Re: My Favorite Triathlon Gear for Under $20

Hey Brynn, good question. There's been a lot of debate on the usefulness of compression sleeves. The main benefit is increased blood circulation. They are based on the same premise as people suffering from diabetes and need help with blood circulation which is aided with compression socks. Nurses (ask Carly) also wear compression socks to help with blood circulation when working 12 hour shifts and pretty much stand all day. The primary benefit for me is to accelerate recovery from increased blood flow after hard/long runs. It hasn't been proven if wearing them during a race provides a significant benefit. I've heard it helps reduce muscle vibration and delays fatigue. I can't say for certain that they help but I've always worn them during my marathons/long runs and do feel my legs can stay fresher a little longer. If anything, it also helps out mentally. I'm a fan of either the Zensah Calf Sleeves (http://www.runblogger.com/2... or the 2XU sleeves because they allow me to pick and choose which socks I want to wear.

Bravo... It is
very impressive for the first time.I recommend not using fish sauce while you simmer the broth,especialy if you cook inside( the best if you can cook in the garage or in the porch) the lime add the nice finish look for the picture,pace it in the herb dish and slighly squeeze it to the bowl to avoid the bitter taste.

Q- What type of distance would you recommend starting to use compression gear (socks/sleeves) and what do you personally find is the benefit?

Thanks Doug, I probably would try it again when there are more tasks that
don't need a physical presence. Did you read 4-Hour Work Week?

Going good so far! I did the initial test and was able to jump to Week 3. Just finished Day 2 today without too much effort. Week 4 will be pretty tough. I think P90x Chest will prep you well if you want to give this a try.

The Sea Isle Tri should be our weekend shore trip. Its during Memorial Day weekend so should be perfect for racing/drinking. Assault on Assateague cracks me up!

Re: 2010 Tentative Racing Schedule

Sean — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:07:37 -0000

Yea I was told the same thing about the Philly Insurance selling out quickly. We should do one at the shore and go down for a weekend and drink after the race. Jersey Devilman? Stone Harbor? ASSAULT ON ASSATEAGUE!!!???

Re: 2010 Tentative Racing Schedule

qngo01 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:28:10 -0000

Yeah, I didn't want to be a race whore as that screwed me up this year. I don't have any races in June though so I may do either the Philly Olympic or Sprint Distance. Not sure yet. Olympic traditionally sells out within a day so I'll have to decide soon! Assateague? LOL
