Helping to post for Bike to the Beach for Autism. If you are looking to do your first century ride, this is a good way to train with a group!

“Bike to the Beach for Autism” on August 2, 2019 is a fully supported 100, 50 or 25-mile charity cycling event starting in downtown DC and ending at Dewey Beach, DE. The event supports both local and na…[Read more]

RunBikeDavid replied to the topic 2019/2020 Board of Directors Nominations in the forum Club Management 8 months, 1 week ago

I would like to nominate myself, David Jiang, for the DC Tri Club Board. I’ve been a member of the club since 2014 when I did NTP and was hooked. Since then, I’ve benefited from various programs including Masters Swim, the winter marathon training group, off-season spin, and most recently the Ironman program. After gaining so much through DC Tri,…[Read more]

RunBikeDavid replied to the topic Ironman Mont Tremblant in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 9 months, 3 weeks ago

Thought I would give a spectator report for IMMT. 🙂 I unfortunately cannot give a race report but as a spectator, it was quite confusing with everything in metric even in the Ironman tracker app!

Some other thoughts:

The swim transition seemed awfully long. I think I read 800 yards. I’m not sure if this is typical of Ironman races but the…

RunBikeDavid replied to the topic Ironman Mont Tremblant in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 10 months, 1 week ago

I unfortunately got into a bike accident so my tapering started early! I thought it would be fun to try out my new commute to Reston and wiped out on the way home. It has made me reflect on training smarter and taking less risks, particularly for someone that is accident prone like myself.

I still plan to go up and cheer as I think it will be a…[Read more]

A friend can no longer do the Marine Corps Marathon and is looking to sell her bib through the transfer process. If anyone is interested, I’ll send you her email. She’s asking for the price of the bib ($165) and you’ll have to pay the transfer fee.

RunBikeDavid started the topic Run walk intervals in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 12 months ago

In case anyone is interested in Jeff Galloway’s recommended run-walk intervals referenced in the running seminar:

Magic Mile

I still have to work on my ego for the run-walk. 🙂 I noticed that it has some short intervals. Is there a benefit to the short intervals? Would, say, a 4 min run and 1 min walk be…[Read more]

RunBikeDavid started the topic Threshold tests in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 12 months ago

It’s been fun learning about heart zone training but I’m never quite sure if I am doing the threshold test correctly.

For the bike threshold test, are you supposed to do it at a particular resistance or cadence? I think my earlier tests I may have done it at too high of a resistance which may have caused my threshold to be lower. This time I used…

RunBikeDavid replied to the topic Open Water Swim Clinic (Nutrition & Run Performance Clinics) – May 5th in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 1 year, 1 month ago

I found the nutrition clinic helpful with things like eating small bites at regular intervals, having more complex carbs, and that peanut butter is the solution! Need to work more on nutrition with upcoming long rides and races.

Didn’t do PeasantMan but did do the Kinetic half practice ride with a little bit extra. Started out a bit too fast.…[Read more]

Anyone else doing Garrett County Gran Fondo? Would be fun to ride or share a house together! If you’ve never done it before, it’s a beautiful, hilly ride around Deep Creek, Maryland and you get to ride part of the SavageMan course.
