp?

Sweet ride! We just got a new minivan - another Honda Odyssey after our other one died an untimely death.

My last truck I bought came from Montana and I had it shipped to me. Still saved over $10k vs buying locally. I highly recommend hunting around the country for what you want when buying vehicles.
