Ooof, if there’s now a track workout two blocks from my new house I may have to seriously consider coming out even though I haven’t run at all since my son Leo was born this time last year!

Hey all,

Has anyone heard anything about whether or not the Total 200 will happen in 2021 and when they plan on having it? Just curious, the lack of option to do it last year somehow makes me want to suffer this year. Thanks all.

Hey all,

So I have a big (25in x 17in x 15in) of miscellaneous Tri and bike gear to give away, but I lack to patience to give it away piece by piece so you need to take the whole box. Everything in there is either new or barely used, the highlights are LG Chrono Leggera aero helmet size large, Wellgo SPD equivalent clipless pedals, Pearl Izumi…[Read more]

Mark Raugust replied to the topic Bike insurance in the forum New Triathlete Program (NTP) for Paid Participants 6 years, 6 months ago

Also if you buy a new U-lock from a major brand you can also buy bike theft insurance that way. How much coverage you get depends on how nice a lock you buy and there’s a small additional charge. You will need to register for the insurance with proof of purchase for both the bike and lock. It’s secondary coverage that kicks in after any othe…[Read more]

Mark Raugust replied to the topic Bikes 102 Handout Thread in the forum New Triathlete Program (NTP) for Paid Participants 6 years, 6 months ago

I also would recommend a set from the profile designs T+ series primarily because they are the most adjustable. You either want to purchase a set that can have a wide range of adjustments or a set that a bike fitter has specifically recommended for your measurements. You also don’t want to get a cheap set because if the aero bars slip mid rid…[Read more]

Tip if you swallow water: If you swallow water and have to cough it up, don’t lift your head out of the water, if you lift your head out of the water you will do the whole full body spasm coughing fit thing, if you keep your head completely under water your body will gently cough it up and your body won’t let you swallow any more water.
