I am glad you liked the Nuun! It's great stuff! I am also hoping to get speedplay pedals this spring/summer and also need a new seat. I too have that problem. Ouch. Glad to know it isn't just me! I was beginning to wonder :) Hey Beth! I am glad you liked the Nuun! It’s great stuff! I am also hoping to get speedplay pedals this spring/summer and also need a new seat. I too have that problem.

I bought some a while back, but never used them. When I don't drink water on a run, I want the calories of Gatorade. And after a run, I usually want some calories. Or none at all. So even though I have a tube somewhere I have never used them. Maybe I'll dig it out -- I have been drinking Smart water from my gym, and that gets expensive. (btw, sorry about Rod Gilbert! Of all the athletes I have run into, hockey players are the friendliest group I have encountered, and almost universally humble because almost no one recognizes them. I could sit next to Rod Gilbert and not recognize him.) I am interested in your Nuun experience. I bought some a while back, but never used them.

Are you coming to the StL this Spring for a run? Nuun straight out of the canister is a bit much for me, but I love it when I make it the night before the run. It is flat in the morning but still refreshing. Am I a nerd because just talking about hydration makes me excited for long runs? Good luck with the bike positioning. I don't have aero bars, so I will have to tinker with my fit to get these placed on my bike. I can feel the spring!!! Are you coming to the StL this Spring for a run?

Nice job loading your bike! i know, i leave all things technical to my DH, I've become so lazy w/it all! But I do think a bike fit could be worth it? and I agree, it's great to have the hubbies on board w/the running/tri obsession;-) I love the Nuun tablets they’re great!

I've had a few that just didn't work and one that I really like (Specialized Toupe). Finding what you like can be real hit or miss. Set up also plays a role, lots of trial and error and really tedious work, but worth it in the end. Speedplay, eh? Pretty swanky! Mere days and weeks until full-on outdoor activities can begin!
