much deserved

I had the honor of building a beautiful bike for a friend that is much deserved. The raw canvas was a 2011 Argon 18 E114 which includes the aero bars, brake levers, and brakes. Additional parts include Shimano's Ultegra and Dura Ace mix components. Thanks to Kevin and Kimberly from Gear for Multisports for helping out in aquiring all parts needed in the build.
We finished the fit and sizing her and she looks great on the bike- aero, able to maintain position, put down good power, and feel comfortable.
Congratulations Rose and a much overdue and deserved steed and looking forward to working with you on your upcoming victories.

Triathlete what?!

I have decided to hop on the bandwagon and participate in triathlons. I have set a goal and plan on doing the Florida Challenge half-ironman distance on April 15, 2012. Swim 1.2 miles, cycle 56 miles, and run 13.2 miles (1/2 marathon). Im not a fan of running so this will definitely make me start. Also I will need to be more consistent in the pool.

I will slowly be adding these discIplines to my training as well as weight training however i will continue to have cycling as my main focus up to Septembet 17-18 which will be my last road race of the season.

Nuun nutrition review

I have been using Nuun tablets for about 2-3 weeks now. I have been adding 1 tablet to each of my gatorade mixed bottles. The tables add a carbonated fizz to the gatorade that is refreshing. The taste it dependent on the tablet flavor and how well it mixes with the orange flavor gatorade.

Each tablet has includes the following nutrition:
Active Ingredients level (mg)
Sodium (carbonates) 360.0
Potassium (bicarbonate)  100.0
Calcium (carbonate)  12.5
Magnesium (sulfate)  25.0
Vitamin C 37.5
Vitamin B2. 500mcg

Each fully fueled bottle ends up containing over 500mg of sodium. I this is too much in inly bottle as i have found myself needing to take a nature break during my rides.

The plan now is to see if half a tablet per bottle works out.
