Then had an emergency and couldn't make the race so now have to wait until the Dextro race in Hyde park. Also been buying new cassette to go on said wheels, tyres, tubes etc.
The bill builds up pretty quickly!!!
[list:2d710ogg]
[*:2d710ogg] ChiRunning (the book on how to run without getting injured)[/*:m:2d710ogg]
[*:2d710ogg] Yoga for Athletes (a book that amazon said "93.554673% of those who bought Chi Running also had more money than sense/were triathletes and bought this)[/*:m:2d710ogg]
[*:2d710ogg] A bike insurance policy for Triathletes which also covers all other types of races and means that I don't have to leave my bling machine locked in transition, with the key for the lock in the car).[/*:m:2d710ogg]
[*:2d710ogg] Window shopping for a Pair of Newton Gravity shoes - need to go and try them on before handing over the cash - narrowed down to a runners shop in Darwen, and a tri shop in Salford.[/*:m:2d710ogg]
[*:2d710ogg] It's only Monday[/*:m:2d710ogg]
[*:2d710ogg] Not sure if it is tri related although if the missus and dog (who has very sensitive ears and only likes the pastoral works of debussy) are out, then I might Turbo along to "Black Sabbath: Master of Reality", and "Black Sabbath: Paranoid" which completed my above amazon purchase. I'm still in the process of recreating my Vinyl collection in CD. Just in time for that to be obsoleted by MP3[/*:m:2d710ogg][/list:u:2d710ogg]
1) a tri suit (the other one didn't fit properly)
2) a new shiny red and black bike (well I will have when I pick it up tomorrow)
3) new tyres for said bike
Thinking of:
4) an ipod shuffle (gym stuff is soooo dull)
5) SPDs
6) bike shoes
2. Adidas supernova - 50% off from london marathon shop at london tri!
3. Carbon fibre pump, with canister - £10 off
4. advanced number - buying some new wheels soon - any suggestions (£200), Ris suggested some mavic aksiums!
Sticking to the small purchaes for a while but it still adds up - I like to think that together we are helping drag the retail sector back into shape, it's a selfless pursuit. honest.

renting a bike box from bridgtown for my trip to prague:)
I went for a bike ride last night.
I cycled to work this morning (a week in the Office Yay!). It was only a bit rainy
I left my swimming stuff, still wet in the back of the car.
I think I need some more cycling stuff/swimming stuff/towels etc. Shorts are getting in short supply (ho ho).
Either that or I'll have to put the washing machine on this evening.
1 running vest. I only have one, now I will have two.
1 pullbuoy. I already have one, but like it so much I have bought one to keep in the office for my lunchtime swims.

Sunglasses for the bike - ever the optimist!
Both from Wiggle. Have also promised myself a pair of race wheels but only when I loose 7 lb first.
Any recommendations for wheels would be greatfully accepted!

want so much more though...
swimming cossie for the wife - which doens't fit.
chain and chainbreaker. i'm bound to find out that the chain is secretly 7spd and won't fit either.
at least le wigg has a decent returns policy.
In the past 10 days I have bought:
An Isaac (sonic prototype) superlight frame and forks (868g!!)
A 2010 SRAM Force groupset
Arione CX saddle
ITM stem
Scott handlebars
An Isaac Joule-Aerotic frame and forks
Think that is about it.....oh and I have to get LBS to build said frames from my old kit.....
Not surprisingly I will soon have Tri frame (Tek Equinox 9.5 1997) and my old road bike (Specialized Allez Triple) to ebay...they had better sell or the WAT might go up.......
oh and bandages, plasters, antiseptic cream for when i can't get out of the pedals and fall over!
- new shiny red and black road bike - hooray
- tyres for new shiny bike (black and red ones of course)
- repair kit for bike
- new pump
- tri suit
- "Your first triathlon" book
- aqua sphere goggles
- neoprene glue
- ipod shuffle - for the gym
- box for transition
Non-tri related: "the quiet american" and "journey without maps" by Graham Greene - well I was on ABE books anyway.... books are my other weakness...
Not sure what the HAT will be but it was my birthday and I am driving back from the cricket tomorrow so he can drink (no alcohol is a good idea before team time trial thing - I need all the help I can get) so hope it won't be too much
...and a new track pump - what a differnce (thanks S11, another great tip!) and new pads for my aero bars.
oh and some adidas race cycling shorts - which have a draw string (dhb's tend to slip so that i have all the padding at the front!)
