Gorgeous :wink:

This... relax, have fun - it's not about what the clock says it's about whether you are happy with it.

Not sure why'd they'd want that, but I've got nothing to hide :)

Well done :)

My Wife, My kids, My dog, Sunny mornings on the deck, lying on the beach on a hot day, swim - bike - run. In that order.

That right there is a good looking guy - not my thing tho.

more steak makes a perfect side dish :)

This. the way I look at it is considering I've gotten rid of so many bad habits the coffee / caffiene can stay.

Same

Thanks! I bought new shorts specifically for this ride - was definately the right decision.

Toasted bagel, 2 slices extra lean black forest ham, 2 eggs scrambled and cooked in the microwave in a bowl, 1 slice swiss cheese. Combine on plate, serve with coffee ~580 cals.

Have to agree here, rum is a great summer drink, but whiskey is my year long go-to drink.

Hang in there... make logging a part of life, not just to compare to the scale. What I have really noticed much more than the scale is my clothes are getting bigger, even when the scale isn't moving. Keep working at it, before you know it you'll be needing to go shopping for different sizes :)

OOOooohhH! I'm definitely adding those to my wish list! Picked up a new set of Garneau shorts this afternoon, have an 80km ride planned tomorrow and have been noticing around 60km the pad in my trishorts just isn't cutting it anymore - its possible I could try to toughen up a bit too :-)

Thanks for the info - I'd love to wear contacts on my rides so I can take the glasses off when the light starts to fade, right now my riding glasses are prescription and tinted, so either carry two pairs of glasses, or don't ride over daylight changes :-/

Thanks for the tip, it seems that you can buy a 'training kit' that includes the thong, mat, and riser in addition to the trainer - I'll probably go that way.

I'm thinking I'm going to tip a few pints tonight that might put me over my goal #s... don't really consider it cheating tho. :)

Just finally starting to use the social aspect of MFP, apparently for that to work I need friends :-)

Your goal of coming back from a heart attack to fit is inspiring!

Awesome helmet! Love the flip up/down visor. Does the wind come around the visor at all? I find that if I don't have my glasses almost touching my face the wind comes around the lens and plays hell with my eyes.

Thanks! - the top of the line ones are a bit out of my range this year but I'll definately look at teh Cycleops Fluid and Kurt Kinetic trainers.

I upgraded my bike to a 'new to me' 2011 Cervelo S2 Dura Ace... Riding is so much more fun than on my ancient hybrid mountain bike! Planning on a new set of googles next month (bike really blew the budget)

Hi! I'm Warren, I live in Winnipeg MB Canada, and at 35 I was inspired to pick up a long forgotten goal of racing in Triathlons. I'm putting in the time to get better at running, faster at cycling and remembering what I've forgot about swimming this summer with plans to register for the local sprint Tris next summer,…
