vivalasvegans Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 i don't usually have problems with my shades fogging up, i can;t wait to see how these new natives with vents work out. i think it has everything to do with the coating though. my coaching isn't 1:1 but he's pretty much the best coach in the world so it doesn't matter. fridaya cool opp for adrenaline and endorphinsthen a hike saturday:39 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 i never had my glasses fog but my goggles do and I hate it! how do you stop that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 There is defogger spray you can buy. I didn't find it worked too well but some people swear by it. I've also heard that spitting in your goggles before putting them on helps. Didn't do much for me, but if it works for you all the more power to you.

vivalasvegans Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 My ritual is to get my goggles wet in the water then get them to suck on my eyeballs as quickly as possible, which usually works to prevent fog but hurts my eyeballs. Sunday:something like 45 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was just browsing your very long log. Congrat on keeping it going. Are you training for something? Race? etc. Or, is it just a way to keep up the motivation. You seemed to have really picked up the miles since the beginning of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 i put them in the water and wear them really tight also. But they fog when i am swimming still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 When I get out of the pool and take my goggles off usually the area around my eyes is sore and I have very unattractive goggle lines that take forever to go away! Yes viva, thank you for logging your journey, I really like reading your log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 it's so sexy though when you try to get warm in the hot tub after a swim and you have those deep red goggle-shaped indentations all over your face... it's amazing we make it out of the gym alive. tuesday: 21 miles, rb, on firewednesaday: 28 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 it's so sexy though when you try to get warm in the hot tub after a swim and you have those deep red goggle-shaped indentations all over your face Now you know what superheroes go through with their masks. Ah, the chafing. Being able to fly kinda makes up for it, though. Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason X Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Man, you guys are hilarious! Maybe that's the real reason I don't swim!! Coached trainer ride? Where do you go? Do tell! A friend of mine does training classes in the spring and through the winter. They're tough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 This morning in the hot tub I thought of you and Mary...I had my huge goggle lines and this reallly creepy dude kept staring at me. He was old and had a pony tail...and was kind of scary. He couldn't resist the sexy goggle lines I guess. It's probably because I'm the only one under 50 that ever goes in the hot tub. It's where the seniors hang out. All the cool kids go to the sauna instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 wow! I was totally thinking of you guys this morning at the pool when I got out I had the goggle marks too and I was going to take a picture and post it cuz it was just so funny and then I realized I didn't have my phone to take the picture. Don't worry Im sure I will get them again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Monday:my legs were getting pretty pooped. the night before someone who had no business doing so kicked my tired butt on a ride out to dinner. granted he was on my fast old steel racer but nevertheless it should not have happened. so i stayed off the bike monday except for commute to let my legs recover. went to the gym, i have lost so much muscle and strength in my upper body. it's discouraging but i am trying to stay positive. that's all i'm gonna write about it, not writing about it will keep me more upbeat. a little DOMS in the tris today so that's good. the swim felt peaceful, no one in the pool, i could space out and concentrate. pt gym30 min swim (15 bs 15 fs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) tuesday:i finally hit decent form for a few different moments, and it was gorgeous. i got that old feeling back of not quite like, muscling the pedals or manhandling the bike, just moving with it. it was hard to maintain though, so much i need to work around and remember. amazing the difference a little tilt here combined with a little drop there can make. i am working with some pretty great people: d gave me some things to do in the weight room to help improve my form yesterday, he's brilliant. i'm finally able to see a time in my future when i can get a bike fit, it may not be soon, but at least it's up there in the distance. tuesday:37 miles ate a real lot of food, let's see 100 cals oatmeal2 scoop protein, banana, a bunch of granolalunabara handful of chocolate covered ginger400 cal tofu, lettuce, 1 tbs flax oil550 cal ice cream 8 oz of mixed nuts (wtf 8 oz? i must have been hungry, i should have gone for more protein) Edited August 18, 2010 by vivalasvegans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 what sort of things are you doing in the weight room to help your form? inquiring minds would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 well, it's really specific to my form idiosyncrasies. i'll show you in person for sure. i just remembered, yesterday i ate more than i wrote up there ^^^ add 2 big peaches.

lobsteriffic Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 okay, i guess i will reiterate my question, what sorts of weights do you do to help with cycling in general? what do you do for legs? now that my tris are over for the year i want to work weights 3x/week back into my routine. and ideally i would like the weights to compliment swim/bike/run.
