A couple of action shots from the NYC Duathlon...
-> Irwin

Hi All,

Has anyone on the list had bunion surgery?

I just had it on Tuesday (right foot). Recovery seems steady, but slow. I'm
wondering when I'll be able to drive, swim, bike and eventually run.

Anyone have any experiences, advice or tips to share for a speedy recovery?

I completed my first triathlon at Harriman on Sunday and am anxiously
awaiting recovery so I can start training again. It was such a fun
experience! Thanks to my WCC Supporters, Frank Grasso and Irwin Sheer, and
my race partner, Susan Chan. You all inspired me and kept me going!

Hope to see you everyone again soon.

Caryn Rossi-Louie

I've updated the results section to report "age placement" rather
than "overall placement." The new file has replaced the previous
version in the files section (same path as below).

Thanks to John Cool for the suggestion.

Subject: Important Update: Yahoo! Groups Service Changes



*** PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL ***

Dear Yahoo! Groups Moderator,

Important update: The new date for service changes is August 21, 2003.

You are receiving this notice because you are a moderator of one or more
groups. Previously, we emailed you about upcoming service changes to Yahoo!
Groups. To give you more time to manage your files, we have pushed back the
date of these changes to August 21, 2003.

To continue offering you a high quality, free service, Yahoo! Groups is
making
the following changes:

Message Attachments:
Email attachments will no longer be archived in the Messages area, although
Yahoo! Groups will continue to deliver attachments sent by email.  On August
21st, all attachments in the Messages area will be removed, and Yahoo! will
be
unable to retrieve the data. Please note: All of your group messages will
remain. Only the attachments will be deleted.

Before August 21st, if you want to preserve them, you must move your old
message attachments. To do so, go to the Messages area and click on "Expand
Messages." This lets you view many attachments on one page so you can
download
them easily. Then you can upload them to the Files and Photos areas in your
groups. The Files and Photos features will allow you to better organize your
email attachments.


Files and Photos:
You will now need a web membership to access a group's Files and Photos
areas.
To make sure you have web memberships to all of your groups, please visit
this
page: http://groups.yahoo.com/memwiz


Add Members:
Although there is no membership limit for your group, we are changing the
Add
Members feature so you can add only 10 new members each day. You can
continue
to use the Invite Members feature to invite as many people to your group as
you
wish.

For more details on the service changes described above, please visit our
help
section http://help.yahoo.com/groups/groups-56.html.

We hope you will pass this notice along to your group's members so they are
aware of the changes. Thank you for your support as we continue to improve
Yahoo! Groups.


Sincerely,

The Yahoo! Groups Team

This has been experimentally verified!  I managed to knock 8 minutes
off of my bike split from last year.  Not all of it was the aerobars
but I'm sure that they had a significant effect...

Please add your du/tri accomplishments to the database section by
Wednesday 8/13 for newsletter publication.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone is planning on racing in the NYC Triathlon
on Sunday?
-> Irwin

Thanks for the advice.  I hooked up with TRRC on Saturday and there were
about 40 people out even though it was raining.  I was told that this was a
moderate showing.  The way the run works, out and back makes it easy to
run the  distance you want and with this many people it is easy to find
someone running at your pace.  Having water on the route is great as
figuring out hydration for a long run can be challenging.

I just got back from Greenwich point, planning on doing a practice
swim before Sunday. The water is closed because of bacterial
contamination. Threads and treads was clueless, didn't even know it
had happened. They finally decided they will do a run-bike-run if it
is still closed.
The town of Greenwich beach closure hotline is 203-622-7855.
I decided that any water that may or may be too poluted to swim in
is water i dont want to swim in even if it is open. Will do Harriman
or West Point.

To all,

Any last minute advice/tips regarding diet and exercise for the week
before a triathlon/duathlon for us first-timers?

Thanks!!
Susan
