Nike+ is great.

Nike+ is great.

I got the Nike+ beginning of the year, used it a couple times and diitched it. Even though I calibrated it like they said, it was WAY off (like 3 miles in 13) when I used it in the OC Half Marathon. Been in the drawer since, and went back to my Garmin.

My tri friend M who I have been riding with a lot recently finished 6th in a very competitive age group, and was 3rd swimmer out of the water in her wave at the Mission Bay Triathlon over the weekend.

Another friend who did the race commented: "lots of pricey and cool bikes out there without a quality rider on them. i passed people on my measly 21mph avg who were on felt DA's & cervelo p3c's with discs and 808's and aero helmets etc. i swear one guy i passed couldn't have been going more than 17 on fiesta on his specialized s-works with a disc."

I had SO wanted to do this race as my first tri, but instead was over at North Island waiting with my daughter for the USS Nimitz to come back in from a 6 mo deployment.

CRB was down yesterday afternoon for an appointment, so we met for an easy-paced 5.75 mi run in Del Mar along the beach.

I don't get it. How do ride with clipless pedals and running shoes?

Maybe they were all saving themselves for the run?

Good to know. I'll probably use it for a while to get into running since all the pretty charts and graphs still motivate me.

Is M the one you did the Anaheim ride with, or the one who moved to Newportish?

Very carefully.

M is the one that did the Anaheim-Solana Beach ride. CRB is the one that just started working in Newport Beach.

You and Jschen need to keep a running lexicon of names/initials. I'm so confused!!! http://starwarsloser.info/smile/confused/confused0080.gif (http://www.squidoo.com/seonorwich)

M is just the initial of my friends first name (it was easier). CRB is an acronym for "cute running buddy", who was the little vietnamese woman than I trained a lot over the past year and the one that I bought the 44 sm Trek for.

Good morning Socal!!

Good morning, Crash :) and others. :)

Is M the one you did the Anaheim ride with, or the one who moved to Newportish?Not sure, but M is the one that will be doing Tour de Poway. So now are you in, Volt? :D

Ohio

Good morning!

My fever is gone, yeah! Came to work early today too at 7:30. Haven't done that in a long time.

So we're just "others" now? I guess the post h0s are too good for the rest of us.

Hmm...do I become a poseur and buy the Team CSC kit that Competitive Cyclist has on sale to go along with my Cervelo?

That's right dawg....recognize....

I'm boycotting Competitive Cyclist. They don't carry stuff for wimmin. Cuz we're have no money and we don't know how to ride bikes. :rolleyes:

Hmm...do I become a poseur and buy the Team CSC kit that Competitive Cyclist has on sale to go along with my Cervelo?PBK (used to?) have CSC stuff on clearance. You may want to check that out. :D

A lot of the times when I google for specific clothing reviews, I see links to TE (albeit the women's version, not the men's).

We work hard to spread our...um...posts all over So Cal. So, yes, we are special. :p

But you girls have Team Estrogen. A lot of the times when I google for specific clothing reviews, I see links to TE (albeit the women's version, not the men's).

I don't shop at TE too often. A lot of their gear is very "girly girl" and they don't have a lot of stock from the European brands I like (Giordana, Assos, Nalini, Campagnolo...). Not to say the brands they carry are bad, it's just that American sizes don't usually fit me and I find the Euro makers use better fabrics. I order from Team Cyclist a lot (and a few ebay sellers I've bookmarked.)

BTW, if you guys need apparel reviews, you have to start posting them with your own threads! :p

Sexual harassment class at our office this morning = free food. The workweek starts off good.

PBK (used to?) have CSC stuff on clearance. You may want to check that out. :D

But I remember at one time they would not ship Team CSC gear to the US. And CC has the the bib shorts and jersey for $90!!

good morning all!!!

Hi Jeff. Is it Friday yet?

not yet, one day closer though!!!

Hi Jeff. Is it Friday yet?

It's Friday? !! Yeah

not yet, one day closer though!!!

Oh bummer

kinda scared of the weekend, doing that poway century....I havn't rode a century since January....I'm a slacker LMAO

.I'm a slacker LMAO

Careful how you use that word. Ever since Indolent's ride, the term "slacker" has come to mean "24mph Hammerhead"

No kidding. We need a real slacker ride organized. You know? One where we only ride 19-20mph the whole way. :rolleyes:

for both the miles or just the first one?

Come again? :o

Come again? :o

I could get up to those "Slacker" speeds for a two mile ride, maybe.... Thus the reference to the first mile and the second.

:lol: Oh, got it. ;) I'm blonde, you know. :p

Don't blame me. I tried. At least we had lots of long stops making the total average speed really slow.

slow? Try flat-lined. :D

my bike journal milage is embarrassing.....only 1,073 miles so far this yr......

Nonsense, Jeff. That isn't embarrassing at all. You're a strong rider and your rides have been quality based. :D

thanks for the kind words:D to me the numbers are deceiving though compared to other yrs. Doens't help when I had 2 jobs for most of the yr either. That really cut into my riding time. But that will all change next week.
