The HR monitor stopped working towards the end of my run but I think it the HR monitor. I am thinking of upgrading to the 910 XT for the smaller size and swimming functions. http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=32757739-E36D-33A5-0CF72603351444C1&last=1 gardengirl Tue, 21 May 2013 12:54 PM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=CFFBC6A9-C09A-383B-E2FAA58BB0B9F78F&last=1 05/21/2013 at 11:56 AM - Stuff for sale!

(Free to NTP’er or newbie.) Worn during 3-4 races. There are a few small tears – the result of my first attempt to try it on. According to Xterra, should not impact performance.

Sounds fun! http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=C8893EC0-B95A-A7A1-E40E221B0AB2A6EF&last=1 tgalbert Tue, 21 May 2013 10:16 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=C9A7231F-99FB-77C8-ACE42FC2A18387E8&last=1 05/21/2013 at 9:03 AM - Fun! Two ideas: 1) Try selling it in the classifieds section of the forum. I'm sure there are some folks looking for a commuter. 2) If you do a trade, focus on a frame that fits you well and you enjoy riding (test several!), then focus on components. Don't worry about the wheels. You can always upgrade those later. http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=C9A7231F-99FB-77C8-ACE42FC2A18387E8&last=1 pserfass Tue, 21 May 2013 9:03 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=C394CBC2-DD27-800A-C0536EE9FA18F2BB&last=1 05/21/2013 at 9:00 AM - Wow, that was quite a crew out there. Several groups doing different workouts. I hope this is the trend we'll be seeing for the rest of the summer! http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=C394CBC2-DD27-800A-C0536EE9FA18F2BB&last=1 pserfass Tue, 21 May 2013 9:00 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=C88228D0-D5E5-63CC-2CF8D56C454A6B03&last=1 05/21/2013 at 8:27 AM - If you haven't RSVPd for the member meeting next week, do so ASAP!

I thought I reach out to the larger DC Tri community too. So join us if you can. We will be riding tomorrow (5/21). Here's the info: Location: Tennis Court Parking Lot (corner of Buckeye and Ohio Drive) Pace: 16-18 mph Clip-in Time: 6PM (If you want to come late, just let me know like 30 mins before 6PM and I will be on the lookout for you when we come around the parking lot). -David Eng deng05 at gmail dot com http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=B1995991-D0AE-F6BF-F97B119FEFE46325&last=1 bronxking Mon, 20 May 2013 9:46 PM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=9A883D56-0C31-B0DE-F7792CBD81E6ED81&last=1 05/20/2013 at 3:14 PM - I actually have one I'm willing to part with! It's a 2009 Trek 4300 Women's Series, hardly used. Feel free to email me (brittany.o.williams@gmail.com) http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=9A883D56-0C31-B0DE-F7792CBD81E6ED81&last=1 BrittOpal Mon, 20 May 2013 3:14 PM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=6422677D-060D-E8EB-A3907CA98C932B51&last=1 05/20/2013 at 3:05 PM - Folks on the forum last year were very helpful when I was considering doing my first non-drivable race last year https://www.dctriclub.org//forum/messages.cfm?tid=C47B831D-BE64-18C6-AD9A59FDA0E3D196 , so I will summarize what I learned: 1) Some members will rent or lend you their hard bike case for cheap. 2) If you ship or check your bike always bring your shoes, pedals, helmet with you as carryon. 3) The cheapest reliable option is to go to your local LBS and ask them for an extra cardboard bike box then ship it back and forth to yourself via UPS or FedEx. The LBS might even be willing to help you dissassemble and pack it for free depending on the shop and how well you know them. Tri-bike transport super expensive and not universally available. Tr-bike rental is the same deal REI also will ship bikes for cheaper, but again not always available. Hard cases: are expensive and only worth buying if you will fly to a bunch of races or plan on renting out your case. Soft cases: lots of people use them without issue, but I would still be nervous about it. So while I ultimately did not wind up racing Rocketman and did Monticelloman instead, if I ever do decide to fly to a race I will probably rent a hard case from a club member or do the cardboard bike box shipping option depending on my hotel plans and if I will be renting a car for the race. http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=6422677D-060D-E8EB-A3907CA98C932B51&last=1 mjraugust Mon, 20 May 2013 3:05 PM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=A31BB5CE-A62A-A380-25208719B375FE40&last=1 05/20/2013 at 3:01 PM - I really love my new club kit, I got the performance racer tri top in small size and I'm thinking in getting the cycling jersey but I'm not sure which size should I get. Is it similar sizing to the tri top? Should I get the same size or go higher? Does any one has both and can give any feedback? Thanks. http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=A31BB5CE-A62A-A380-25208719B375FE40&last=1 gabroe Mon, 20 May 2013 3:01 PM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=9A3CFC02-C5DA-69A5-BCD887D2BFB8B170&last=1 05/20/2013 at 11:53 AM - Check out the Hilton Head tri club about 45 mins away: https://www.facebook.com/onontri also Savannah has a great 50m pool that serves many area triathletes. I think you can just pay a small drop-in fee and they have free parking: http://aquatic.chathamcounty.org/ Also if you can get out there, go for a ride to Tybee Island. I super highly recommend going here for dinner: http://www.sundaecafe.com/ Have fun! http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=9A3CFC02-C5DA-69A5-BCD887D2BFB8B170&last=1 04swiger Mon, 20 May 2013 11:53 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=98803ACB-044D-90A4-E777420CE428F900&last=1 05/20/2013 at 10:05 AM - A roommate is moving out and we now have a basement room available for rent in our house in Clarendon/VA Square. I'm a DC Tri member (newbie triathlete). The other roommates are a runner and a pilates enthusiast. It's a pretty active house overall, in between jobs and social activities.
