Following on yesterdays clips of the benefits of aero dynamics and cycling.
This goes out to my buddy Dan (over at Obrats) and his Tri Buddies.
Its a clip on maximizing aero position on the bike presented by the Mr Ironamn himself Dave Scott
Enjoy!!

Rocket are you reading this...
Roger, I think you better take a lesson from Marion Jones. She also sat there and with great conviction spoke of clearing her name and punishing those who had made slanderous comments about her integrity.
Yeah, what did that get you????
How about 6 months in the slammer, read on

Back in 1990, aero bars, a streamlined position, sloped frame, disc wheels and wind tunnel testing was unheard of.
This report by Phil Ligget during CBS old Tour de France, sheds some light on the thoughts of the day 17 years ago.
Think about what is being said in the clip and think to what is used today.
And a side note, I still also have my original Scott DH aero bars (in addition to the clip-ons)

Todays video post of the day
One of the most classic finishes to a Tour de France I have ever seen.
The time trial that concluded the 1989 tour.
Laurent Fignon led Greg Lemond by 50 seconds.
Greg had brought an innovation that was being by the triathlon world at the time, clip on aero bars attached to his cow horns, plus he used the now legendary Giro AeroHead. Fignon elected no helmet, no aero bars and double discs (a real bad idea with crosswinds)
The finish is classic.
Somethings to take away from this:

The finish is classic.
Somethings to take away from this:
- it gave aero bars serious respectability on he cycling world
- it made Greg a mythic figure in the TT and in cycling. Greg was coming back from a serious hunting accident that almost killed him
Some personal notes:
- after watching this, I knew I wanted a set of those bars. A month later Performance had them in there catalogue. I ordered a set, waited a month on back order and fell in love with them the first time I used them. I still have them 17 years later in my garage. I will have to do a posting on my old biathlon bike
- about 9 years ago, while working Kathy Lemond called up to order something, lets just say I acted like a idiot on the phone as I told her how much I worshipped her husband and that finish. She thanked me, but i guess she thought I was whacked.
- Fignon (aka The Professor), he was never one of my favorite cyclists till after this race. The fall and winter, I could be seen wearing he yellow and black of his team, Super/Systeme U. I had a winter cap ,jacket and winter gloves. To this day I still have the gloves.
I just wonder, what if Fignon had gone with aerobars, and aero helmet and just the one disc, would have Lemond still have been the legend that he became that year by winning that year???
Spirit of the Marathon
OK, just ordered my tickets from Fandango for the viewing.
My wife was interested in seeing it also. So I am very excited
Be prepared for a thorough review he following weekend.
I might just make that my special column of the week!

Figo rumors (soccer related)
Just saw this at CNNSI.com
I like the idea of Figo playing in the US, but I wish the management of the Red Bulls try and pick him up. Newark/Harrison (where there new stadium is being built) is Portuguese territory and would welcome him with "braços abertos" (open arms in Portuguese) He would help sell out the new grounds, but more importantly he would be to the east what Becks is to the West.
I know the reuniting of Becks and Figo would be good, but do we need both of these two talismanical players on the same team?

I just found this shot in one of my folders, this was the pictutre I was looking for when I posted the above shot.
Todays lunch time run
Good run, a little on the cold side. I wore shorts and long sleeve shirt, a nice beanie would be fine.
Went complex to Drum Point to Old Hooper to Brick Blvd and back to complex
I wanted to warm up real easy and try to progressively just quicken up the pace every mile. The miles roll and it seemed on Brick Blvd where it went up, the wind also kicked up.
Over all I loved this run and came up with hopefully a great concept for a post next week. Did some great thinking.
I think I may have solved the shoe blister issue. I think the original Asics insole are causing them. I switched to a set of Nike's I had, and I had no blister issue. If anythings the shoes felt great. My knees are liking teh shoes, but not the cold wind.
The Stats:
6.25 miles in 1:00:43 (9:43 avg)
10:16
9:59
9:54
9:35

The Video Gem of the day------ part 2
And the second is an Olympic moment that helped to trigger the running boom here in the US.
This video is of Frank Shorter winning the 1972 Munich Olympic Marathon.
Lets hope that just maybe somebody in a USA singlet will create a new highlite.

