I've looked into the eyes....

Gents.

Last weekend I dragged my over-tired, over-car-ridden family across the terrain of what will be our IMMOO course. I will be honest -- there were moments of relief, moments of terror and moments of confusion. At the end of the day I determined I will withhold judgment until I see the course from the hoods of a Kestrel - but something I hope to do soon.

This will be good.

Transition Area Hijinks

I have been thinking a lot about this lately, and I am thinking about bringing this to transition and start using it as a warm up. It would be great if Slim brought a thigh master, Adam a red, and cronz brought a TV with a Billy Blanks DVD.

New pony in the stable!

2 things...

1. Dwell? Impersonating George Costanza these days?

2. Notice this tidbit from T's email last week about nutrition.

Immediate Post-Race

* Remove all heat stress as soon as possible.
* Continue moving around for 5-10 minutes after crossing the finish line.
* Begin drinking fluids, especially those with sodium, carbohydrate, and
protein.
* Eat any foods that appeal to you but avoid fiber and spicy foods.
* Eat and drink as much as you feel like taking in.
* Do not drink water only as this may exacerbate hyponatremia.

Damn, I was really looking forward to that Chorizo burrito and plate of buffalo wings as I sat in the medical tent with IV's sticking out of my arms.

good article in Dwell this month about the mother land

Tommorrow

The swimsuit issue is giving me nighmares...

When I saw Amanda Beard on the cover, I have to say I was pretty excited. Unfortunately, these are the images I cannot get out of my mind.

Happy Training Weekend

13 weeks 1 day....

Had my first swim today fellers. 1000. 19 mins. Oddly enough, I felt that 3/4 of my limbs were stronger than they were before. Really noticed that cardio is off though, got really winded at about 8 or 9 laps, and muscled through the rest. Being in the pool felt great though. Seriously.

Soundtrack for your head

A local artist - wrote the song for her dad.

Some day I envision Ceci on stage at the fine line playing this as a cover...



Adam's question about repeating lyrics made me think about this.

Does anyone else yell at themselves on the trainer? I don't but I've heard some people do.

Our blog is going green

I've been doing a ton on "green" for different clients. This is a really interesting piece on the story of stuff. Well put together and highly regarded for its simplicity. Take a look...

I got a list of demands...

A little pill for those L4 days.
