Am torn between two road bikes. The components are basically the same - but does anyone have anything to offer on a Scattante frame versus a Fuji??

Help is appreciated.

This is the one I'm thinking of getting. I'm graduating up from an older steel framed LeMond with a triple - like ShellyJ - I really like...

I'm looking to get a new road bike - and considering a Fuji. I do lots of centuries and shorter mid week rides, want something great on big hills and fast on flats.

I was browsing the Fuji...

Good luck - I'll be running too - the one wearing green - (easy to spot, right?:D )

I think the weather might cooperate with us yet! Today would have been just right..but it's all about the fun...

I first try to make sure my stroke is equally powerful on both sides - so that one isn't dominate and cause me to drift to the left or right. In the Steelhead, it was a point to point and the...

My coach is in Kona right now. I believe everything should be in order for Saturday - otherwise how heartbreaking to do all that training only to have a little act of nature throw a wrench into it!...

It is race jitters. I do fine in OWS not in competition but the minute I hear the gun, my heart rate is through the roof and I cannot swim to save my life. In the Half Ironman I did in August, I...

I've tried all the gels it seems. Running is particularly hard on my digestive system - but Accelerade gels are the easiest (a thinner consistency than others, so it feels you can drink it). It is...

Beverly Fay is right. One can totally overestimate the amount of calories needed during and after long or short runs. I won't even smell Gatorade now after overdosing during marathon training two...

The elite athletes who led during the swim and bike portion of last weekend's Chicago Triathlon are asking the same question.

Both male and female leaders that cranked in the water and led...

If it is any comfort....snorkels and diving masks are legal on the swim.
I only saw two athletes actually wearing them, but the USAT official nearby confirmed they were perfectly acceptable.

I just read their race reports and I can totally sympathize with their tales - mostly the tough-on-the-feet run from swim finish to the Transition area.

Although the athletes might be too...

Several in my training group for the 1/2 Ironman also participated in the Accenture Olympic and Sprint. You are already trained - so it is more a question of logistics and $$ because Accenture ain't...

Congratulations!!

I was a volunteer at the Swim Start - wish I knew how many of the TE women were going to be there - would have added an additional boost of support!

But it looks like you got...

I found that doing some light weight/resistance training at the gym strengthened tendons and such around my knees and helped my performance.

Some like to take Glucosamine/Chondroitin but the...

I was volunteering at the swim start - I thought the swim lane was a bit narrow but it didn't take long for the pack to drift according to skill. I'm glad the rain held off as best it could. ...

Wishing everyone speed and endurance and optimal conditions!

Good luck during your taper week! (You are tapering right??)
Don't worry about forgetting anything - the expo has everything you would ever want and more.

Just don't forget to set a few alarms...

I dealt with something similar - was doing a triathlon and wanted the chamois padding for the bike but didn't want to do a long run with this diaper feeling. If you are like me, you have more...

Fantastic photos! And great job on such a huge event. Congratulations all around for everyone in your family.

I posted this in the Triathlon section and was encouraged to post again in the race results area. I finished this event last Saturday....now it seems ages ago. www.steelheadtriathlon.com

Hey Skibum! Glad to hear your success story! I'm still on somewhat of a high from the whole event. Even now I am quickly forgetting the tough parts. My BF and I (he also did the race) visited...

To those in the midwest region, I would highly recommend this event:

I just did it on Saturday - my first of this calibre and actually only the second tri I've ever...

I was using Electrolyte tabs from Trace Minerals but recently switched to Endrolyte by Hammer. Not switching for any particular reason, but during the training phase, just wanted to test out a few...

I love that it is constant motion in three environments with three sets of equipment.

I love that no two are ever alike and that I can go to a new city by way of a triathlon - swim in their...
