My food on the bike was gels, chews, tailwind and a baggie of mixed real food- sourdough pretzel sticks, ginger snaps, almond snickers, kit kats, almond chocolate cups (think Reeces with almond butter) and chocolate covered ginger. I think for IMMD I’m going to leave the kit kats and snickers out and instead bring a wawa soft pretzel and more…[Read more]

Holy crap IMLP is in the books.  Here’s a not-so-brief race report if anyone is interested.

Thanks everyone for all your love and support.

It wasn’t the race of my dreams, but it was exactly the race I needed.  This was my fourth Ironman, and, despite being 4 hours off (yes, that’s hours not minutes!) my personal best, it is my most m…[Read more]

Thanks! It’s been super fun. The last month+ has been tough, but I’m excited to get to the mountains and try not to get stuck in the past.  It’ll be a long training day with food and friends!

I did do something crazy not too long ago.  I signed up for Ironman Maryland.  I’ll be joining y’all in September!

If anyone needs or knows of anyone who needs a last minute camping spot tonight or tomorrow, i have space at mine.  Site 21. My puppy is staying at home 🙁 and it’s a dog friendly site. Feel free to let HIM, Oly and NTP forums know if anyone’s in a bind.  Just text me so I know who’s coming . 2024239687. It’s just me and one housemate. We have r…[Read more]

Oh that’s a great suggestion! I’ll have to try PWF.

I really like Greenbelt.   It’s super close (to me) and has some solid hills.  On Weekdays, there are very few cars.  I can’t speak for weekends.

I’ve been struggling for motivation for my long ride this week, so yesterday I took my mountain bike out and rode 6 hours on the C&O Canal.  Not only…[Read more]

This is so sad.  I have so much respect for the work he did.  I’m planning on going tomorrow. Will anyone else be there?  Let me know if you’d like a ride.  I can fit 2 bikes in my van (so one more), or 4 if I ever fix my bike rack.  I live super close to Catholic Athletic complex, so if you’re within a few miles, I can swing by and get you in the morning.

Take 2 of the email:

Ironman sent this out today regarding on course nutrition.

I’m heading out of town this weekend, so i did long ride #1 today. It was waaaay too wet to ride outside so this was done on my trainer. Finally, some of this was scraped together because i haven’t been to a store in a few days – but, it worked out relatively well.

Here’s what I tried and learned:

Wired Cycling in Eckington has a class Tuesdays at 6:15am led by a DC Tri member and designed for triathletes. The class is awesome and the whole studio is super welcoming. I’ve been going religiously since they started the class in January. I highly recommend it. The class is called Spartan Strength.

I also go to the Friday 12pm class there too…[Read more]

I’m not on facebook, is there another way to get info on moco rides? What’s the details? I’d love to join you.

I rode bates and mccormack drives, behind the CU athletic complex and dc dump, today and had a similar experience with wind. I kept thinking about eagleman!

On sundays, the dump is closed so there’s almost no cars making  it great for…[Read more]

Rebecca had mentioned a study done on athletes consuming tart cherry juice after a workout to reduce inflamation,  I came across tart cherry extract pill supplement.  Has anyone tried the pills?   Any anecdotes?

Hey!

I love doing my long rides on the trainer….it’s safe, comfortable, easier logistics, takes less time.  I get a great workout in that I can do in my room, and still be able to be somewhat social with my housemates.  I did about 80% of my training for my 2nd IM on the trainer.  I got strong.

That being said, I know one of my hurdles is my…[Read more]

Thanks for the reminder! I grabbed a campsite. My housemates and puppy are coming along but if anyone’s in a bind with camping, we have a converted van that sleeps 4 to 5 (where most of us will likely be sleeping) plus some extra tent space. Let me know if anyone needs to pitch a tent with us.

On that note,  some of my collective  can help with k…[Read more]

Some of them are still available.  What are you looking for?  PM me.