Today will be a double dose of videos. Found two and couldn't decide between the them.
First one is from RunnerworldTV and shows why Brian Sell is a fan favorite and going to Bejing. These "blue-collar" guys work very hard.

See RAY Run....to the NFL draft
Ray Rice will fore go his Sr. year at Rutgers and enter the NFL Draft.
I can't say I didn't see it coming, but I was hoping he would hang around for one more season.
Guess he was afraid, that some young RB might upstage him the same way Brian Leonard was in his SR year. Wait a minute, that young RB was Ray. LOL
Thank you Ray, it has been a privilege and fun to watch you eat up yards like Pac-Man gobbling up pellets.
I would say he would be a late first rounder, early 2nd rounder.
Miami, NYJ, are you listening, Ray would be a good fit.

Lunch Time Run
I will make this short and sweet
Got out a hour later (thanks to a conference call), temps in the 60s and sunny.
6 miles in 59:16 (9:53 avg)
Plan was to stay 9:45-10:00 pace, had I not had to deal with poochies I would have been dead on.
9:40
9:56
10:21 (had to stop because of dog on trail without leash)
10:03 (ditto like above)
9:29
9:46
I don't mind dogs, but I would wish owners would keep there dogs on leashes. I am sure Benji, is perfectly harmless, but when he is coming at me barking and growling and wont let me by, I so start to worry. I'm just sayin', dog owners please go on your way.
like shoes, but starting to get weird blisters on inside of heel. I hope its just the insoles.

In Run observations
some thoughts
- I am getting two weird blisters on my heel parallel with the sole of my foot. It looks like my foot is rubbing against insole. I hope its not the shoes.
- Trail running is great except when you come up on a dogs with out leashes.
- Felt like late March out there today and to think its only January 8, go figure?
- I have to eat and drink more before runs.
Joe Gibbs resigns
News story here
Looks to me like ole Danny "Boy" Snyder thinks it may be time for $2M coordinator Greg Williams to take the reigns or is it???
Joe worked a miracle with this team down the stretch, considering the adversity they had to go through. Don't quite think so. Joe is a fighter and this has all the dealings of Snyder all over it.
My money rests with Danny taking his private jet down to Raleigh and talking to "The Chin" (Bill Cower) about returning back to coaching. I am sure that Snyder would make it Bill's while (can we say $5-8M a season?)

Last nights belated run and NEW shoe report
Since I went to lunch with Mrs. SJT, plan was to go run after getting home from work. This is usually around 6 so lets say it would be another dark run.
Right before I left work, my wife calls me and tells me my new shoes showed up. As you may have read previously, my ASICS Kayano 13s had to be returned because they were the wrong size. No one had them in stock, so they had to be shipped from some other source.
Whatever, I was excited. I got home, grabbed a very quick bite, got changed and went out the door. Lets say I would be running with the stars...that is using the faint light that is being emitted by them to see where I was going. My town has street lights sporadically placed. This was going to be fun.
I ran the Mathistown Route and that hill has 1/4 mile stretches with nothing but woods and no lights. I kept praying for cars, so I could at least see from there headlights where I was. Add to the fact that there were animal sounds and rustling coming from the woods, and I was spooked. But I was trying to concentrate on the shoes and I was not letting it bother me.
The Stats:
5.25 miles in 50:55 (9:42 avg)
10:28
9:58
9:31
9:15
9:18
2:21 (.25 @ 9:26)
Good run, but I do wish I had stuck to the pace for the first mile. I let it get away from me.
The Shoes:
My initial observations are that the cushioning in them is a little better than the cushioning in my Nike Air Coos. The fit is great. Enough toe box space, and just enough room so where blisters may not be an issue. It looks like to get a true assessment I will need another 40-50 miles on them, but so far very pleased.
My legs were sore after Sunday's workout, but the shoes did not seem to beat them up to much. Asa matter of fact, I would say that the reason I got away from pace was because my legs were feeling great. So big thumbs up on that so far. I will have to wait and see how I feel as the miles progress.
The only "bad" points I have is the insoles. they are very flimsy. I read that this might be an issue. So it looks like I may have to order some replacement ones.
Well thats it so far.
Stay tune, more to come......

