  1. I think suspended for the season makes sense based on what we know. Thats a pretty harsh punishment but also gives the kid a second chance (which likely improves the odds of him getting his shit together). Cast him off and who knows what road he goes down. But any additional slip up and he’s gone.
  2. Thanks bud! Nice to have a good result after a frustrating spring!
  3. I’d go for an older cervelo P2 or P3, or a felt b16 or something like that. Keep an eye on the slowtwitch classifieds. Here’s a couple 56cm options, not sure what size you need. 56 is generally good for people around 6’. https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Classifieds_F2/Garage_Sale_-_56cm_Felt_B16_Tri_Bike_/_Saddles_/Seatposts_And_More_P6882606/?page=unread#unread https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Classifieds_F2/FS%3A_2016_Felt_IA_14_and_2011_Cervelo_P3_P6939454/?page=unread#unread
  4. Not an idiot. Triathlon is fun. I really like the diversity of the training and being able to focus on one of 3 sports for blocks at a time. As said you don’t need to spend that much on a bike if you don’t want to. On the Tri note, anyone else doing CapTex on Monday?
  5. I think 20mpw is perfect. Any less than that won’t have your body ready for the pounding of increased mileage. Any any more than that and it becomes a real chore. I’d break that 20 up into 6 days of running. Three 2 mile runs (easy). Two 4 mile runs (these can be a little faster, but still keep them endurance paces). And one 6 mile run (in between pace of other 2 runs).
  6. Goldeneye House rules were: pistols, one shot kills, no auto aim, no sights. People that came over and weren’t used to this absolutely got their asses handed to them.
  7. Why do you start these threads? Are you having fun? Because it doesn’t seem like you’re having fun.
  8. Sorry to hear. Good on ya for being a good dad.
  9. Took my two boys to get haircuts today. As were checking out some old fat guy waiting asked my 6 year old if he was going to be an Aggy. Cooper just shook his head no at the bastard (I gave him a fist bump on the way out). Aggys are so weird.
  10. You’re telling me they still don’t have internet in Canada?
  11. Best way to get faster is to run more consistently/frequently. Best way to do that is to run easy. Don’t go out trying to do better than your last run every time. Slowly and carefully build your mileage up by running 6-7 days per week. All at endurance paces. Add no more than 10% more mileage each week. Once you’re consistently running 30-40 mpw (or whatever you have time for in your schedule) then you can think about adding a tempo run a week and maybe eventually speed work. But you need to get the mileage up and be consistent for 2-3 months before I’d suggest speed stuff.
  12. Well I gotter done at Katy today. Came in at 1:19:13. Super pumped and now ready to ramp the bike training up for Tri season.
  13. They got the cages removed on boxes of animal crackers
  14. Fucking lulz that they have convinced themselves that Jimbo is a better coach than Herman, when Herman whipped his ass with about half the talent. It’s about the aggyest thing ever.
  15. Nice job smokey! How did everyone else’s races go? I went 1:23:03 in Houston on a lot of fatigue. Hoping to take 3:04 off of that in a couple of weeks at Katy half with a full taper.
  16. Same thing for Houston full/half. But it’s not the cold I’m worried about, it’s the accompanying 15 mph wind that’s gonna make it brutal.
  17. Yeah after seeing it I think ditch the emojis. Just $9.95 would be great
  18. I’ve heard it’ll be $9.95
  19. I don’t know if I have any real goals this year other than to race more and have more fun. Kinda got bogged down with goals last couple years. It was great and pushed me to great success but was just too mentally draining. I still haven’t accomplished my 1:20 half marathon goal from last year and will give a couple good cracks at it the next few weeks. First at Houston, but I’m doing an anti taper for that as my cycling club has its annual hill country training camp the same weekend. So 2 days of hard cycling then try and run a fast half. What could go wrong? So I’m thinking run the Katy half a couple weeks later with a proper taper and see how it goes. But I’m not sure I’m in the shape to be able to pull it off so might just skip that and go straight into more rounded triathlon training for the Galveston 70.3. Only other race I’m signed up for at the moment is Kona, but will add 5-10 through the year.
