Seattle | Subject: RE: Mad Manatees 2015.3 CLOSED (or Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by Asalzwed Ran my first cross country meet of the season. The bar was pretty low since I was just coming off a break and didn't do any quality workouts leading in. Then, I had some major personal stress, was in a wedding the night before and woke up with a cold. Surprisingly, despite all that "stuff" I only wound up about a minute slower than last year. So, I'd say it's a really nice baseline.
I am chomping at the bit to get my butt in gear but now I've got a cold (surprise, surprise) likely from having too much on my plate. So, I am just going to take it easy (again) this week and try and really get going on things...well...when I can. I have the final race of the trail running series on Saturday, then a backcountry adventure I am doing with some friends on Sunday (basically a long, mountainous, beautiful loop.) Keep an eye on Instagram for some photos of this trip! I head to California at the end of next week for what I can only describe as Tour De Cali. A mix of road tripping, running (Yosemite and Mt. Whitney being two of the destinations) and finally working a few days at our office in LA. Anyway, that's my update. Phew. So much fun! (except the being sick part) I have my first XC race this weekend. Based on what I've read here I figure there is a real possibility of being DFL. But I'll channel my inner Salty and see what I come up with. Well, who are you racing against? Our races are typically collegiate D1, D2 and D3 races, hence the high level of competition. There's not a very diverse sampling of runners like you would find at a community 5K. But that is not necessarily how all XC races in all regions end up working out.

Now that's epic Alternatively, I may have dreamed this. |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Mad Manatees 2015.3 CLOSED (or Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by Jet Black Originally posted by mtnbikerchk ok so Yep, it's Tuesday. And today's all consuming thought is POWER METERS. There's a thread in the TT forum but I don't want to hijack. I'm thinking I'm paging Ben here but please anyone chime in. so first power meter and I think I'm down to two choices: Powertap pedals: pros: easy to swap between bikes, it's POWERTAP (proven performance), dual sided power, easy battery swap cons: expensive, coach doesn't like pedals because of the greater likely hood of damange in a crash etc, I ride speedplay pedals now although I've been thinking about trying another type without the free float power2max spider/cranks: pro: bang for the buck, keep pedals cons: estimated left leg power, can't swap bikes (different cranks/bbs) I also like Quarq and SRM but if I'm going crank I'd probably go for p2m for $$ any other input is welcome. I'm trying to hold out for the dcrainmaker annual review but I'm getting excited as I just met with my new coach and I want to get power installed. I knocked out 2 birds with one stone by buying a set of Jet HED 6's with a powertap hub, and bought them used to keep the cost down. I swap them back and forth between my roadie and TT bike in no time at all. I'm hoping to train with a PM over the winter and have been watching the market as it quickly changes. Lots of new products and some great prices. I may end up buying something a little older used though. Just don't know yet. |

Small something they saw last time and wanted to keep an eye on is now of greater concern. Tomorrow doc takes to their tumor board to decide whether to surgically remove or do further testing. Conversation didn't go so well with this doc. He starts talking about palliative care over curative care. I thought that was a bit premature since he was only 50/50 on it being the same thing I had before or something less. He agreed somewhat and said he was just trying to be realistic. Either way I didn't think I'd make it this far after the last bout six years ago so am still thankful overall. All I wanted to do was go for a run which I did when I got home. It brought me great relief. |

Small something they saw last time and wanted to keep an eye on is now of greater concern. Tomorrow doc takes to their tumor board to decide whether to surgically remove or do further testing. Conversation didn't go so well with this doc. He starts talking about palliative care over curative care. I thought that was a bit premature since he was only 50/50 on it being the same thing I had before or something less. He agreed somewhat and said he was just trying to be realistic. Either way I didn't think I'd make it this far after the last bout six years ago so am still thankful overall. All I wanted to do was go for a run which I did when I got home. It brought me great relief. That sux. So sorry to hear it. I'll be praying. |
