Ooh, a cycling thread, I'm excited. :) <br />I don't do a whole lot right now, just the occasional ~40mi ride down to Key Biscayne and back but am looking forward to getting back into it when I move back to Portland in April. There's just a serious lack of good places to ride here in Miami.<br />Cur...

Mmm, endorphins, my favorite. :D <br />I've noticed this as well. When I sprain an ankle it inevitably hurts for the first little bit that I work out (especially if it's cold!) then I won't notice it until a while after my workout is done. Can be nice relief sometimes.<br />Krysta, I'm scared, you m...

As a general rule I like being coxed. The exception to this is when you have a bad cox. My race in Boston where he kept talking to the girl rowing next to me is a prime example of this, although I don't know how much better my time would have been with a different cox to be honest. :? <br />I have f...

I actually started out as a HW, only switching to LW this year.<br />I definitely train differently as a LW, but racing HW has it's perks too (no need to make weight!)<br />Altho I will say that I would be much unhappier about the lack of weight class on the ergs than on the water, at least on the w...

Hmm, I will be, but I think it'll be mostly on water meters 8) <br />Happy erging!<br /><br />Heather

I was extremely excited to make weight at the CRASH-B's this weekend with half a pound to spare.<br />Started at around 146 in early January. Came in around 134.5 on Saturday.<br />Maybe I can do this lightweight thing afterall :) <br />My diet is simple calorie restriction. I'm allowed x number cal...

The guy in the light blue and white jacket coxing Nicholas Nistal is from my club here in Miami Beach. His name is Francisco (I can't remember the last name), used to be the coach for the Miami Rowing Club, great guy. <br /><br />Heather

The air at Agganis was definitely too dry, but the hot vs cold thing I think went back and forth throughout the day, I remember sometimes feeling really hot and others really cold, this might explain why I heard ppl complaining about both. Interesting thing, it seemed like a lot of people pulled kin...

Nice, thanks for posting.<br /><br />Heather
