You know, us northerners appreciate the narrow summer months we have to enjoy being outside. <br /><br />Seriously though, what I have tried to do this season is REALLY vary the routes that I have done. I train alone almost invariably, so I need variety. I have also been substituting some of my shorter (1:30ish) rides with MTB'ing. That way I can bring my son out to the trails with me and spin and have fun. Do you have a take about trainer sessions vs. outdoors?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837974906193121567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-20156097313813786122012-07-18T22:13:49.028-04:002012-07-18T22:13:49.028-04:00Thinking about your "less volume, more intens...Thinking about your "less volume, more intensity" approach this year, are you doing trainer workouts on the bike? (Not riding on the trainer, but actual structured workouts on the trainer.) I was doing one today since I've started training for Kona but am not putting in the huge volume yet. And I thought of you.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14237485308641746043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-23246516772133656152012-07-18T16:21:04.953-04:002012-07-18T16:21:04.953-04:00Nice work, man.

Hope you come to central New York next year and compete in this fun event. <br /><br />Christie, thanks for swinging by AND leaving your mark this time! I love my Pearl Izumi's and highly recommend their products. I own Kissaski's, Syncro Float IV's, and their multisport shoe, the Iso Transition. The Iso Transition is probably the most comfortable minimal race shoe I have ever worn. I highly recommend them!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837974906193121567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-2583000814940906922012-07-18T08:17:22.952-04:002012-07-18T08:17:22.952-04:00Nice race!

This weekend the rain showed up on the bike section of my race too... makes for an interesting ride for sure.<br /><br />Have you always ran in Pearl Izumi's? I have been trying to decide between those or some Zoots for my races. I keep getting blisters in my other shoes.<br /><br />I always read your posts but rarely comment... thought I would this time:)Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485070247433437203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-70936233377023528462012-07-18T07:21:59.131-04:002012-07-18T07:21:59.131-04:00Congrats on the great race!Congrats on the great race!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943160527886185508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-8037324988542803632012-07-17T23:21:03.655-04:002012-07-17T23:21:03.655-04:00Fantastic race report.

Confidence building races are awesome.<br /><br />I used to be petrified of racing in the rain, but then one good race on a wet road had made me feel a little better about it :)Fat for a Triathletehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096286119242252260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-67537892082663532622012-07-17T15:24:47.008-04:002012-07-17T15:24:47.008-04:00Great job on your race, I hate racing in the rain!...Great job on your race, I hate racing in the rain!Jfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112629068602038293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-68329351478498322012-07-17T12:44:46.861-04:002012-07-17T12:44:46.861-04:00Nice job man!
