swbkrun with us!!! - Closed (Page 153)

Hello everyone!

   Sorta non-Tri related - After 4 weeks and 30+ hours of drawing/coloring, I finish my series for the final exam.  We had to create three drawings of one or more figures. Each of them needs to look like it can be a standalone picture, but be correlated together as one whole.  So naturally, I picked Triathlon.  Swim, Bike, Run.  They call can stand alone, yet when they all together, they make a triathlon.  See if you recognize one of them...

I normally HATE Life Drawings. I could never do "well" with live models, but from photographs, I do pretty well. :-)  All of these are done with colored (gray scale) pencils, posterized style (using only 4 colors, and tricks your eyes thinking that everything is "realistic" - but in reality they're blobs of one color).   

My teacher was really impressed and was more than happy to try to get two of them (the swim and the run. The bike was a bit weak) up for the coveted display cases.  I was really surprised with the swim because I thought that was my worst.  I'm a happy camper.

Sorry.. March Madness has fully taken my attention away from everything!!  Looks like some great stuff on nutrition. I need to catch up and share my (bad) nutrition habits!

LET'S GO BADGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Race has now been moved to may 8th.  I've signed up for 3 bike races this year, one has been cancelled, 2 have been moved.  Not sure if this is typical or not, but how the heck do you plan a season around moving races?

Fatty--I hesitate to ask, but what's a "Suzy"?

very cool artwork DJ.

Day off work, day off training = standing in line for the Ipad 2
