Transition Goodness

I came across this photo on the web (Triathlete Magazine's site) of an interesting T1 setup.

Notice the arm sleeves already pre-rolled and on the bar ends for easy access.  Smart.  Sleeves rock, but getting them on your wet arms while pedaling a wobbly bike is a bit of a chore.  A great technique is to put them on before the race, then roll them off into a donut shape.  They will roll back on with very little effort.

Epic 5 Starts Today

Rich Roll and Jason Lester launch on their Epic 5 journey today.  They will be attempting five Ironmans in five days, each one on a different Hawaiian island.

You can follow them on their live athlete tracker at http://epic5.com/live/, and you definitely should.  The map shows the terrain profile and their status as near-live as possible.  This stuff is way better than TV and as inspirational as you can get!

Good luck, guys!

I'm so confused.  But it feels good.

Listening to Your Body

It's like learning a whole new language.  You shouldn't expect to know what, "Glark! Glark!" means.  But if your body says it and then kicks you in the balls, you'll know next time you hear, "Glark! Glark!", you better cover your nuts.
