Wow! Life is busy busy busy again. What I really want to be doing is writing about the Marine Corps Planning Process and how to apply it to a triathlon career, season, or race.
Instead, I'm travelling alot and missing my kids, all while getting a bit fatter every day and fighting off a sinus infection.
HOWEVER....there is some excitement. I received the Kurt Kinetic Wireless Power System and the Jaybird Freedom headphones. I haven't got the power system lined up on the bike yet, although I did manage to get my bike ready for a winter on the trainer....I just didn't have the power system at that time when I had the motivation. I'm starting up on the bike again on October 5, so maybe I'll have it ready for that. I most certainly want to get a good Lactate Threshhold test completed fairly early in October, though.
As for the headphones, they are wireless bluetooth headphones that come with a lifetime guarantee against sweat, and they are supposed to stay in the ear fairly well. I wore them a bit while driving this weekend and while on the phone a bit. There is very little bass sound, even when considering they are headphones. At the same time, the higher frequencies are quite clear, leading to me hearing a few "new" notes in some of my music. I would prefer to have the bass, though. The headphones sound ok for the phone, and they paired really easy with my phone. They stay in the ear pretty well during driving, but I haven't tried them running yet.
Detailed reviews coming up!
More travel coming up. Hopefully I'll get going on these planning articles.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