Update on my new shoes
They showed up this afternoon, took them out for a 5.25 mile run.
Look for my observations on them in my report of my run, I will post it sometime later this morning.
For now here are some pictures:
The Rocket....
Listened to the press conference on the radio, This is what I took away from it:
- Brian McNamee sounded like a 15 year old trying to make up with his BFF. "I'll go to jail for you, Roger!"
- Roger Clemens, in my opinion, is trying to protect his ass now. He should have done that when McNamee was trying to inject "B-12" into it.
- Does Clemens and his lawyer "Rusty" think we are that stupid and dumb?
- And why would you hire a lawyer with a name like Rusty?
- Your right Roger you didn't take any banned substances, you just worked harder than everybody else at 45. You took your Flinstone vitamins (so did Bill Romanowski) and spent time in the gym with your personal trainer (who also claimed that your buddy Andy Pettitte took HGH and he admitted to it) and worked your ass off. Right!?!? And OJ and Robert Blake are teaming up to find the serial killer that is stalking celebrity spouses. GIVE ME A BREAK!
- Roger said," I'll do everything I can to prove them wrong." Yeah, right and I believe OJ said the same about finding Nicole's killer.
- I have never done a 2 hour TV interview under bright lights, but I have lied on occasion and one thing I do know....my mouth usually gets very dry that I need to drink water constantly. Get the picture?
After this press conference and the 60 Minute interview, my personal and professional opinion (as a sports fan) is that he is trying to hide something and that might be the track marks on his ass and the smear on his reputation. Not to mention that he might have to buy a ticket to get into the Hall of Fame in the future.
Roger do us a favor and admit to what you did. Your starting to sound like Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, and Tyler Hamilton. We know how there stories ended, and they vowed to prove there "innocence" as well.
For those who didn't see the 60 minutes interview, here is a link:
http://60minutes.yahoo.com/segment/128/roger_clemens
As a Met's fan and as a 16 year old I remember watching The Rocket pitch in the 1986 World Series. I was in awe that he could still pitch in the playoffs this year. To me he was always about the hard work. It was what he said he did, he worked harder. I had always heard the rumours. Then I read the Mitchell Report. It was like being a 10 year old who discovers there is no Santa Clause or Tooth Fairy. I hope it was worth it Roger, I am sure somewhere there is a 10 year old little boy, who is ashamed to put your jersey on. I really hope it was worth it?
Prove me wrong. Take the Polygraph test. If your innocent, you have nothing to lose. If you did it once or twice admit to it, tell us why you did it. We might just understand. We did when Andy told us he did it to come back from injury. Just don't make us feel like fools. Today was January 7, NOT April 1st. Baseball fans and sports fans in general are not fools. We support, forgive and forget. But not when our heroes and stars flat out lie and try to make idiots out of us.
Rocket don't try to throw a "spit ball" at us and act like it was a change up. Will make sure you are ejected from our collective memories!
That is all I have to say!
BCS Championship game....
Some thoughts:
- Can the BCS get off their love affair with THE Ohio State University?
- Jamarcus Russell and his Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat??? What's that all about?
- Jamarcus Russell, NFL QB. What is THAT about?
- Troy Smith? 2006 Heisman Winner? 4 Games, 52.6% completion, 79.5 rating; Are you Joking me?
- Is the Heisman really that relevant ANY MORE?
- After watching this debacle, if I had a vote USC wins the National Championship
- If they can have a play-off in Div I-AA, Div II and Div III, why can't they have one in Div I-A?

