Do you folks race to push your limits? Now, I can't imagine how many endurance triathlete's race for fitness (it's probably better to do shorter distances). But for all those who race to push their limits, ironman's seem great. But, AFTER AN IRONMAN, what next? Since we race to push our limits, it would seem logical to go onto harder challenges after the ironman.

As we progress into the off-season and colder months for many triathletes, indoor cycling workouts, or "spinning", becomes a primary mode of cross-training for the bike leg. This article will help you understand some of the differences between cycling outdoors (or indoors) on your bike, and cycling on a spin bike.

I'm looking to get a professional bike fitting this off-season, and it coincides with a medical procedure being performed in our family that has caused me to pay extra attention to asymmetry. (My 14 yr. old son is being treated for a Leg Length Discrepancy that will entail his longer tibia being "arrested" for a spell by a transphyseal screw.) http://www.snail-male.blogspot.com/

So I've been gone for a while, but am trying to get back into the sport. I was pretty active last year while I was in graduate school in California, but I've since moved to Norfolk, VA for the Navy and have not been able to train in over a year. I work pretty much 5am to 6pm plus some weekends and simply don't have time.

It the spin class that I started attending again at the gym this morning I approached the instructor with the idea of having a 2 hr or so long ride on a couple of weekends a month this winter. He thought the idea was interesting but since he is a spin instructor and not a triathlete or cyclist he wasn't sure he knew what he would plan to do for that entire time.

epicRIDES virtual ride cycling videos are not your typical bicycle training video and that’s no accident. This new DVD series from producer epicPLANET.tv is intended to offer cyclists training indoors the ability to ride and train on epic bicycle routes around the world without leaving their home studio.

Alright, well I was watching stage 11 yesterday and kind of noticed a recurring pattern throughout the Tour. In the last 10k or so Columbia is up front pushing the pace for their guy, Mark Cavendish. In every stage he has won this year it seems he has the most dominant team who is creating the lead out.

The video production team of epicPLANET.tv has recently completed the filming of Epic Tucson, a epicRIDES bicycling virtual ride video that will be sold to the indoor cycle training market.

Spicing up the forum today with a pure cycling race report. The race was a over a week ago, but just got a few pics up. More interesting that way, right?

I recently purchased a power meter and was curious to know where some of you more experienced triathletes sit in terms of sustained power output on the bike. So, lets have it!
