Kill Kuato

Monday, February 16, 9:52 PM – marco:

Been training for a Marathon and Half Iron Man for April and July 2009. Starting to enjoy music again.

ya I bought a nano. I need a one eared earphone though.

Vertigo is slightly there, stronger on the bike..

This is the last post I will be entering on thestatus.com

for now, everything will be tranferring to killkuato.com via wordpress

I had a bike fit on my restored 90’s Allez and feel pretty good about it.  I plan to do a Half Iron this summer with it, but will need a serious upgrade for IronMan 2010.  He basically wants to convert my road bike into a tribike-moving me forward over the tire. The Bike fit is below, if anyone is interested to give me pointers.  Jason is a pro tri and Xterra racer who does fits for Black Diamond Sports Therapy in Washington.

Comments: Work on driving the knee over the handlebars during drill work on trainer.  Want to create better hip flexor strength as well as eliminating heel drop.

Corrective Steps (if any):

Mechanical: Left Foot- 3 mm varus tilt/slide foot closer to bike/angle cleat 1mm to allow for heel out.

Right Foot-1.5 mm Varus Tilt/ angle cleat 1 mm to allow for heel out.  Saddle- forward 7 mm.

Structural:

Knee Angle: TDC=106                        Saddle Height= 31 3/4                                      H-Bar height= 36 7/8

TBC=37                        Seat Tube angle (Center of saddle)=     70 degee

Reach (saddle tip to bar)=21 3/4

Recommendations: Profile Fast forward seat post in 350 length/  110 to 120 mm 0 degree quil stem.

That’s right F@#k you Kuato. I am running a Marathon soon.
I ran 17.7822 miles tonight. 3 hrs 42 mins.

@ 1 hr downed a gel and some powerade.I floored for about 45 mins after the gel WHOAaa!

@ 1 hr 30, a Clif Bar and some powerade. pissed.

@ 2 hrs pissed.

@2.45 pissed, another gel, and some powerade.

@ 320 Clif Bar Powerade

@ 325-340-Powerade, legs hurt bad, as in walking on stilts–my legs with no feet, ankles felt swelled.

Here is a map of the run.

April 21st is the Marathon.
In March I am going to El salvador for 3 weeks to have some fun, and elections! Guate too for about 4 days.

Well I busted out a 100 mile bike and I also busted my ass.

It took me about 6 hrs and 50 minutes and averaged about 14 mph.

I left Lincoln park around 730 and about 1 hr 20 minutes into the ride, when i hit Entiat, I accidently reset my new bike computer! I was pissed.

About 11 miles north of Entiat I peeled off my facemask, fleece gloves, and long sleeve shirt.

Baby Powder break too.

I cruised through chelan towards Wells Dam.  This was a long haul.

Baby Powder break.

Turn around wells damn. Hard time getting off bike. Took a break. ( I had past the first 2 break points).

A pro biking group from Seattle, kept on passing me, and they were taking breaks. 8(

I had about 40 miles to go, @ about 70 miles I started to cry. Body hurt so much and I was thinking of Ironman 2010. I could not see the end and my legs were in pain if I stopped peddling, and in pain if I peddled.- a total doublebind.

Break area @ about 80. Good break.

Baby Powder.

Off to Orondo. More positive.

Break in Orondo. 10 miles to go!

Baby Powder.

I could see Turtle Island in the distance so I knew the end was near.  Spirits are up!

Finish. IN pain.

No happiness, no sadness. Just pain. Ate some chicken and could barely drive home using the clutch.

Friend told me it was elactic acid build up in my legs.

Well last weekend I busted my ass doing 50 miles over about 3.5 hrs on my ten speed, so I decided to bust my ass again coming up on Sept 27th. 100 Miler! Last year I did the 25 mile version of Mike Utleys Bike o’rama on my crappy mountain bike. I also took a shot at a cow elk with my longbow this last Thursday, but just missed. It was a down hill shot up at Grouse Springs. Arrow went right under his belly.
