    2022 Northeast M'fest, Kingdom Trails, July 21-24

    I don’t even own a MTB at the moment but I ride my cross bike pretty much everywhere. Currently we are booked in Lake Placid that weekend to drink and cheer/heckle a bunch of friends doing Ironman, but maybe a day trip could happen…

    Swim and run and new bike... Oh My!

    You can drop 8 grand on a tri bike pretty easy. And it wouldn't be a huge amount better than what stoney got. Someone in marketing figured out that lots of people doing tri have gobs of disposable income.

    Swim and run and new bike... Oh My!

    I used compression socks in the half marathon I ran last year and I think they helped. But I can't imagine using them in a triathlon. After riding position (bike), your next noticeable gains are definitely wheels and helmet. Loose clothing will also cause a lot of drag. Gloves also create drag...

    Swim and run and new bike... Oh My!

    I was pretty blown away how much faster I was on a tri bike. Same race course, similar conditions, in 2013 on my Bianchi roadie, 20 miles took 1:04:37, in 2014 on BMC Time Machine, 20 miles took 56:55. Yes I know I'm slow, but I'm less slow on the TT bike.

    My Personal Hell

    And Aerosmith kicks ass, by the way. I could probably pretend I hate them so a few people would think I'm cool, but that just sounds like work.

    My Personal Hell

    I had a dream where I wished there was a button that allowed me to "like" this thread on facebook. But there was no button so I "liked" Aerosmith instead.

    Does anybody read [books] anymore?

    Dude good call on the George RR Martin. Just finished books 1-4 myself. Wish he would hurry the f*ck up and finish Dance With Dragons. Other recent good reads - AJ Jacobs "The Know-It-All" and Chuck Klosterman "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs". And George RR Martin's "Tuf Voyaging" was pretty...
