    Thank you for that! I loved the articles (glad to know I'm not the only one who feels like a freak the day of a race).
    Thanks for sharing!

    And Lise, I've been there, done that. Not in an actual race, but once when I went riding at the very crowded lake. I'm sure I made someone's day and they went home to tell someone about the "crazy bike lady."
    As long as I make someone laugh every day (and I usually do by making a fool out of myself), then I'm content...

    Great motivators

    Susan,
    The articles were great, they arrived via a TE newsletter in my email inbox precisely when I was in a big slump this past week (and for the last 2!) on my training for a mtb race and du this fall....in the midst of a move back to the US, my training has taken a huge nose dive...and the bikes were packed up this week too So esp after reading how Molly got into run shape and the concise training program, I've at least picked myself up a bit again. Not 100% yet, but working on it Thanks again, the articles are great to read.
    Ride like a girl.

    Both great articles! And they both did such a great job!

    Yea, I understand the nerves that come before competition. I get them so bad. This last time though (my 5th event)... I only got them the morning of. Instead of days before.

    Thanks for the heads up on the articles! Thanks for having such a wonderful site!

    Thank you for providing the links to these great articles. I am getting ready for my first tri and found them so helpful.

    Lise, good recovery on your bike transition and a great reminder for me to zero my odometer. I forget all the time. If I went up on a curb clipped in I would have surely fallen.

    If I had fallen, it would've been a first for me. I ride around the city clipped in, and have yet to fall (knock wood). Would've been pretty funny (or...not so funny.. ) if I fell over, clipped in, at a tri, attempting to zero my odo! L.
