First cyclocross race today. Didn't expect to win or place and was happy with my mid-pack position about halfway through the race. However, I knocked my saddle a little loose while mounting the bike during the first lap, and managed to knock it clean off mounting again near the end of the second lap. Didn't have a multi-tool on me and only a four lap race, so too a did not finish in my first race.

This was just a tune-up/practice race for me. The series of races I'm interested really performing well in starts 10/6 so 1) more practice mounting the bike on the run, 2) check my saddle and seatpost tightness before I start the race, and 3) toss a multi-tool in my jersey so I can pit, repair and get back on course next time I have a mechanical.

What kind of cross bike do you have, I've been kicking around getting into it this year. There are races every weekend until Dec. around here. Looks super fun. What class do you race in?

I have a Surly Crosscheck that I bought a few years ago. I bought it as a complete bike and used it for the past few years as a back up road bike. Decided I was going to race cross this year so I swapped out some parts - converted the double chainring to a single, new seatpost and saddle, and a tubular wheelset. Then I attended a cross clinic two weeks ago for some work on dismounting and remounting, shouldering the bike, barriers, etc. The bike is still a bit heavy, but fine for a beginner where your equipment is probably the last thing holding you back.

I race Cat 4 since this is my first season. My fitness is decent after training and racing road this year, but my skills need a lot of work. But despite my race being shortened I had a blast. We likewise have about 1 or 2 races every weekend into early December, so I'm hoping to get a dozen or so races in this year.

What race do you have?

Went out for a 3 mile run last night to get back in the flow, finished at 22.10. Felt pretty good afterwards. Left calf seems ok.

I've started working on speed again now that I'm getting shorter runs in again for a bit. Got under 27:00 for 5k yesterday for the first time. Would really like to get that under 26:00 before too long.

I just gotta find some December and January races to round out the year...

After finally getting to and finishing my first olympic tri, I'm jonesing for another one, but I failed to realize that the season is coming to an end in the next month. There is one last race next month...which is the day before my wife does her first marathon. I'm hoping she'll be cool with me doing it. Shouldn't be a big deal though.....I'll be home before noon. \:\)



I went out and did a 4 miler today, in the unusually hot and humid socal weather...and the third day after my race. The soreness was actually completely gone, but I was drained the whole rest of the day.

5 mile run with the wife last night. I do not run as well after work as I do in the morning. When I was losing weight hardcore at the beginning of the year, I was up by 5:30 every morning to ride my bike on the trainer or run. I've gotten out of that habit and really need to get myself back into it.

Nice dude. I'd really like to do a standalone 5k race. Pretty sure I could beat my last PR of 24:00 from like 3 years ago.

I've been back to running a bit on the treadmill.

Trying to get back to a sub-18 minute 5k. Ran 3 separate 5-minute intervals at a 6 min/mile pace. 2.5 minutes of 8.5 min/mile rest pace in between the intervals. Probably could have gone faster, but I forgot my inhaler, and was starting to have an asthma attack there at the end.

I got dressed to run, opened the door about 6 am, got a chill and said "fuck no." Probably would have been fine, but just seemed colder than I was mentally prepared for. I guess I'll run after work.

I better get used to it because its just going to get worse.

what's more efficient, running on a treadmill or running in the park? I don't feel like running on a treadmill does anything for me at all.

I thought about running in the park, but my excuse is that I work 8-5.... so I won't be able to run until like 6:00 pm and I have to sleep around 10pm. So my excuse is that I can't work out at night because then I will be too "pumped up" to fall asleep. Do you guys that run a lot actually work f/t?

I always see people running in the park here and when I see them I think to myself that they must not have f/t jobs... Cause how can you work 8 hours a day, commute home and then still have energy and time to run? and then eat dinner? There's just no time.

My wife and I both work 40+ hours per week and make time. I don't run that much at the moment though - 3-4 days per week and 30-60 minutes each time out. I throw in some cycling and weightlifting as well. I like to do my training first thing in the morning and typically get up by 5:30 on those days. My wife is the exact opposite in that she will sleep in and get her runs in after work. She lifts a couple of days a week at lunch time.

I get up at 6ish, get to work by 730/8ish, leave work at 430, get home no later than 530, eat dinner with the family, play with the kids, read stories and put them to bed by 8pm.

then I go for my run.


you can make time.

I've been lazy the last week. It was my reward for doing well in my triathlon. Then of course I was supposed to start back up yesterday, but we've had rain, and there's no way I'm taking the baby out in the jogging stroller.

Oh well....I still feel great, and the time off is probably doing me some good.

I'm excited though....found another olympic race to do on the 16th.

Woo-hoo. After taking almost 2 weeks off (with just one 5 mile run in the middle) after my triathlon, I went out tonight and decided to run fast...well, fast for me. Did 3.8 miles in 30:20. That's a 7:57 pace and that's unheard of for me.

Tried to get a run in but the body wasnt having it. Managed to squeeze out 1.25 miles in 8.39. Average of 6.54 a mile.

Hopefully Sunday is better.

Cyclocross race this morning. Two weeks ago I was disappointed that I had a mechanical take me out of the race early. Today, near the end, I was praying for a mechanical - my legs were toast.

45 minutes of drilling it on the bike, in and out of technical corners, a couple of barriers to jump over on foot, and a long stretch of pavement on the back end to sprint after the guy in front of you. Exceedingly painful, but definitely fun.

My dismount needs some work though:
