For tri clothes, I've seen a number of good deals on Sportsbasement.com or all3sports.com and the occassional close-out bargain at Athleta.com. Good luck! I actually bought many of my bike shorts...
And here I thought I was alone in that camp - sandals are the absolute best! I do get quite the looks at the health club, though! And... I never quite realized just how stinky THEY can get!

I guess I haven't posted in awhile... I had to have another surgery.
One of the screws broke and the end of the old plate popped off and rebroke the bone (disrupted the new bone growth). It's...
Thanks for asking!!! No, I've not completely recovered from the broken collarbone... the saga continues... was doing AWESOME for 6 weeks post-surgery to plate the bones. Then, as I was reaching...
Just beware of the swim start in a sprint. I am an experienced triathlete and was still swept up in the eye of the storm at the only sprint race I tri'd this year. People will gun it the whole way,...
1/2 IM training program
This program comes from trinewbies.com. A couple of summers ago, when I was training for my 1st half, I worked out for 5, sometimes 6 days a week - focusing on my...
I use Syntace, although they are on my tri bike and the shifters are attached to the ends. My road bike has Profile, which has a diamond loop at the top, but I've found I like the more straightened...
I've tried 'em all and have been sticking with the Bag Balm, this year - more bang for your buck. Seemed the Chamois Buttr soaked in too quickly so I didn't have enough lube left to get me through...
Thanks. I saw the Ortho today and I'm going ahead with the procedure to pin the bones. I still have a pointy bone fragment sticking out that is pretty painful, so we'll see what he can do about...
Thanks, ladies! I revisit the Ortho on Friday for another set of Xrays and I'm keeping an open mind... I will probably trust this guy's opinion, since he was successful in treating my tendonitis...
Thanks for all the suggestions - AND the stories!!! It's good to hear about other bikers that have been through this and are back in the saddle!!! I LOVE H2O aerobics (not as much as biking, of...
I tried the eliptical once - it seems I am too uncoordinated not to have to use my arms. The stationary bike might just be what I need, though - thanks for the thought!
I took a 2-mile walk/jaunt...
Last Saturday was my pinnacle of the year - my first Ironman race. After a good cold swim and a loooong transition, I was off to the toughest bike course I had ever ridden. The race was in...
I used a road bike with clip on aero bars and a forward seatpost for a couple of years before deciding to make the switch. If my road bike had actually fit, I probably wouldn't have given it another...
I have been wearing a one-piece for all my races the last four seasons. However, the leg grippers are wearing out so I bought a pair of PI tri shorts at a recent expo - now, just have to find a top...
Always looking out for the deals!!!
Saw in my latest Athleta catalog that a Zoot Tri Suit (looks like a racer swimsuit) is on sale for $20. Item #8167 on Athleta.com - originally $66!!!!

If you are looking for dual purpose bikes, there are a few out there - Cervelo One or Dual are two that I can think of right away. Do a search on the discussion board of slowtwitch.com and you'll...
I just fill it up/empty it out a few times with water (including siphoning through the hose), then wipe out with a towel, then blow my own air in through the hose to blow it up and seal it up, then...
Riding style - My bike is a tri bike, so my positioning is a bit different than a road, as I am rarely riding the 'horns' (no drops) and am almost always in aero position. Thus, more pressure in...
I have tried just about everything and need to find relief, FAST!!! I am gearing up to do long rides for every single weekend and I cannot find a lube that stays on! It seems like it all soaks into...
ChainsOfLove, thanks for the tip about the Body Glide - I never knew what else I'd use it for, besides for the wetsuit! Also, is it just me or why do my shorts always want to bunch up at the crease...
I have the Performance Athena's, which are feminine, but a trade-off, because I probably do not get absolute maximum coverage...

No - someday, I would like to go for the whole week, but it's just not in the cards this year, either. With my training for an ironman, it would be too difficult to log the kind of miles in that...
For me, it's a commuting to the pool (seems like!) and a little Shopping (!!!), then on Sunday, a 60-mile invitational with the tri club. I'm very excited, even if the weather isn't ideal!!!

If you're looking for a little research, there was a nice long thread about this same topic last summer, too! It was very helpful!! Good Luck!
