Full Throttle Train Locomotive Sound?
Does anyone know what part of a modern locomotive makes the higher pitch sound that becomes apparent at full throttle? What I am trying to describe is a distinct "whirl" type sound that will almost drowned out the deep percussion of the main diesel engine if it is in notch 8. Are the cooling fans really that loud or is it maybe something else?
Answer:
It's both the cooling fans and the turbocharger you hear.

Training For The Ironman With A Baby Or Toddler
One of the toughest challenges in the world is finishing the Ironman test. It takes tons of commitment and constant training in order to making it through the running, biking, and swimming. There isn't time to take days off while training, which means you have to make the most of every day. If you have to take care of a little one it makes the entire process harder, but it's just another challenge to overcome.
Taking advantage of the BOB Ironman Sport Utility Stroller is one of the easiest options. It's specifically designed for Ironman training and the official stroller of the triathlon. If you're a serious athlete then this will be the perfect choice.
The BOB Ironman Sport Utility Stroller is a lightweight option with sturdy wheels and stiff suspension. This makes it much easier to move, especially when you're running. Best of all it can be transported with easy no matter where you decide to do your training. So there will be no more worries about wrestling a stroller along the way.
While it's great for running you're probably wondering what to do when training for the biking and swimming legs. Well, when it comes to biking you can simply add a seat or pull your child in a safe cart. Swimming is impossible, so we recommend scheduling those training sessions whenever you can find a sitter or have someone to watch him or her.
One thing you have to keep in mind about training for the Ironman with a baby is that it is much different than training alone. Running with a stroller or carrying a baby on your bike makes a simple run or bike ride tougher. In some ways, a baby can be seen as a little extra training tool. You have to work harder and therefore you train harder. You will probably notice the next time you do a running or biking training session without the baby that it seems a little easier.
This is the extra challenge that a lot of Ironman contestants won't get to enjoy. The goal is to push yourself to the limit during training so you can see whether or not you're going to be able to finish. Who knows, your child could actually help you win the race! In the end, it's all about making the most of each session, and sometimes your child is the key to your success.
The Ironman is a tough race. You are putting your body through serious stress and really testing your limits- mentally and physically. Pushing yourself during training is really the only way to be sure you are ready to make it through the race. When it comes time for the race you may just be glad that you had the extra challenge of training with a baby.
