Neil, I'm thinking turtle as well (know what that means?). You would have to do that anyway to lower the front even slightly or could find yourself a bit too folded up. Your head is rather high and the helmet is way off your back. Not everyone needs it right on, but usually that's better to go, or at least get closer to.

Chris, the H3's are very good wheels, but I also lean towards the cover. I forget, would power be available to you then? Also, aren't the H3's very narrow tires, like 19? A bigger tire should get a slight bit more comfort and could get some rolling benefits as it could absorb the bumps better. 

Do I stick it out in 33-37F temps for a ride outside or use the trainer? Every year at this time I'm always wondering when the last outdoor ride for a few months will be.

I've given up hope for the winter.  I will likely be trainer bound until at least March.  

Slowtwitch is watching....

I'll be running a 5k at the track tomorrow.  

If I were there, I'd be watching 

Welcome Ben.  No, I don't have power on the road.  Only the CT

Just curious if you two found the tooth count etchings in the cogs. Every cog should have one, like "19T". Well, some spider assemblies are funny, but most every one.

Aw, thanks!

Honolulu Marathon! My favorite! I've done it twice and it was my first ever endurance race. Even have it tattooed above my ankle with a honu

So many crazy people and costumes and Christmas spirit. Oh, and Japanese guys pulling over for a smoke break. It's awesome.

Yeah, it seems kind of hallowed timing for me as IMWA is 8 years to the day after that first oh-so-fateful road race.

Maybe I should go to ST and start a thread about being lonley...there's still time to set up another epic thread. 

What is funny is when I lived in Oregon I'd go out in that (and most likely it would involve rain).  Now that I live in AZ....hell no.

I've seen those before but at that time the bike was on a trainer in a cramped corner and looking for that would have required too much effort.  

Go Yanti !!!!

What times does this start NewYork timezone time ?

Are they tomorrow yet ? Is tomorrow today ? I am so confused without my coffee

My plans for today are to do a sufferfest, run a little, buy a car and go to Tim Horton's.

I couldn't figure out the timezone thing either so when all else fails, I ask the Google

It's a straight 12 hours for me

What did we do before Google.  Used our fingers I guess.  Tina worked in NZ for a month so I spent a month totally confused trying to track my 4 work timezones and then figuring out when it was a good time to call NZ and what frigging day it was there

WA is 13 hours ahead of us on the east coast. It's bedtime for her, although based on her FB activity she's still up. 

Funny how you stuck "buy a car" in between "run a little and a coffee/donut." I hate car shopping but fortunately only do it about once every 7-8 years. 

TriAya - 2012-12-07 11:36 PM And Welcome, Ben!!! {MELON PRESS} happiness ... you're one of the voices of reason left in Tri Talk. Thanks for being bold, brave, and most of all ... right.

Thanks, and good luck to you!

I just looked at the tracker - 12 splits for both the bike and run!

I am thinking about Yanti...really hope she has the awesome day that she so deserves!

Just got back from an 85 mile ride. Bit chilly at the start but such a beautiful day out there!
