Hey Everyone,
I'll be filling in for John tonight as he enjoys some well earned R and R.  The weather forecast right now doesn't look super, but lets hope for clear skies.  If the weather does turn for the worst, I'll make an e mail announcement by 6:30, so please check your e mail before you leave for the park. 
I plan on doing a little bit of riding, so during that period there will be no shoe watcher.  Please bring a small bag that you can ride with to keep your running shoes in.  I'll bring an extra one or two if anyone forgets :)
 
We'll be starting at 7PM sharp at the Grand Army Plaza entrance.
 
See you there,
Jonathan

If you're new to the sport, would like to improve on some bike
handling skills, afraid on the pace of the Saturday rides or just
looking to go slow and save your legs while helping a fellow club

know. I'll give you all the details via email (cyclo@...).

Who's up for a 40-45 miler on 9W on Saturday? If you're interested a
group ride with some fellow club members shoot me an email and I'll
give you all the details. The average speed of these rides is 16-18mph
and there's a fair bit of climbing involved. My email is

See you out there!

i would be happy if computrainer classes started by november.  if they
started sooner, that would be fine too.  evenings after 7 would be great,
except monday
i liked how we did it last year, committing to 4 weeks at a time, if that
worked out for John.

Anyone trying to squeeze in one last race this season, hurry up and
register for Bassman on Oct 7.  You can choose between Oly and Half
distances.  There are less than 75 spots left, so if you're thinking
about doing this race, sign up now!

I guess surviving the training is the key as to whether one should do
it or not. I've trained with a bunch of folks that have been
successful in their IM attempts, some really fast Hawaii qualifiers
and some more "normal" (uh...yeah, ok...none of them is what I'd
consider "normal"). I realized they only did their IM attempts until
they were well seasoned (like 5 years minimum of marathoning, short
course tri's and half IM's...sprinkle in some 10k's, 5k's and half
marathons also). I guess it depends on your athletic background. I'm
not talking about whether your fast or not, I'm talking about whether
your body has shown signs that it can take more and recover quickly
from what you've given it. Nothing is like an IM in terms of what it
does to your body and what you have to do to your body to get one
done. What I would do is maybe show your family the things you've done
athletically and how well you did (both in the event and afterwards
recovering) and they'll realize that you're made for this stuff.

Hi guys, I was chatting with a friend of mine in the service industry
last night and thought I'd do her and all service industry employees a
favor by reminding everyone of tipping etiquette.  When you have a gift
certificate for a service, such as a massage, facial, or manicure,
please remember to TIP.  A freebie doesn't mean that you can ignore the
rules of politeness.  If you had a gift certificate to a restaurant,
you would still tip your server.  The same goes for any other personal
service you receive.  Tip your masseusse/hairdresser etc as you would
if you were paying for the entire service.

Cheers!

You're really asking the age old question, but at least you're asking
the question.  Triathletes have many different goals - some want to
build speed and win races, others want to accomplish the ultimate
Everest climb and jump right in to an IM for their first race.  Only
you can really answer this question for yourself.  Personally, I do a
6 hour half IM and wouldn't consider doing an IM, even though I could
probably carve out the time to train - suffering for 14 hours doesn't
sound like fun to me. I don't want to sit on my bike for 7 hours, nor
do I want to run for 5+ hours (I would love to do the swim though).
But there are plenty of folks who don't feel like an IM is a half day
of suffering.  Maybe one day I'll feel differently, but chances are,
if you have the taste for iron, you won't get it out of your system
until you do an iron distance race.

As for your mothers worries, I think the real health issues that come
up with going long are the simple overuse injuries like ITB, knee
problems, plantar fascitis, etc.  These probably aren't the kind of
injuries that will concern a parent, but they will botch up your
training either before or after your race.  Therefore, if you do
pursue your goal, I'd reccomend that you make sure your running form
is good - if it's not then spend the fall and winter focussing on
that.  Hook up with John Stewart for some one-on-one form coaching or
at least check out Evolution Running by Ken Mierke. (I also swear by
regular massages and ART Therapy to stave off overuse injuries).

Good luck, and keep us posted on what you decide to do.

Emily

PS There are probably a few ways you could buy some "free speed":  1)
join a Masters Swim class; 2) consult with a professional fitter to
get a good aero position on your bike; and 3) improve your running
form.

wherever you get it from, I second the Revolution!  I know they carry them at JackRabbit and you can find them online.  Probably not something you're going to find at a Target or Babies R Us.

ah finally amidst all the intense training emails one i can answer!

if your baby jogger budget can swing $3-400 look no further than the  revolution bob.  available at jackrabbit.

it rocks.  and has plenty of add-ons if you wish to keep sinking money into it.

Just show up next week! The doors to the pool open at 6:30 - so the
earlier you get in the more you can get out of the next hour. Usually
the building opens at about 6:15 am. There are lockers but it's VERY
safe - I don't use a lock and have no worries.

Bring a towel and shower supplies - this ain't Equinox!
