I have a shuffle that I clip to my hat, and shortened the cord to my head phones. Love it.

It is great to hear the you are feeling better. Keep us posted.

11k is like 7 miles. Yea a MB is probably ok. But still may be worth asking around for one to borrow. As far the right/left rule in the UK, honestly not sure.

Agree w/ the other posters - talk to your doc about being run down. The other thing is time management. Make a schedule for things and stick to it. Go to bed 1/2 hr earlier and wake up 1/2 hr earlier to give you that "me" time. Do be afraid to say no to things (This one is HUGE - too many of us are pleasers, and say yes to…

You know your body best, if you think you can handle it, then go for it. Personally, 35 is light enough that I wouldnt worry about it. However, I would not push it at all. Just a nice steady below race pace. I think everyone has some of those crazy *kitten* friends. Last year we did an olympic tri together, (which she…

Check out craigslist - or even your local bike shop for a cheap bike. Ask some of your neighbors if they have a bike you can borrow. I agree, you dont need a road rocket, but almost any type of road bike will make the bike portion of race so much better. Even an old 10speed will be a better than a mountain bike on anything…

Call it crazy but I love bike/run bricks. The only thing I would add would be to set up a mock transition area. Use some chalk and make a mount/ dismount line, practice running w/ your bike. Start off in whatever you would be in getting out of the pool. Get yourself wet and run to your bike, dress, and do your bike part of…

See if your local gym/pool offers Masters Swimming. It has done wonders for my swimming. (http://www.usms.org/)

^^^^^ So true.

Nice ride - was looking at the SLT myself. But ended up w/ a P2 instead when they had their sick sale a few months back. My buddy was wanting a new ride as well and the buy 2 get 2k back was too good to pass up. If its between the SLT or the SDR - and if $$$ is'nt an object - go w/ the SDR. Main diff between the 2 is the…

To take this a step further...... Take some chicken breast, butterfly it, pound it thin, scoop the cooked apples into the middle of it, add a little fat free mozzarella cheese, and roll it up, and either tie w butcher string or pin w toothpicks. Bake for 20 mins. Remove and let sit for 5 mins, then slice and serve. Works…

I have the same problem! I drink alot of water and have some popcorn for a snack. Helps alot.

Thank you so much for you humbling words. Ill post some pics once I actually receive it. I am pretty happy w/ the way it turned out!

As some of you man know, this year, I have made it my goal to train for an finish an Ironman. I have been in contact w/ Epix gear (who I have a tri suit from already and love) and they have helped customized a suit for me this year. Although they couldn't sponsor me (which would have been great) they have agreed to donate…

Tnx for the link.

X2. Much better than those other trainers. Picked up a set this year and love them. They do take a bit to get used to, but I love them now. Check CL or last years models at some of your local bike shops.

Pretty much whoever we are if I see someone taking a group shot picture, I will always get one with me in it. 99% of the people find it funny as hell. Every once in a while there is a **** that gets pissy. Best one ever was a group of ladies in Vegas were looking for someone go take a pic of them. I volunteered, then…

Oh yea....use sunscreen :laugh:

Since they **** out some words...this post has been edited to be PC....enjoy : Excrement does not flow downhill (Own your own company, and you find this out really quick) No matter how excrement-ty your day/life/work/pain/<insert what ever here> is, Someone is always worse off than you are and would do anything to be in…

I hate you :-) (j/k). Already dropped 50 bux on that site!

Vodka & Sugar free Red bull As for the 55....its not too bad. If I drink it I will now switch between a 55 and a new platinum. But the V RB is my new drink of choice..

I started doing this at the gym for warmup. I do the same thing 1min on 1 off for 10 mins. Great way to get things warmed up. An hour is nuting futz! Just picked up a rope the other day so gonna have to try that!

My first one this year is coming up in June - The 3 Pigs triathlon. This will be my 3rd year doing it. I improved almost 9 minutes from the first year to the 2nd. I'm thinking I will do about 5 mins better this year. This year is the first time I have actually incorporated strength training and other types of training into…

Love it!!! 1. Wife still gets me hot & bothered, even after 20 years. 2. Since I learned I have MS and accepted it, my outlook on life has changed 180 degrees. 3. Because of #2, I am very selfish . I do things that make me happy, and alot of times don't think of how it will effect others.

Like others said, get some tri shorts and a good running shirt. Wear the shorts in the pool, transition to the bike, put the shirt on and shoes and get on your bike and go. PS - take a look at the clearance section at performance bike .com I just picked up a set of pearl Isumi Trishorts there last week for 35 bucks…
