I just got a chuckle out of that Subject.
But seriously, how do you practice mounting your bike barefooted? I’ve heard that I should find a golf course and practice on that soft grass. All of the golf courses here, in the desert, would shoot me if I rode my bike on the grass.
How did you learn? How long did it take you?

Does anybody know what the difference is between a base building workout and an interval workout?

My wife and I have decided to start training for a Triathlon as an incentive/goal for fitness and weight loss. I am 28 and a Chef, and she is 25 and a homemaker. I am an ex-Marine, and I suffered a Knee injury while in the Corps (this was 8 years ago). Its been a few years since I did any running, and I’ve noticed that while my knee is healed and my Dr. has no problem with me excersizing I still get quite alot of knee pain while running. I plan to try using a Patella tendon strap while I run tonight, but I was wondering if anyone knows about any good excersizes for knees or have any other ideas for workin out with knee pain.

Are swim paddles and/or fins good to use in training?
Are they really that useful?
What are the benefits?
Disadvantages?

Any advice/insight appreciated.

I wanted to get some feedback from other Ontriers that actually get to bike hills in their training, do you stand or gear up and pedal faster to get up hills? I asked this in another thread and decided to post it as a new thread to see what the general concensus is, and why it works.

Where would go to find inexpensive or free spinning workouts in podcast form?

Ok so my best friend and I are camping @ Gunstock but we don’t bring any food so we go to a little pizza/sandwich place not far from the campground to get a sandwich to go. We go inside and there are 2 tri peeps waiting for their to go food, one looks familiar, I didn’t realize it was Chrissie until the other tri guy says hey your CW, she looks different in person. We all start talking while waiting for our food. The service is sloooowww,I don’ mind but she had been waiting for awhile.She forgot to tell the waitress something so she went to the window where the cook was making the food to tell him and the waitress damn near jumped her! she was soooo rude to CW and we were all like does’nt she know who that is??? obviously not! a few more minutes go by and we are still waiting, the waitress walks by CW, looks at her bare feet and tells her she can’t be in the place w/bare feet, she’s been there for 15-20 mins already. CW does not know what to do, she still wants her food but h
as to go outside to wait, I felt so bad for her. I went outside to talk to her and told her not all New Englanders are that rude, she is the nicest person, down to earth. I would have told the waitress to stuff it. The waitress brings her food but it’s the wrong order!! so now she is outside w/ the wrong food, no shoes, kicked out of the place and treated very rudely. What does a good New Englander do…I give her my flip flops! she goes inside to tell the cook that its wrong and he is rude to her!! The poor girl just can’t win. She still keeps her cool, finally gets her food and gives me back my flip flops….my now lucky flip flops…I attribute my new PR to my bare feet touching her bare feet…I will never wash my feet again!! LOL Afterward I told my best friend that I should have gotten a picture w/her so the next day as she was waiting for me at the race she sees Crissie after she won and literally grabs her, takes her picture for me then hugs her and says its from me.
She has got to think we are psyco!! especially if I see her in Hawaii.By the way she was 6th overall, beating most of the male pro’s!!!

I have heard that they are using nitrogen gas for car tire to save gas etc.
Does anyone know if there would be any advantage to use nitrogen gas on tubular or clincher tires? Will it harm the rubber on bike tires or tubes?
Any input would be great.
Always in search of the need for speed!
