GeWilli replied to Steve Kirk's discussion 'Recovery Problems'

if it has been a long time since you've run, you probably over did it with 30 minutes, two schools of thought. Wait till the soreness subsides, or run immediately. I have found the run immediately helps progress faster with the running (ie running…

GeWilli replied to Jason's discussion 'Clydesdale Nationals? Questions about this race!!!'

i'm wondering too - there are rumors that it is true but i'll believe it when i see some actual information... if it happens that would be freaking awesome!

GeWilli replied to JMack's discussion 'Race Report Contest #3'

And then the Whistle blew. And NoHo (Cycle-Smart International) was officially underway. I moved up a bit after the initial delay but only to get boxed in against the fencing. So I had to hit cruise control a second as the leaders were way up the…

GeWilli replied to cyclocross magazine's discussion 'Improving Registration for Cyclocross National Championships (Constructive Suggestions Only)'

Alan's right. Take the independent ranking system of Crossresults.com and you can see a lot of Cat 3 New England masters with way lower points (higher ranking) than most Cat 2s in other regions. Esp with OBRA saying all Master A racers can be a Cat…

GeWilli replied to wood booger's discussion 'leg juice'

Someone's read all the threads? :D There is a mental component too. I am not sort of softening up to say just avoid using it when there is a risk of hypothermia. In those cases a thick heavy mild formula would be warmer (for your core body temp) th…

hell NE is the center of the Cross Universe with Crossresults.com anyway

GeWilli commented on BeardedBIker's group 'NECX'

GeWilli replied to Kris Fleming's discussion 'Learn me about embrocation'

As HenryJ is fond of saying - 2005 CX Nats was hit with a very unique storm. One that is still (word has it) studied by meteorologists. And judging by stories from the on staff medical folks, the numbers of hypothermic racers were scary. A bunch we…

GeWilli replied to Kris Fleming's discussion 'Learn me about embrocation'

Yeah - Dr Dawn Richardson wrote a pretty condemning piece about the dangers of Embro following the 2005 CX Nats. "Skin care, heat balm and keeping covered I’m old and grumpy enough to observe two recent skin-care fads in cold weather cycling that I…

GeWilli replied to Colin Kernan's discussion 'What happened to "+1"??'

I miss the +1 aspect of the old days... but back then, esp where i was racing courses were shorter so you had more laps to play with and adding a 4-5 minute lap after 45 minutes wasn't a big deal, adding one lap to a 6-8 minute lap time is a big de…

GeWilli replied to Bryan Bigda's discussion 'New England Courses'

might as well just go race - no substitute. not only is it a better work out, it is wicked way more fun and you can race the cat 4/beginner race and then spend a bit of time watching how good guys go over the barriers. That's the cool thing. Bring a…

GeWilli replied to Mark Tuttle's discussion 'Hairy Legs'

there are plenty of fast hairy chewbacka legs running around CX scene. And if you have hair you don't need embro... and if you want to stink like those [embro] guys get some perfume... it grows back, so maybe give it a try. but that first time roun…

GeWilli replied to ross's discussion 'cyclocross bar width. What width are you running'

run the narrowest bars possible on the road bike, and the widest ones on cross... i've got a set of 46 Bontrager Race Lites that i really like... i'd be happier going wider in the same bend, but then I'm also 6'6"

GeWilli replied to Thomas Stone's discussion 'Speedplay frogs and substitutes'

Cyclocross Magazine Contributor Christine V has been using Frogs for eons in cross. I don't think she's replacing cleats excessively frequently. Lubed up the shimano's release the easiest. So easy that even a younger junior can accidentally pull ou…

GeWilli replied to Ian Landau's discussion 'Trainer Warmup'

Yes. I usually do the intervals on the trainer for a few reasons: Music. I refuse to ride on the road with headphones/iPod. Matter of principle. And I like music, helps intervals, and to push through the pain. Duration. Intervals are set based on…

That was a ton of fun. I wish I would've known it was you, I would've pestered you longer. Thanks for the words. Take care.
