Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well I have won an award but not one that you want to win. I have won a Dumbard award. So I was going over my race this morning with my swim coach and telling her how I did ok but had a bad run because of the side cramps. She asked if I drank enough on the bike and I said "I didnt drink any". I was told to drink more next time. Sometime ago I read on here (not this group) when I first started that there was no reason to carry water because its just a sprint. So I guess its a lesson learned and now everyone can get a good laugh at it. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yikes, no wonder you were cramping! That's an easy fix for your next race though, live and learn ![]() Newtons1st - 2009-07-08 9:03 AM Well I have won an award but not one that you want to win. I have won a Dumbard award.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() The other way to build up is more of a stair step. It's a little harder up front but will increase your endurance sooner and allow for more recovery. Up to you which you'd like to do but it'd look something like this...

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm sure some of you have seen this but Southwest is having a pretty big sale on a ton of flights. Thought it'd be good for those that are considering traveling to races later this year... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So after 3 years of racing I finally broke down and bought a race wheel! Decided to go with the HED Jet 6 C2 for my front and I'm going to get a disc cover built for my rear wheel ($90). I've heard great things about the C2 rim absorbing vibration so I went with that over the stiffer yet more aero H3. Supposed to ship out next week woho! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Sweet!!! I have thought about a disk cover. Let us know how it goes. evondo - 2009-07-08 10:26 AM So after 3 years of racing I finally broke down and bought a race wheel!

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Holy smokes....GO EAT!!! Go steal those curly fries and get some food in you!! I think I'd be passed out by 10am if I didn't eat. On AM swims days I eat a banana beforehand, breakfast #1 when I get home, breakfast #2 when I get to work and sometimes a mid-morning snack and I'm starving come lunchtime. You should keep some snacks in your desk for days like this? Nicole83 - 2009-07-08 12:17 PM I try not to ever do this. I'm lightheaded and queasy.

I am definitely doing the wheel cover before IMFL. I am waiting on my new cranks, and I have plans to buy a new base bar and clip ons, and I am buying a new Adamo saddle on the 17th. $125 on Bikeisland.com ~ yep, it's a race saddle - road for $99. That will just about do it for bike upgrades this year. next year ~ new bearings for cranks and new wheels!!! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I think there wont be anything left of the original bike once you get done.

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() haha...it's what we all do. We just don't all admit it! It's a longer bike and swim so that will play to your advantage. Well you should be ahead of them going into the run and if you see them pass you...it's GAME ON! ![]() KelliD - 2009-07-09 8:57 AM Well.....I didn't want to be the one to say it, but yea, maybe a little ![]() Betsy0706 - 2009-07-09 9:47 AM Yawn is correct.

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have a tire pressure Q for you ladies. What do you air yours up to? My wife has a hard time getting them aired up. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() We have a bike fairy that takes the bike down and pumps up tires for her. Newtons1st - 2009-07-09 10:05 AM I have a tire pressure Q for you ladies. What do you air yours up to? My wife has a hard time getting them aired up. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ooohhh....where can I get me one of those???? Hate pumping up my tires. With my old tires I think I had them around 110-115. I believe my new tires can go up to 140....and they were freshly pumped yesterday by the nice guys at the bike shop ![]() evondo - 2009-07-09 11:28 AM We have a bike fairy that takes the bike down and pumps up tires for her.
