In May of next year there is going to be Ironman Texas in the Woodlands by Houston for those of you wondering.

Had a great 2:30 hour ride today....long run tomorrow.

I am thinking about setting up a conference call to discuss the last few days before an Ironman with all of you who are interested.  We will also talk about race execution which is a BIG deal at any Ironman but critical at your first.  What night of the week would be best....I am thinking of something around 6 or 7 central time but we could also do 8 or 9.  I think I can get a number for us all to dial in.....it will be long distance but with cell phones it should be okay....who would be interested????

Ride in the rain - stay off the white and yellow lines.  Corner slowly  -  be sure you have slowed down before the corner - no brakes in the corner - don't turn too sharp.

IM training....weekdays are about 1:30 hours or so, weekends are L O N G.....but if you start early you are almost always done by noon.....

Long run in the morning.....

BTW - body glide is good but try DZ Nuts for long bike rides or ASSOS cream....both are a little pricey but they are AWESOME.

It's been a decent week of training for me. Did a VERY modest "mini brick" on Saturday (30k ride, 10 minute run) then a 7k run on Sunday. Monday was to be a rest day but moved my swim session forward a day and did a very comfortable 600m. Yesterday after work was a 7k run and for the first time in ages I didn't feel like I was dying at the 5k mark!!

Off this afternoon to our cottage in PEI for an extended long weekend. Canada Day is tomorrow so we will be celebrating in Red & White Maple Leaf style!! Saturday we're having a BBQ for family and celebrating our 25th anniversary (2 days early). Plan to get 2 OWS practices 'cause I'm bringing my wetsuit a couple of runs in the 6-8k range.

Happy 4th of July to y'all. Mav - some day I am coming to Boston to attend the concert on the Commons which I faithfully watch on PBS!!

Oh Ca-na-da, Our home and native land, True patriot love ... etc.

We will definitely do a call.  Debbie and I got a contract on our house.  We are moving in three weeks of which a week and a half are our vacation.  Gonna be a crazy three weeks.

Two and a half hour ride today....very humid with the hurricane rain the last couple of days....tomorrow is a run and throw away a ton of sh#$% in the garage.....

Man you collect a bunch of crap over time....

Gary - is a bridge line a call in line where we can all connect?  I was going to set one up but if you already have one, let's use it.  Did you get it online or is it set up elsewhere.  I have seen where you can set one up online for FREE - my favorite cost.....smile.

sTRIve - happy Fourth of July to all - and happy Oh Canada Day there to my friend the Canuck....

Mav - did I miss your BIRTHDAY??????   Crap

seems like most folks want to at least try to get on a call.....

how would Sunday evening work???  I understand church and family and the like but the weeknight may be tougher????

Anybody have an issue with next Sunday evening?

OK Billy - the syrup has aged long enough now in the glass bottles on our dining room sideboard. I WILL get it into the mail this week.

Had a fantastic long weekend at the cottage in Prince Edward Island. Saturday night we celebrated our 25th with family and friends. Today is the actual anniversary date - I will celebrate with a swim at lunch time
