Just got an email from WaterFi for their new Swimcast - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waterfi/waterfi-swimcast-streaming-music-player-for-swimmi/ - and being a gadget geek I had to get it. I already have their ipod shuffle, but always have trouble getting it to play podcasts. Now I can stream podcasts in the pool!…

I do triathlons. I started because I wanted to push myself physically but didn't feel like I had what it takes talent-wise to be "good" in any one sport. So instead, why not be mediocre in three sports and crazy enough to put them all together at once? The tri community is pretty friendly with a wide variety of talent and…

I love triathlons and recommend them to almost everyone. They're lots of fun, the tri community is pretty welcoming and all around it's addictive. But, do you have at least a base level of swim/bike/run? Heck, can you swim? You could probably make through a sprint tri but it might not be much fun. If this tri were in…

Meh, I don't think there are many swimmers on MFP in general, and what there are are in that group :)

There's no substitute for an amazing donut. I used to buy a gas station donut every time I filled up the car. Stale, not very tasty and yet I ate wolfed it down. Empty, unfullilling calories. Now I get one super amazing donut a week - fresh from the local bakery on the weekend coming home from the gym. Rather than instant…

Get a heart rate monitor + garmin device and voila, calories burned calculated.

Started my running 10k training plan on monday, which kicks me up from avoiding running to running 4 days a week. Thursday is my overlap day of swimming in the morning and running in the evening and of course today is the day the masters coach decided to go all out on kicking. I'm a (pathetic) triathlete, darn it, I don't…

I ride year round in Minnesota and there's no way in heck my spring/summer/fall bikes are out in the winter. Beater bike all the way. I ride an old 90s mountain bike with studded tires. It's a different kind of riding than on my regular commuter or my road bike, but it's challenging and exciting. Plus, it's an excuse to…
