Mine were 125 in the store - I did a quick scan of the bar code (Google Goggles) and found them on amazon on sale for 52.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WSLABE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 (now up to 59) I asked the guy if they price match - and showed him right there the price. He said no, but wanted the URL b/c it…

Hey Tera, Welcome to the club ;) You will find the people on here are awesome and its a great place to just vent sometimes with people that get it! If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask! -Rob

Well came back from a ride today and found a package waiting for me!! Its pretty cool to be able to go from this guy : to this guy (weighed in at 186 this morn): Its a good thing I live life like no one is watching - b/c everyone gonna see me in this thing! Plus I picked up new set of neon orange running shoes (same ones…

To give it a twist - try some Rice Wine Vinegar, now they even have Rice Wine Vinegar with Roasted Garlic. Its delicious!

I have every race bib since I started. I put the date, finish time, AG place and overall place on the back and tack them to the wall in my closet. Call it my motivation wall. Kind of reminds me of why I do it. Always trying to improve.

Great run even w the return to T2. That is one of the things that u only do once ! Nice race.
-
Lol...get up early.....go to bed late :-)

Just once I'd like to make the podium. I know it will never happen in a full or 1/2. I know I need to improve my run by almost 5 mins from where I am now to have any hope. Already improved my 5k time by over 4 mins....to knock another 5 off I'm not seeing it. But I figure if I keep this up till I'm 75 I'm pretty sure I…

You will be very surprised at the amount of encouragement that other athletes give you out there. My first race - I was huge, it was the people out there giving me words of encouragement that helped me cross that finish line. You can do it. Remember - enjoy the experience.

Best concert ever - 1987 - Pink Floyd, Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour. MSG - NY. Just amazing.

Are you on any other Meds besides the BS? I think in your other post you mentioned that you have only been on it since Feb, which means you just hit full dose about 8 weeks ago? The fatigue may be part of the BS. I remember it taking a few months to finally get acclimated to it. But I always felt like crap the day after my…

That is great news! The only downside is that it kills the rest of the day for me. For somereason my body is just exhausted when I get home. I usually lay down in bed and don't wake back up until morning. But I wake up with no issues at all and feel great from a 15 hr sleep!
-
For me - the entire process takes 3hrs. 1 hr is check in and wait for the meds to arrive (nurses orders the meds, normally arrives in about 30-40 mins) 1 hr for the actual infusion 1 hr after the infusion for observation. I just bring my XOOM and watch some movies. I feel better than I have felt in years.

Rant away! Its nice just to be able to vent somedays!

OK - this pretty much made my day already and its not even 8am yet! Thanks ;)

Been sleeping naked since I graduated college. I absolutely hate sleeping with clothes. Just feel too restricted.

Your the Dude...nuff said!

My first try was an OWS and I hated it (mostly for lack of training) now I love OWS. If you have never done an OWS before - be sure to at least get out in open water before the race. I dont care how far you can swim in a pool - open water is a different animal. Nothing like being mobbed by 150 of your closest friends ;)

Nike makes a running short with liners built in they are called Nike Dri-FIT Tempo Track Two-In-One. Got a pair of these last year - by far the best running shorts I own, perfect for the people that are pron to "chub rub". I am happy to say that I can now wear "normal" shorts w/ no issues. But I still prefer the Nikes for…

Never used NUUN so can't give any opinion there. It honestly all depends on the length of the race or ride. A sprint tri - I will hydrate a bit before the race w/ some Heed then just have water on my bike (one bottle between my bars) and a small hand water bottle on the run. Anything more than this - I usually have a few…

My wife got me the best shirt ever it says.....Boobies make me smile ;) Thats why I love her!!!

I love these mini challenge - For whatever reason - doing these seems to give me the motivation to get my *kitten* to the gym. Done! 2 sets: 40 first set 35 2nd set Those bodypump classes are paying off ;) Time to get the kids off to school and head to the gym. Good challenge - thanks!
-
I have learned - its not a diet, its a life style change. - some people are negative, and some people are positive - and I choose positive - I can do this - its ok to indulge - just in moderation - if I know im going to drink 12 beer tonight - my *kitten* better be either at the gym, on my bike, or on the trail for at…

9 b/c I love the dimples!

Just hire a painter and don't worry about it ;) Debate settled!
-
^^^^^^ This!!!
-
Holy crap - this is like having fins on in the water - you must crush it on the swim!
-
LIke above - all great suggestions. The big thing is dont eat anything out of the ordinary, and dont experiment on race day. If you never tried fried catfish liver - doing it a day or 2 before the race would not be the best thing to do - If they are handing out goo blocks at the race, and you never tried one - this is not…
