2lbs!  Jammin, WTG!  (considering it was Cali, isn't "jammin" surfer talk?)

Seems appropriate:

I'm so getting one of these after every race.

LOVING IT!!!!!!!!

LOVING IT!!!!!!!!

That is friggin wicked! Thor are you keeping track of the paraphernalia you have to get for your tri club...the Beer Jersey, and now the Mug! 

Thanks Bob... Appreciate it!

Thanks Bob... Appreciate it!

Well, got into the pool for a nice leisurely 1000m today and it felt good! Had a couple back 'twinges' but I basically just slowed down,,,practiced my bilateral breathing, and tried to enjoy being on the move again!

Goals got kind of derailed but I guess thats life right! just got to get back on the Horse!

Facing triple the fires in this cold has put me under the weather.  Decided to go out and ride on our first day of sunshine in about 3 weeks.  Enjoyed the crap out of it, stayed in z4 for 40 minutes and z5 for nearly 20.  Tonight, we eat at a pizza place where you can reserve your own beer tap AT YOUR OWN TABLE.  We're drinking canebreak (local beer) and andygator (another louisiana beer that'll knock you on your .)  If this doesn't make me feel better, nothing will.

I'll drink one for each and every one of you.

Oh, how I have felt your pain!  The fact that your little one has been such a good sleeper up to now is a good thing because it means that Dorothy will go back to sleeping for long stretches before too long.  The trick is to figure out what is different... Is she sick? Is she getting enough to eat? Is she learning to sit up and wakes up and wants to practice?  Does she miss her mommy/daddy? (My son went through this - I'd walk into the room and the crying would continue.  Heidi would come in and he'd start smiling).  Have her nap habits during the day changed?  If you've asked yourself all those questions with a no - then  you might want to go back and try ferberizing ... let her cry it out for progressively longer periods of time.

I know - nothing revolutionary... I hope sleep returns to your house ASAP!

Burd - 2013-01-18 5:47 PM Well I feel like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs now.  I know it's only a 5k and I can run that distance no problem.  I haven't done a race for 25 years!!!  The butterflies have landed.  I went and picked up my packet tonight and it is now starting to sink in.  This is exactly why I wanted to do a few before the race in May.  Well bright and early #769 will be there standing tall   Kinda cool number to have also, lol.

You will only get really scared at the start line for just a second or two...breath...do not let that fear take you over...you have trained and are healthy; 

Tonight, vision your day tomorrow, start to finish, wake up to the last sip of your celebratory beer!  Be aware of your breathing and relax while envisioning the race. Replay your day over and over; consider how you will handle adversity or obstacles that may arise.  

You will do great!

69 good grief!

Love that first line!   Hell - your biggest worry should probably be getting heat stroke

Tomorrow - start out nice a slow, enjoy every moment, and finish strong.  Before you know it, you'll be chuggling a beer at the finish line!

Prost!

Ha ha ha...sorry guys it never ends...just when you think you can rest your weary head and sleep they start driving, going on dates, meet a special someone and you are sure they are up to no good because you remember how you were at that age, you are awake waiting for them to come home safely, then they get married and come to visit with kids of their own that keep you up all night!

I am telling you, I know this as fact!  I only slept for a few years and I am exhausted now!

Remember to run with a pleasant face...never know when someone will be taking your picture!

other than all the fires, that all sounds fantastic! Good for you for hitting it hard!

1550 meter swim in the can followed by 9 mile run. At about 800m into the swim I thought to myself "doing triathlons is tough and takes a lot of work...regardless of sprint or Ironman". Run felt great as it was sunny and mid 50's.

To top it all off, I bought a Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp brew for my tri partner and he shared it with me. Good brew. I also bought a Breckenridge sample pack for this weekend. Have a good weekend everyone!

Kudos on the workout Dr. Bob.  Tramp stamp is a tasty beverage and Clown Shoes is a great brewery here in MASS.  Clementine (a wit) and Hoppy Feet are really good as well.  I had a Breckenridge Christmas Ale with my pizza tonight.  It was way too malty for me and I poured it down the drain after chocking down half of it.  Now I'm having a double wide IPA from Boulevard - much better.

Thanks for having one for me.  Killer ride!!! You earned every once of those icy cold beverages - I've got to find a place with my own tap.  How cool!

Thanks Alex... Good luck on your race tomorrow! I am excited for you and cant wait to hear how it went!

Definitely haven't answered no to 'All' of those questions, she has been spitting up quit a bit more but we thought that may be in relation to the introduction of real food into her diet? My wife can always nurse her back to sleep but we want her to be able to self sooth. A lot of friends have said that the first kid is always the worst sleeper because of how much attention they get so that might be it too. We think the biggest reason may be that she doesn't like to be swaddled anymore and startles herself awake with her arms.... anyways...thanks again for the tips and we will let you know how it goes!

I have a question about tires.  For a training tire that doesn't go flat often is it worth buying something like the gatorskins or a less expensive tire for less that half (if not more) the price.  I am new to the world of road bikes and the knowledge of tires and the like.  I don't have any hills at all within the entire state so descending at warp speed will likely never happen.  There are so many claims and statement that my head is spinning.  I would like to get something affordable if it is worth it.  That way I can carry a 3rd tire with me in case I get hit by a meteor shower (stranger things have happened)  

I have had great luck with Gatorskins. I am not worried about speed and I am more interested in not having to change a flat in a race or training. If you ever get a chance to help someone out with a mechanical issue during a race, I would suggest it. It will make you feel great and it will likely brighten the day of the person who was just thinking how bad a day there were having.

I am feeling pretty sore tonight. I did hit the bike and run a little hard this week. It finally hit me that I have my first 5-6 plus hour race coming up in April and I need to be moving towards volume.

Off the East Texas this weekend. Stay tuned for Breckenridge beer updates as well as my usual running with pitbulls!
