By changing your leg position slightly, you'll use different muscles and your legs'll be a little (a little) less fatigued for the run. And think about making circles with your feet, don't mash the pedals!jasonauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079831892936086217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-89303594693315076282007-05-17T12:25:00.000-04:002007-05-17T12:25:00.000-04:00Hey Charlie!

I don't know why I get all timid. I totally could have taken all three down--you know if it had come to fist a cuffs.<BR/><BR/>Bikes are pricey no doubt. <BR/>But I can't say Pop would be willing to let anything go since you are not in the family. It is all about the family, you know. If you can do a genealogy search and somehow prove you are related I might be better able to help you.<BR/><BR/>And see Pop is totally like your dad on stuff like clothes but when it comes to atheletics, sporting goods, electronics, tools and what not he jumps at the chance to shop.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-82226181035520053882007-05-17T09:42:00.000-04:002007-05-17T09:42:00.000-04:00Wes I pull no punches because I am very strict wit...Wes I pull no punches because I am very strict with my own kids about staying to the right and being respectful of other people out there. It isn't easy at all and results in a a lot of yelling on my part but I figure that is better than someone getting hurt. If we see the cyclist or hear a warning both Carmella and Beau stop and get off the trail. Beau salutes them as they go by.<BR/><BR/>It was a good workout yesterday. <BR/><BR/>Wish I could join you guys in Callaway but it is too soon for me.<BR/><BR/>Oh and Big Peach (East Cobb) location is having a tri seminar next Monday--the 21st at 7 pm. If you are interested go to their site and register to attend. It is free.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-38914593390510172712007-05-17T09:39:00.000-04:002007-05-17T09:39:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-19700396284521243622007-05-17T09:33:00.000-04:002007-05-17T09:33:00.000-04:00Doug was just complaining about the stroller briga...Doug was just complaining about the stroller brigade yesterday too!! Apparently afternoons are the worst.<BR/><BR/>As I recall, the few times we went strollering together, we stopped in single file to let everyone pass and then regrouped to chat. Not so these days. Those stroller ladies were just jealous of your speed or your cute outfit.<BR/><BR/>Doug or I will join you for the workshop on Mon. He doesn't think we should both go, but I do. I ordered both of the books Wes recommended from Amazon yesterday. Will share when they show up.StephBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643823696166648490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-39643691035003027552007-05-17T09:23:00.000-04:002007-05-17T09:23:00.000-04:00I am so glad I am not the only one who gets bent o...I am so glad I am not the only one who gets bent out of shape about people not following the rules on trails and roads. Drives me crazy.<BR/><BR/>So, if I let Pop keep it with his fleet, will he buy me a bike? That is SO not at all like my Dad. My Dad would say, "we have a perfectly good 1940s' model out in the shed.

I luv the way you pull no punches with the stroller brigade. My first time on the Silver Comet, I just about ran over a little girl who was riding with 12 members of her family in the far left lane. When I say on your left, that means MOVE, and fast :-)<BR/><BR/>Dee Dee has decided to do Callaway with me, and she's seriously looking at Acworth too.

And then they have the calvary with them--tykes on bikes.<BR/><BR/>Hi Tiger! You know I've run before getting on the bike and I don't remember having a problem with it but it doesn't matter because it goes swim bike run in the tri. The distances are 400yd swim, 13 mile bike and 5k. I know I could do it all tomorrow if I had to but it wouldn't come so easy and I wouldn't do well.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-7287295559078135962007-05-16T22:26:00.000-04:002007-05-16T22:26:00.000-04:00Hahah What an Eventful first ride!!

Nice one! Same thing on the Comet. Running off the bike is definitely eye-opening but you can improve a lot by doing bricks. And by not expecting much for the first mile. It takes everybody a little while to get their stride going. Happy training!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
