Well, well, the world is quite small!

Yes Val, I'm talking about the Caledon Tri. Do you perhaps train as well with the C3 in Inglewood?

It is so great that your sons participate as well in the KOS! Have you seen one of those races before? It is really cute, those very little ones on their tri-cycles! They have so much fun!

The only store for good running stuff is the Running Room in Brampton. I also went to that Mississauga store, but there was nothing really that caught my eye. That is how I ended up with "Team Estrogen".

And Pedalfaster, thanks for your advice. I will look for those quick laces. I think I've seen them in the Running Room. I love your comparision "pantyliner" vs "maxipad".

Your description of the transition really helps a lot. Thanks! We can't train the transition outside yet, the lakes and ponds here are still frozen, ugh... But I'll talk to my coach. If I remember correctly, the guys took the bikes to the pool last year and practiced the transition there.

Have fun, everybody!
