that sucks. Heal it up quick.

take a look at last years results for the narrow and fat tire divisions.
http://nytri.org/results.cfm

the narrow tire is definitely more competitive and what I am going to try to get in to. the fat tire is still competitive.

Just so you guys know what my goals are for this race:
1st- as a short term training goal and a form of training in race conditions
2nd - if in narrow time, I am going for a top 25 finish.
if in fat tire, I am going for a top 5 finish.

Now those are lofty goals for me, but I feel I can reach them. Being that you boys are bread to run, then you should be able to meet those as well. Make them your goals and lets run the podium together.

ahhh! my gooch!

dude, definately fucked something up down there. I think it had to do with my seat but im pretty sure i bruised the inside of my legs. its where my leg meets the ass. fucking HURTS.

im thinking its a combo of the following:
+ i didnt get the new seat until i rode all the way to the bike shop (6.5 miles)
+ when they installed the new seat, i think they put it too high up (6.5 miles)

its definitely not blisters, but it hurts. ow.

you guys might find some of these article valuable.

Ran 4.63 miles in 40 minutes this morning.
Biking at lunch time somewhere around 1:30 and 15 miles

Jonny - how are you coming along.

Mike - I read over the weekend that beginning your training on a fixed gear is good for you because it forces you to learn the proper pedaling motion. Just remember to keep your knees in so you use your bigger muscles in your outer thigh and ass.

yippy

Cycling.
13 mile ride. new seat (i can feel my gooch again!). new water bottle attached to bike.
it was like 60 degrees out today. fantastic.

T-minus a month until the race.

Alright. So I just got word from Bob that these are good shorts and they are cheap, exactly how I like my women.
I'm ordering a pair right now.

Ahhhh nice work Michael. Much better message division.

These are the types of shorts I am talking about

When you ride a bike a lot, you tend to get some chaffage on the bum and that is painful. This is to prevent that. Basically bicycle shorts with a chamois material to move with your tight bod and prevent rubbage between the bum and the saddle.

Swimming

Ok, so I went swimming again last night. I looked like a wet dog. I could only do 20 laps.

One of my mom's friends at work has a daughter who is a swimmer. In fact, she's pre-olympic. I'm gonna talk to ma-dukes and have her set me up with a couple of private lessons to try to develop some kind of stroke, cause right now, this is just ridiculous. jon, i think that you should let me know when you are available so that we can go together and do a group lesson. I love the group scene. kinky.

Steve, do me a favor and post up a link for the chami-shorts? Thanks budddy.

DUDE

just pick a different template. thats the only way i found to get those divisions in.
