As I continue to look for a solution to the running issues, I\u2019m continually trying new things. I know that there\u2019s a full solution out there so that I don\u2019t have numbness during the run. If I could just solve that Rubik\u2019s Cube\u2026<\/p>\n

For Sunday\u2019s ET Indoor Tri, I had added a new Hammer Nutrition product (Tissue Rejuvination) along with compression running socks into the mix. And with breakfast being a Hammer Bar with the last dose of Endrolytes and Heed in the bottles, it was a fully Hammer powered race.<\/p>\n

As with the last Indoor Tri earlier this month, I had desired benchmarks going into it. While I didn\u2019t hit all of them, and while just the bike improved for the 2017 race, it was still a good day. Not just because I felt more energy throughout it, but because I got to race with one of my Dare2Tri teammates (Val Chavez)!<\/p>\n

Like last year, Todd guided for me for the Tri. But unlike last year, 1\/2 lengths didn\u2019t count in the pool. Knowing that and knowing where the time was led to me really pushing that last length to make sure it counted. <\/p>\n

After changing, we headed to the spin bikes. I was glad that I had changed into my bike bibs, especially at about 26-27 min in when that triangle started hurting. Even more evidence that the saddle upgrade was a really good idea and will pay dividends in 2018 when I don\u2019t have bibs. <\/p>\n

My focus for the treadmill was to run the entire 20 minutes without stopping. And if it hadn\u2019t been for spit, I would have made that happen. At about 12:30 in, I couldn\u2019t get the spit in my throat to go back down and started minorly choking on it. As I wasn\u2019t going to spit on the treadmill or floor, I had to walk for about 20-30 seconds to get that taken care of before going back to running.<\/p>\n

While the jury\u2019s still out on the new Hammer tool, I will say that the compression socks were a good purchase. A couple times during the run, I could feel the start of tingling that eventually goes to numbness. But the socks helped to stop that in a couple steps. I will of course continue to play with both during the two runs I have coming up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
