What kind of bars are they? And where did you get them? I may want to add some to my new wheels one of these days.
Glad you are getting back into the swing of things. Only a little over a week until another tri - you'll be ready for a break for sure!

They are Oval Slam Bars, I like them because I don't have to stretch the lower back as much. They're GRRRRREAT!

I'm leaving work VERY shortly! I'm so stoked to get out there. My sprint is a week from Sunday, so a quick turn around.

Eric, your reports of your experience and the training are very inspiring. I'm looking forward to reading about your Sprint. I really need to read this forum regularly. Maybe we need to combine this one with "Running" and some others and have a "Steady State Cardio" one for everyone around here who can't help catabolizing their muscles!  Great job!! |

Agreed Dave. Totally agreed. It's nice to have a small group that thinks the same way.

It is nice to have a bunch of us who enjoy some or all aspects of this stuff.
It is gaining though, Johnka and Mike Roussell, both mention an interest in adventure racing in this weeks fitcast.
Hey..where are those pics eMartin?

You should have seen me before, I weighed 180 or so lbs, now I'm 164. I started 3 years ago at 210. So I've lost a ton weight!

I was a fatty. Very very fatty. I'm happy with how far I've come. It's amazing how much you can make fitness (especially triathlon) your lifestyle, with the right people around you, and some will power, it's pretty easy. And it's a lot better than being fat!
