Terry Butterfly Gellissima saddle - used once for a 15 mile ride a few years ago, has been in storage since then. In brand new shape! I can't remember what year I bought it, but I would assume 2009...

That sounds awesome! I might suggest this to the management at my YMCA - they often have little challenges like this for their members.

After next Friday, I'll have done two 5k races held entirely in cemeteries.

I don't live close enough to a large cemetery to consider using its pavement for training - and if I'm going to drive...

Thanks, everyone! I did look at the petites/shorter inseam options on TE, but since it's my first pair of tights, I wanted to know what brands to look at as well for my specific needs. :)

I'm...

I have never worked out outdoors through the winter before (other than riding horses in indoor arenas.. I live in Ohio!), so I am lacking in the gear I will need as the weather cools down.

What...

I'd go with the house and spend some of the money I'd be saving for the first month or two on getting some shelving units for the garage, nice bookcases, and perhaps some other storage solutions that...

Going commando isn't usually about sweat - it's most often about preventing more pressure points (elastic on underwear under compressive cycling shorts usually creates pressure points).

As for...

I really wanted to do one this year but none of the locations were close enough for me to justify it. I hope to do one next year!

Similar to the Warrior Dash, a local farm is sponsoring a...

I'm planning on:

Nov 2010: Chicago Hot Chocolate 15k
Feb 2011: (Maybe) Myrtle Beach Half Marathon
April 2011: (Maybe) Miami University Triathlon (sprint)
May 2011: Flying Pig Marathon
May...

My guess is that if you have a bike rack on your car, people familiar with cycling on a trail would know that you don't have a lot of room on a bicycle to take your valuables with you. Therefore,...

Unless your tri is indoors, most people will wear wetsuits for the swim. Unless you're used to pretty cold water (most likely under 70 degrees F depending on your location), I'd recommend getting...

Congratulations!!

Of the 6 people I was tracking from my triathlon club, 5 of them finished. All of them had very hard runs, as the heat got to them pretty badly. But they finished!

The 6th...

There are a few panhandlers near my college campus who I see regularly. One of the girls always has a different animal with her and a sign that says she needs money for vet bills.. but her hair is...

6 people from the tri club I ride with are competing at IM Louisville as well! One of them has run many marathons and finally got to the point where she wasn't bothered by races when it came to...

I'm between Cincinnati and Dayton, but since I'm going to UC I'm spending most of my time in Cincinnati these days.

Two things I noted from your posts about this cat: he is very underweight and he drinks a lot. Those COULD be signs that he is diabetic - you may want to have a vet check for that. I had a barn...

Have any of you with recurring UTIs actually had a doctor do a culture to ensure that the antibiotic is the right one for the bacteria type? I've had two cases where I've been on X antibiotic for...

ACG, I hope that you are seeing a doctor about your recurring UTIs. And that you are perhaps getting prevention tips from your doctor, including potentially an antibiotic to take if you feel an...

I've even stopped during the bike leg on a triathlon to ask someone if they need help with a flat tire or something. I can't imagine not stopping to see if you're okay and/or if you need help...

I was born in the 80s, so no.. ;)

3.5 days of antibiotics later, I am feeling better. I'm considering taking my second dose of diflucan today (first was on Tuesday) since my yeast infection is...

I doubt I will do the race tomorrow, as much as I would like to. I have a yeast infection today, so the thought of cycling or running makes me cringe. I'm rather uncomfortable.

I need to check...

The race director replied to my email saying that they have not gotten any other reports like mine, but that she will share my email with the rest of the race organizers.

Now.. maybe I should just...

Thank you! I just sent her an email about my issues. :)

Now.. does anyone think that I'm being a baby about potentially not doing any open water swimming for the rest of this year? I'm afraid...

Do you happen to have the link to the post-race survey? I believe most of those messages probably went to my spam folder, and I didn't look through it before the last time I emptied it. Poop!

I...

Soooo it looks like I picked up a systemic infection (most likely strep or staph) from my open water swim in Buckeye Lake. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Any little nick/bug...