Random Sports thought
Very happy to see Rutgers win the International Bowl against Ball ST.
And considering I have been a Scarlet Knight fan since 1993, I have been through some horrible season. The last 3 years have been absolutely phenomenal, but after last years season. I can't help but be dissapointed with a 7-5 season and a "lower" Bowl appearance. Yes that is still better than no Bowl appearance but I expected much.
I also do hope that Ray Rice returns for one more season and decides to forego an early entry into the NFL Draft

Just in case you wanted to see it
This is the parking lot of Toms River (NJ) East HS where I ran the middle 3 miles of last nights work out around.
As you can see, there are cars in this shot, but last night there was nothing (but darkness). Beauty of this place was that it was very well lit, and smooth. I am glad I found it. I also found markings for the HS XC course, but it was way too dark.
My thanks go out to the TRE Raiders, for use of there parking lot :-)

Tonights Run
Busy day today, and it looked like I would never be able to get out of the house.
Had to go to SIL house, so took my stuff with me, and ran in T.R.
I ran from SIL house to TR East HS, and ran 3 miles around a well lit parking lot. Each lap was about .30 miles so it was about 3.5 laps to the mile. The run started at 5:16, so lets say daylight was non existent. Ad to the fact that this part of town, has very little lit streets, it made for some uneasy miles, thus my decision to run in the parking lot.
The Stats:
8.37 miles in 1:18:45 (9:24 pace)
8:53 (way too fast first mile)
9:14
9:24
9:17 (parking lot)
9:10 (parking lot)
9:26 (parking lot)
9:37
9:35
4:05 (.37 miles @ 10:58 pace)
I was hoping to keep the pace more at 10:00 min, wasn't happening. Legs feel good though.
Lets see how they feel tomorrow!
Not exciting, not pretty, but it was effective. I was hoping that the track was open and lit, and SURPRISE it wasn't! Had to make the best of it.
I was hoping for a 14-16 mile run today. But since that didn't happen; I will make the best of it.
Still very pleased with this week's training. I was very happy not to wimp out during the two very cold days, and making the best of adapting my runs to my schedule.

The Video clip of the day
This little gem is from 1984 ( I am a child of the 80s) and was filmed not to far from where I grew up. Its the finish of the 1984 World XC Championships. They were held on the horse racing track of the Meadowlands in Secaucus, NJ (right next door to Giant Stadium)
The participants are some of the biggest names in XC and running. From this group we would see a future Olympic marathon Gold medalist and as well marathon world record holder.

The belated Friday workout....
I know its a couple of days late, but here is the down and dirty of my run on Friday.
Me and Mrs. SJT were going to go to Atlantic City with my SIL and her friend, I got home a little late from work and just wanted to squeeze a small (originally 4.5 miles) run in. It was getting dark and I knew I was cutting it close to when we had to leave.
Well turns out, I wound up doing 5.25. I could have done 6, my SIL showed up a hour and a half later. UHHHHHH!
I ran my "Mathistown Route" (one of these days I will try to post maps.) The route starts out flat but by mile 1 you start to go up a hill. Nice thing is the hill gets broken up after the first 1/2 mile goes down and then once again climbs for a about 1/4 mile. This road ends at a highway intersection. I turn around and go back, only I cut through a development (adds about 1/2 mile) and then its just a matter of go back the way you came (I decided to go a different way home (so this added about another .75 miles). It was cold and a little windy, legs felt a a little sore but not bad. I am trying to keep the pacing around 10 minutes a mile, but its hard. The legs seem to just want to go.
The Stats:
5.25 miles in 50:42 (9:40 pace)
9:42
9:49
9:31
9:30
9:37
2:32 (.25 mile @ 10:19 pace)
and oh yeah, we went to Resorts Atlantic City , I lost about $10 at the penny slots, and about $9 at the nickle slots. Had dinner at "The Buffet", it was Friday night so it was seafood night so I had a great dinner of Salmon and crab. Just the perfect way to fuel up after a run!!!
More postings to come later about my long run, my views on the NFL playoff games and yes even my thoughts on the FA Cup 3d round ties (as they call match ups in the Intl soccer world)

More postings to come later about my long run, my views on the NFL playoff games and yes even my thoughts on the FA Cup 3d round ties (as they call match ups in the Intl soccer world)
