Know The Course

Nowadays there is no excuse not to know the course of your upcoming race. The more familiar you are with your course, the shorter it will seem on race day. If you’re not able to train on your race course, Google Earth, Map My RIDE, Strava, and Training Peaks, just to name a few, all provide massive data bases of many race courses across the world or the ability to map your course and then study the profile – even tour the course in 3D.  Here’s an example of what’s possible with today’s mapping tools. Be sure to check out the “Map Options” box in the upper left corner, to explore the different ways to see the map, and don’t miss the 3D flyover button in the upper right corner of the map.

Trim Your Toenails

April 30th

Unkempt toenails can wreak havoc on a perfectly good pair of socks. Even the nicest sock can fall victim in one round to jagged, unruly hooks. The outside corner of the big toe is the typical culprit. If you cut your nail square, the corners can become razor-like. Most professional, however, caution that rounding the corners or cutting them at an angle may cause the nail to curve in, resulting in painful ingrown nails. I cannot argue against this advice having suffered from a number of ingrown nails, myself.  But I can unequivocally state that I’d rather suffer from an ingrown nail, than have holes the corners of my socks.
