I have been busy & not been able to go, but am now interested in swimming
sat/sunday mornings. I have a wet suit & hopefully able to stand the cold water.
Is there a few people still swimming at brighton beach & at what time?

I use it all the time for running and biking (with cadence chip).
It's great!
I can program my runs in it before and it beeps to tell me the schedule, to speed up/slow down etc.
I highly recommend it!!

Amazon is selling the Garmin Forerunner 305 for half off. Has anyone had any experience with this watch?

Thanks,
Aaron

it's probably more sweat-friendly than the 405.

I had PT at Professional after a shoulder fracture. My particular therapist was quite good, but as PT often goes, it all depends on the therapist. I had gotten a recommendation from a friend who went there before me.

I am at the very tip of the ChiRunning iceberg... but what I feel in my body so
far... I like

I particularly like this blog post about the relaxation and recovery, certain
yoga poses offer us.. after long runs; and I am sure they would be helpful after
taxing our bodies on rides or swims.

Relaxation feels so good once you have earnt it!

Thanks Ray, for give me the tip to check out ChiRunning.

Weekday Evenings
  • 6:30-7:30 pm or 8 to 9pm

Hey Folks,
The weather looks perfect for a nice run tonight in the park. As
usual, we meet at grand army plaza, inside the park, at 7pm. Count on
one loop of the park with maybe some hill repeats at the end if we're
feeling a little wild and crazy.

See you there,
Jonathan

Great email! Thank you John and Ann.

On Nov 15, 2009, at 6:27 PM, John Stewart wrote:



Thanks for this Ann. This is an example imho of someone who knows how the swim stroke works. All their points are spot on, really well said.
 
There are some other things Jodie does very well that each of us can easily (okay, with lots of practice) implement:
1)      Her HEAD IS VERY STEADY when not breathing, and the water surface is right at the top of her head.
2)      She has done CORE/POSTURE work that leads to a bodyline that does not drop at any point.
3)      GOGGLE IN THE WATER when breathing.
4)      While her turnover is fast (at 90spm, probably faster than most of us can maintain), her CATCH IS THE SLOWEST PART. Her hand/forearm drop down into position gradually (relative speed to the rest of the stroke) as you can see best in the overhead shot. Then, once her catch is in position, she accelerates back with power.
5)      Her fingers point to the bottom throughout the stroke and her PULL FINISHES WITH PALM FACING BACK, as you can see in the underwater shots.
6)      She ROTATES EVENLY TO BOTH SIDES, never over-rotating.
7)      She starts her BREATHS EARLY. Slow down the video and you’ll see her start to look to her breathing side before her opposite hand enters the water. She MUST do this to keep this fast rhythm.
8)      She uses a SIX BEAT KICK, and her knees never drop below her bodyline. This is NARROW. From the front end shots, only the tops of her feet are visible.
 
Note 1: Her TURNOVER RATE IS NOT THE FIRST CONCERN here. Her ability to maintain this turnover (and have it make her faster) relies on everything else she has practiced. If you start with fast arms but you rotate too far, or your catch isn’t set up well like Jodie’s, or your kick drops below your bodyline, you will slow down and be worn out. Practice these things at a slow pace and master them there. As coach Bill Sweetenham says in the first paragraph of Championship Swim Training: Every hand and arm movement is slow to fast. The learning process must therefore be slow to fast. If the swimmer can’t do it efficiently at low speed, he or she won’t be able to do it efficiently at high speed.
 
Note 2: If you want to try out swimming with various stroke rates and see which one might work best for you (a fast turnover is not the best thing for everyone), pick up a swim metronome. It’s a little round device that tucks inside your swim cap that you can set for any frequency you like.

Thanks for this Ann. This is an example imho of someone who knows how the swim stroke works. All their points are spot on, really well said.

 

There are some other things Jodie does very well that each of us can easily (okay, with lots of practice) implement:

1)      Her HEAD IS VERY STEADY when not breathing, and the water surface is right at the top of her head.

