Hi - Not tri related but cycling related: does anyone know of a good website to get live updates on the Tour de France? I can't find any good sites. The...
I live across the river and am planning to take a cab to the race site Sunday morning. If you live in Hoboken & are interested in sharing the cab with me and a...
Am interested in advice from those who have raced NYC tri before re swim tactics. Is it better to swim close to the sea wall, irrespective of the current, or...
Better to swim away from the sea wall. Swimming closer to the wall will put you in the mild current that pushes toward the wall and makes it harder to swim in...
Speaking of tides.......does anyone know what the tide is likely to be doing on Sunday morning for the NYC Tri ?? Seems like low tide will be around 6.00 AM...
I see it as low tide at 6:38. Either way, this isn't great news. As we (Basil and I) start at 6:32, we won't have the tide pulling us along. We'll be swimming...

Will someone please explain this tide stuff? I don't understand. Can you give a general explanation? Also, what will it mean for me? I start at 6:04 AM!!!...

If anyone is looking to race on Sunday and doesn't have a number, let me know....
Although I normally don't subscribe to the various spins manufacturers make for their products, I must say I find e-caps commentaries the most credible amongst...
Yes, not to repeat any of the other posts but VERY approximately -- if you have carbo-fueled well - you might have 400g of TOTAL glycogen of which 100g would...
