Did you give your fuel belt to someone? That is funny! I never have athletic supporters (jock straps) at my races and I'm too cheap to ditch one permanently. What will I do for my IM?!?!! Oh dear. This will require some planning and thinking.

I know on the flats... Bad luck, really!! At least with the "cluster" flats I found the cause -- it just took me 2+ flats to look harder. Before those 6, I only had about two in the last year or so.  Hey, I'd rather have clean/smooth roads than great schools!! Oh wait... maybe not. (Not that our schools are rolling in dough, of course.)

So hubs and I just booked our kid-free August Hawaii vaca. WOOT! To celebrate, I'm making kalua pork for dinner tonight, with an asian slaw on the side. Dinner's gonna rock. Anyway, we leave for Hawaii on 8/18, and Lake Stevens 70.3 is 8/15. I'm kinda tempted to enter it... Then enjoy a nice break in Hawaii where I'll spend 2-3 hours/day 40+ feet below the surface blowing bubbles with the fishies... 

Thanks, Fats, for posting my pics.

Just for you, Tracy. Not the photo you were referring to, but so you know you're not alone. I say be proud of your nipples!

Awesome!! Enjoy the last quiet summer Steve and Kim!

jvanis - 2010-04-07 8:03 PM holy cow a lot of posts since I last looked today.  

First day back in the pool after over a month, did not have my watch with, but did a total of 1500 yards, I was not as winded as I expected to be, my arms fatigued, but again not as bad as expected.  I just did 3 sets of 400 yards and was pretty happy.  The best part, no pain in my wrist, only a little unsteady feeling as the strength is still lacking.  Hopefully over the next 3 weeks I can hit the pool no less than 3 times a week to build back as much as possible.  My flip turns were stellar today, probably the best they have ever been.

Bike ride tonight... I looked at it, told my wife it was going to suck, and then did it, yep I was right.  Main set was 30 seconds on 115-120% 30 seconds off at 65-70%.. 20 sets worth.  My recovery sections were probably on the lower range, more to the tune of 55-60 probably.  Man oh man do my legs burn.  I ended up splitting the main set up and did 10 then a 5 minute 65% recovery section to make me not want to vomit, then the other 10.  9 and 10 made my stomach get very uneasy, but I hit the high side of the wattage for almost every one.  

The best news.  After  some more tweaking, I had my first ride without things going numb.  A friggin men.  A bit more work on the seat tilt and I am good to go.  For the longest time I was afraid the bike was not a good fit or something.  Hope to get in in the next few weeks for a fit now that I have it close.

DougRob - 2010-04-07 7:25 PM Lets start a contest: Name Kim and Steve's baby! How about T1!

kt65 - 2010-04-07 7:16 PM Kyla!  I did not realize you were so tall!  And dang, girl, you been lifting?   

and yes, i did hand my belt off to my cousins who came to cheer for my cousin Mark and I.   They almost missed me, but I saw them first (they were wearing matching SF 49er clothing) on top of their parkas..did I mention it was 30F and windy!!!  I basically ripped the stupid thing off my waist and threw it at their feet! 

Apologized later at the pancake house

A water belt that only has 1 big massive water bottle is not cool. Your trying to hard. If its a fuel belt,amphib thinger, nathan etc you are ok.

Not:

sdalessio - 2010-04-08 9:33 AM Congrats Steve on taking the plunge.  Yes life will change but it will be so awesome to snowshoe up to those mountain cabins w/ your own little person by your side. 

Ok who am I kidding - on your back or in your arms b/c after 10 ft. you will be carrying that child.  LOL