2)      She has done CORE/POSTURE work that leads to a bodyline that does not drop at any point.

3)      GOGGLE IN THE WATER when breathing.

4)      While her turnover is fast (at 90spm, probably faster than most of us can maintain), her CATCH IS THE SLOWEST PART. Her hand/forearm drop down into position gradually (relative speed to the rest of the stroke) as you can see best in the overhead shot. Then, once her catch is in position, she accelerates back with power.

5)      Her fingers point to the bottom throughout the stroke and her PULL FINISHES WITH PALM FACING BACK, as you can see in the underwater shots.

6)      She ROTATES EVENLY TO BOTH SIDES, never over-rotating.

7)      She starts her BREATHS EARLY. Slow down the video and you’ll see her start to look to her breathing side before her opposite hand enters the water. She MUST do this to keep this fast rhythm.

8)      She uses a SIX BEAT KICK, and her knees never drop below her bodyline. This is NARROW. From the front end shots, only the tops of her feet are visible.

 

Note 1: Her TURNOVER RATE IS NOT THE FIRST CONCERN here. Her ability to maintain this turnover (and have it make her faster) relies on everything else she has practiced. If you start with fast arms but you rotate too far, or your catch isn’t set up well like Jodie’s, or your kick drops below your bodyline, you will slow down and be worn out. Practice these things at a slow pace and master them there. As coach Bill Sweetenham says in the first paragraph of Championship Swim Training: Every hand and arm movement is slow to fast. The learning process must therefore be slow to fast. If the swimmer can’t do it efficiently at low speed, he or she won’t be able to do it efficiently at high speed.

 

Note 2: If you want to try out swimming with various stroke rates and see which one might work best for you (a fast turnover is not the best thing for everyone), pick up a swim metronome. It’s a little round device that tucks inside your swim cap that you can set for any frequency you like.

This is a fantastic video, brought to you by Swim Smooth, a swimming blog out of
Perth Australia that I learned about thanks to a previous post by a BTC member.

***ACTION ALERT 11.9.09*** NYSDOT Proposing Widespread Use of Rumble Strips on Secondary Highways, Posing New Hazards to Bicyclists

Contact NYSDOT and Your Legislators—Urge NYSDOT Not to Jeopardize the Safety of Its Roadway Users!

Rumble Strips may cause safety hazards for cyclistsCURRENT NYSDOT POLICY: Do not install rumble strips on secondary roads except in rare instances

PROPOSED NYSDOT POLICY: Installation of rumble strips will be the preferred practice in the design of all secondary roads with a few exceptions

RUMBLE STRIPS are a well-documented hazard to bicyclists. Accepted practice nationwide dictates that rumble strips be used only sparingly on roads permitting cycling.

NYSDOT is proposing an Engineering Instruction (EI), titled “Secondary Highway Audible Roadway Delineators – Guidance and Policy,” which is at variance with the practices recommended by the Federal Highway Administration, The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and other standards setting agencies. Such national agencies generally recommend if rumble strips to be used on two-lane roads if there is a documented run-off-the road accident problem—and then, used only as a last resort due to the hazards they may create for other roadway users, including bicyclists.

Contact NYSDOT and your legislators to urge NYSDOT to not issue the proposed policy. Ask them to work with groups, such as the New York Bicycling Coalition, organizers of bicycling tours and events, and local cycling clubs to construct a less hostile policy that better balances the needs of motorist and bicyclist safety.

BACKGROUND: Rumble strips, as illustrated, are audible roadway delineators or indentations in the shoulder pavement that make sound when a car runs over them at high speeds. While an important safety tool used to prevent run-offs on high-speed Interstates and other limited access highways, they are a well-documented hazard to individuals on bicycles and should be used only sparingly on roads permitting cycling. NYSDOT is proposing to replace current stated policy -- not have rumble strips on secondary roads except in rare instances -- with a new one declaring "installation of shoulder rumble strips to be the preferred practice in the design of all secondary highways" with a few exceptions.

