• Bicycle Village gets a great big round of applause from D3! The bike crew at the Aurora, CO store gets props for taking care of our D3 athletes. From new bikes to parts to repairs; Scott, Keith, Grom and even Coach AJ have been making D3 feel like Tour De France VIPs when they head into the store! Thanks!
• Todd Carver at Retul – D3 thanks you! Thanks for being a sponsor and thanks for making our athletes more powerful in the saddle. Todd’s computerized bike fits are top notch. It’s time to see him if you want to make sure you have every advantage on the bike. You can contact him at todd@retul.com.

Ironman Arizona
Leading into this race, I was feeling well rested and motivated. I knew my fitness level wasn’t anything near what it has been in the past, but I had to do the best with what I had. My goal was to beat my best time of 10:30 – and in order to do that my goals were to swim 58:00 / bike 5:40 / Run 3:35 – my training was telling me this was possible – at least in the 40 degree temps I was training in.

220-Age Misconceptions and Determining your Lactate Threshold
How many of you triathletes out there are using this formula? Put up your hand and admit it - I can't see you through cyber space. :-)
If I receive one more email that says an athlete is using the 220-Age formula, I am going off the DEEP END! People, this is not correct. It may work, but chances are very slim it will work for you. Of course the 15 people that it works for will email me that it does work - but my point is that for the MAJORITY, this formula of 220-AGE = MAX Heart Rate - DOES NOT WORK!
