I noticed that myself. They actually show the River Walk Trail in Louisville. I wonder if you can submit from Garmin Connect, your routes or popular cycling routes in your area. For instance, here in Lexington with all the surrounding countryside, w…
Agreed on many of the points:
-I learned about volunteers who have "Kung Fu grip" when it comes to releasing waterbottles on a hot half
-Also why do i always get the 300 pound guy to yank me out of my wetsuit and never the college chearleaders or…
Google Maps is currently Beta testing a bike route choice on the Google Maps webpage. I played around with it some last night, and it is pretty good. A word of warning is it has a generic pace of 10 mph used for creating time estimates.

I hope things are going well for you now and you have found your path back to faith. I have felt the same way as you at times. I grew up Catholic and never really felt like I had a relationship with God. I felt like I just had to follow rules and tr…

Do a You Tube search on Savageman or Westernport Wall, it will show an extreme climb, but also shows multiple angles because they have to snake up it.

So if Chrissie races and you are a female pro, don't show up?? wonder if this will have the lifespan of the compression sock ban

I'm training to be an EMT right now and I plan to volunteer in some races that I don't race. Thought this might be a good group to join to hear about common injuries and remedies. If its a serious condition, I'd know how to treat it, but we don't re…
Hello!!!
I was just wondering if there is any one that could tell me why my feet get tingling when I'm running. They also get very cold and so my hands. I know it still winter and is hard to stay warm but it seems like the rest of my family don't h…

- in 2008 i did 8 triathlons including my first half iron distance. I do have some physical challenges to over come, i have a shoulder with a muscle that was reattached in 2004, in September 2005 I was in a head on collision ( i was doing 35mph in my truck, the person running from the cops 40 - 60mph) did a real number on my back, could not bike for over a year, took lots of PT (pain therapy, physical torture, pain &torture, etc), was no longer able to ride rigid bikes ( hence the softrides), I also have a birth defect called tarsul coalitions which means my ankles are mostly fused with the exception of an updown movement, can't run (I want a shirt with a slow moving sign on the back for the "run" just for laughs) on a good day i can race/ fast walk 10 - 12 minute miles.
In November 2008 I moved to Illinois and am looking forward to racing, due to the winter, i have ramped up my swimming and do 3 shorter workouts (2,500 - 4000yds) two longer (4000-9,000yds) usually about 10 -12+ miles a week
This year i have done three races so far:
Illini, Mattoon Mayhem, and Rockman Half
On the way to Savageman Half-Iron, Cheseapeake man (aquabike full) i started to expierance sever back pain where my injury was, this has pulled me out of tri for the rest of the year and my hopes of doing Beach 2 Battleship full in November are past,,hopefully after some healing time and training i will be back at it next year

Finally back on the bike
Finally after almost a month i am back on the bike and have not lost too much in it, I was able to get in 44 miles, and am going to head off to swim, then bike back home.
Was getting kinda worried with Steelhead being less then a month off and not having been able to get on the road at lately due to the back spasms.

Back2
still dealing with the spasms in the back, still hurts. I did not do the Louisville camp which kinda sucks, was looking forward to it. i have managed to get back in the pool and swim, just dialed back a lot.
Thursday was 4,100 yards (300,500,2200, 800, 300)
Friday was a straight 4,400, which of course the doctor tried calling me, have to do my follow up on the xrays on monday.
Still no biking or running, other then exercise bike

- What a bummer! What kind of hotel doesn't have a treadmill?? Sounds like you are in the same boat with traveling as me. I was in Orlando for Christmas---Michigan for New Years---and headed out to Chicago for work next week, and possibly going snowboarding in Tahoe. Not sure if I am going to do that just because the month is tight with travel already.

The roads are a lot safer than Hawaii. Not much traffic here and flat roads. There is a MS ride with 30, 50 , 75 and 100 mile rides in September. The drivers seem to be wary of the bikers and I've never had anybody try to scare me like Hawaiian drivers. It would be good to have another triathlete here to train with. When are you coming here? Give me a call at (808) 227-2746, (hawaiian cell number. Ralph

- Hi Mike, It's about 44 today so I haven't been able to do much riding except for on the trainer. There are a few bike groups around. I haven't connected with any of them yet, as my Trek E11 developed corrosion and had to be replaced. New Bern is a great town. It has a great YMCA with two pools. The outside pool is covered and heated during the winter. New Bern's 300th anniversary is 2010 and there are lots of activities planned.
Wilmington has the Beach to Battleship Triathlons in Septrber with 70.3 and full Ironman -no slots though.
