I found there was no learning curve with the Speedplays, just clip in and go. I also have no problems switching between the SP on my road and tribike and the SPD on my mountain bike. I also use the...
I have the speedplay light action on both my road and tribike and I love them. I originally tried the Looks but found them too much of a hassle to get in and out of. I went with the light action as...
FYI - comptutrainer classes are not your typically spinning class. You use your own bike and the computrainer system - a computerized bike trainer. You can either do virtual courses and shift like...
I also have the Cyclops Fluid Training. It is not silent but fairly quiet I usually listen to music or watch TV while riding and don't find it distracting at all.
I find the shifting fairly...
Another fun multi-sport race is the Greenway Challenge (www.greenwaychallenge.org) its a team event (although there are a few brave souls that do the entire race themselves).
The course changes each...
Hi Crankin,
I think the challenge is that in the Central MA area you are competing with the other bike clubs (CRW/NVP, SHW etc) which tend to be all show and go. This was the same day at the NVP...
Hi Veronica,
Thanks for sharing - great report. Sorry you had such a tough time on the run.
Love the fancy race numbers and medal.
The "racks" that they use look similiar to the ones used by...
I also have the original road id velcro band. I have really small wrists and don't even notice than its there. Feels not much different to having my watch on the other wrist.
I wear mine all the...
Very sad - there was also a cyclist hit and killed here over the weekend as well. Hit and run in Wellesley. The police say they have identified the driver but haven't realized any details as to who...
Thanks for volunteering :)
I volunteered on the run course in LP in 2011. It gave me an entirely new appreciation for the volunteers. We were out there for 6 hours in the sun and I was exhausted...
Very impressive. An Ironman at 82 y.o.; I'll be happy if I can at least still do sprints (or 5Ks for that matter) when I am in my 80's.
I was actually thinking about IMC for 2014, need to see how the Challenge goes and what the cut-off times are. I was looking at the Roth Challenge as well since my sister is in Germany but the...
Both of my bikes have a compact double, they are both 50-34 in the front and my road bike is 11-28 and my tri-bike is 11-25.
I have been ridding the compact doubles for about 6 years, I ride in...
It sounds like the "catch-up" stroke. I believe its used to help elongate the stroke. I found when I first started doing both catch-up and one handed drills I would swim too flat and not as I...
I've also had good luck with Gap -real straight. I am shorter than you but they have 3 lengths. I also like my J.Jill Boyfriend cut, little baggy but comfortable. Both run around $60 per pair.
I tried many many different type of sunscreens until I finally found one that does not sting my eyes.
The one I use is All Terrian Aqua Sport

Very cool - think I will need to add that one to my collection (next year).
Have fun!
Hi Veronica,
Nice report - thanks for sharing and congrats. I envy your ability to barely swim train and still do 42 minutes, my HIM time is about 55 minutes an I swim 3x per week.
Interested...
me too - I told my coach ahead of time when he suggested it, that I don't drink soda - and his response was "you will"
I tried it at about mile 20 of IMLP and it was awesome. Still don't like...
What are the BLUE footbeds?
I have the same issue, for me its the right foot, I clip out with the left foot so this one is clipped in most of the time.
It usually happens at about 60-70 miles...
Did anyone else notice that last night before the Women's 100M Butterfly Final they actually showed a promo for the Today Show with Missy and her gold medal. Therefore I then knew who won before I...
Thanks All! I feel really good about it. I ran the race I wanted to run.
Still feeling very tired and hungry but other than that feel good.

Love the Big Island - We have been there twice.
The last time was 2 years ago and we did a cycling trip around the Island.
Couple of my favorite parts of the ride where riding the IM course from...
Well - I did it, I completed my first Ironman Distance Triathlon.
It really was an amazing experience.
We headed up to Lake Placid on Thursday Afternoon (most of the hotels have a 5 night...
