Went and seen the Doc today. She thinks some of the tendons/ligaments connecting the metatarsals to the cuneiform bones might be inflammed.

Using running shoes on an exercise bike is not necessarily great but guess I will have to reduce a little, but maintain some of the fitness for when I get home. She did also do some acupuncture on my left foot with the mild plantar faciatus. It has helped, we will see how much it helps with the pain through out the night.

This might sound dumb, but do you have some harder-soled shoes you could use on the bike?  That combined with new boots, acupuncture, and PT tools would be a lot of changes at once but could make enough of a difference to let you keep biking.

How long did you give it to acquire satellites?  If I don't give my 310XT much time it will start me slightly off.  So I turn it on and set it by a window before I go outside to run to make sure the reception is great.

To fix the distance, got to the activity in Garmin Connect, click the Edit pencil and select Full Edit.  Enter the distance.

To be perfectly honest, me too!!  Either that or white athletic socks and dress shoes.  Sorry, Jonathan!

Kate, sweat is fine, beers are great, but no blood please!!

Kirsten, have a super race!!  You're so ready, physically and mentally.  I'll be thinking of you all day and I can't wait to read your RR.

Stevey, enjoy your ride and the scenery.  You'll be fine, although no guarantees about walking like a cowboy.  If you do end up with the cowboy gait, put on some boots and spurs and have some fun!

DL'ers, what can I say?  Much as I like you, I'm glad I'm not in your company this week.  Heal up soon, please.

Hmmmm, it said the satellites were aquired but that is a good idea. Maybe I'll try that next time. I was hoping to be able to fix it using the map (like on strava) because I'm not sure of the actual difference between where I started and where it shows I started....

Not sure that is suitable work attire...

So today we recieved (at long last - very close to deadline) our kit for the ride - as its a company event, and as we sponsor a professional norwegian riding team.

I'm wondering if it is a bad idea to ride 60 miles in a brand new pair of shorts.... ???

Janyne, as always, I am amazed at your ability to keep up with such a diverse group!

I hope for nothing but the best for the racers and for the DL'rs as well.

XOXO.  You know I don't mean that.  It's not that I don't like your company, but that I'm happy to not be on the DL.  Given how I was feeling at the start of the week, I wasn't sure I wasn't going to be!  Fortunately, after a massage and a chiro crunch later, I'm feeling much better.  If only it were always that easy!

It's a cream that helps reduce friction that could lead to saddle sores.  It's more accurately known as chamois cream and most bike shops carry it.  For more detailed info about types and usage, google it or search the Tri Talk forum.

Funny you ask this. My coach, who is also a pastor, was trying to delicately explain chamois butter to some of the newbs in our group. Too funny! Anyway, it is a cream that you shmear on the "sensitive areas" that come in contact with the saddle to avoid rubbing.

ETA: I hit submit too slowly. I'm glad I'm almost done with my time as a manager!

I'd do it but my "nothing new on race day" really only applies to nutrition...

What is chamois butter??? I would agree to no new things, but when its a sponsored kit that only arrived today having been on order for 2 months

Funny you ask this. My coach, who is also a pastor, was trying to delicately explain chamois butter to some of the newbs in our group. Too funny! Anyway, it is a cream that you shmear on the "sensitive areas" that come in contact with the saddle to avoid rubbing.

ETA: I hit submit too slowly. I'm glad I'm almost done with my time as a manager!

This was quite a mental image, gave me a good giggle because I can see that being a difficult subject for a pastor in mixed company

It makes for some interesting discussions. We are allowed to fart, burp and blow snot rockets when training as a group, but not curse

I learned in this race that in order to finish the swim, you have to know where you are going. And in order to know where you are going, you have to learn to sight.

Find a mentor. Make a list of at least three people that you could approach for help, list your specific needs and then be courageous enough to begin asking.