In short, the proposal would have NYSDOT install rumble strips (with certain exceptions) on secondary roadways throughout New York State, compromising bicyclists’ safety and the quality of riding surfaces on thousands of miles otherwise scenic roadways. National practice is to have rumble strips nowhere with some exceptions on secondary roadways. By taking the opposite tack, NYSDOT's policy promiscuously promotes rumble strips, going far beyond what is seen as efficient deployment. Aside from the policy's cost implications, it is unwise. It means rumble strips in urban areas, creating or adding to the din. It means rumble strips on roads with speeds too low to generate sound. Rumble strips also mean higher maintenance costs for the taxpayer. And, of course, they pose a danger to cyclists by causing spills, erratic avoidance maneuvers, or causing them to avoid the shoulder and ride mingled in automobile traffic.

A check of other states with such secondary highway policies shows they require an accident analysis be done before such rumble strip use; the proposed NYSDOT policy does not. Other states specify where rumble strips are used, have at least 5 feet of paved shoulder between them and any guardrail; the proposed NYSDOT policy does not. Other states say not to even consider rumble strips unless there are high speeds and high traffic volumes: while the proposed NYSDOT policy does have speed and volume thresholds, they are considerably lower than those of any other state. There are dozens of other such examples in this EI where the proposed policy varies from generally accepted practice.

Contact NYSDOT and your legislators to urge NYSDOT to not issue the proposed policy TODAY. Call, write, or email (or utilize all 3 methods of communication) your Assembly Member, State Senator and the Commissioner of Transportation.

Hi everyone.

I contacted Prospect Park to set up a volunteer activity for BTC members since I
figured we have all spent enough time in the Park this year and it would be nice
to give back just a little.

This Sunday is the last chance we have to volunteer as a group before they start
up again in Spring.

For anyone interested, we will be taking part in a trash and leaf clean up from
10 am to 2 pm. We need to meet up with volunteers from NY Cares at the 9th
street entrance off of Prospect Park West at 10 am.

If you are interested in participating, please RSVP to brooklynbrenda@...
by Friday (Nov 13th). I need to give Prospect Park a head count from our group.

If you do plan on coming out, wear your BTC jersey! Also, lunch is not provided
so if you get hungry (like I will) you may want to pack a sandwich. I asked that
we clean up near the loop so that we are visible to other bike riders and
runners.

Weather for Sunday is looking amazing - 64 degrees and sunny!

Bring on the rakes and leaf baggin'

I'm selling my 2007 Guru Crono Frameset.  I've had the bike since around November 2006 and it saw limited use during the 2007 and 2008 seasons (I was injured), it did get used a bit more during the 2009 season though.  The frame has a brand new paint job that was just put on by Guru after the previous paint job had developed a few cracks.  While the frame was at Guru's factory it was stripped of all paint, inspected, and found to be in fine working order.  I custom designed the frame for myself when ordering the bike, I'm 5'9 with long legs, a short torso and good flexibility.  If you're of this build or possibly a little bit shorter and of more average proportions and less than stellar flexibility the bike should work fine for you.  The bike rides like a dream, soaks up road vibration and transfers power beautifully.
 
The bike's geometry is as follows:
Stack: 523mm
Reach: 421mm
Head Tube: 111mm
Top Tube: 527mm
Seat Tube: 498mm
BB Drop: 80mm
 
Some pictures are attached, frame, fork (Easton EC90 Aero), headset seatpost are included.  The seatpost wasn't installed when I shot the photos.
Selling price is $2K, the frame retails for more than $4K new.  Please let me know if you are interested, you can certainly see the bike in person before committing to anything.  I'll probably put the frame on ebay in a couple weeks if I can't find a buyer locally.
 
Thanks!
Jonathan
