Coincidentally, I got an email this past week from a girl from high school - I never really even said a word to her through h.s.  No idea how she got my email.  Yet she wanted to be my "friend".  So I created an account and got about 6 more friend requests since then.  Again, high school people who even after I checked out the yearbook, still don't know who they are. 

Heh heh, welcome to the world of triathlon.  Initiation is a beyatch.  Funny writeup.  We've all been thru that type of stuff.  Except the ben-gay.  At least now I understand why it ended up there.

awesome race report!

rode my bike, read my blog. LOL i got a little worked up. HA HA

Man, I can't even keep up with this thread.  Team Chatty was no joke, I see.  Anyway, just checking in here.   I'm fighting a minor knee injury, which is making my running pretty miserable at the moment.  Any faster than 12:00 pace and the knee starts screaming at me, and I can't actually maintain 12:00 pace without regularly running into the front of the treadmill.  I guess I'll have to get used to it if I'm going to make it through the month.   Other than that, got a 45 minute swim planned for later, and my first yoga session (I'm slacking there, sorry guys).

Hey folks

I finished my race, but will not be able do do my report 'til tonight.  I need to get some work done so I am going to hide my computer.

Hope everyone's day is going well.  Congrats on the race Rudy.

See y'all around! 

Cool.  I got another Facebook friend.  I'm such a worldly hip guy aren't I! 

I'm just not up on my Facebook stuff yet.  Not even a photo posted.  One of these days I may make it to the 21st century....what's this newfangled device, the "Sell Phone" or something?

Congrats yourself, Melissa, now make sure you get work and then the report done, i am looking forward to reading it!!

i NOTICED you didn't have a photo up! naughty naughty!! and after all the pics we chicks have posted on here (well, ok, it hasn't ALL been the chicks ) i'll send you an invite to some of the games i play on there. (parking wars is my favorite) you can pick and choose what interests you. and i cant' really laugh at you too much with your "sell" phone. as i've only had one for about two weeks. LOL well. that's not entirely true, i HAD one, for maybe 6 months, but it was in my pocket and i dropped it in a toilet, and i never really bothered getting a new one until VERY recently. mostly because dh was tired of not knowing how to get in touch with me when i was out.

Great job Rudy and what a detailed race report

Knock knock knock ...

Hey folks.  I'm taking a little break.  I'll get my race report started, but I don't know my times yet.  I bought a watch for my last race, but I never remember to start the chrono and mark the laps.

As soon as the results are up online I will post my RR.       Also, I got up at 3:15 this morning to get going for my race.  I think that I will be taking a nap shortly.

Congratulations! You finished and I'm sure did a great job!

Alright-I promised a wetsuit photo so here is a shot from this morning. Some random person took it for me. Next time I will get a profile shot so you can see how skinny I look in my wetsuit. Personally, I don't like this photo, but a promise is a promise. Unfortunately the resolution sucks and I apparently don't know how to post it correctly.

BTW- It is fairly obvious that it's not a tri suit. It is a Harveys diving suit from the mid-eighties. I like it alot, except it takes way to long to get it on and off. But it only cost me twenty-five dollars so I'm not complaining. When the suit was new it would have cost at least $250.

Hey-where is everyone???

I put up my race report.  I did a lot better than I expected.  Came in 68/302 overall and 9/30 in my age group.  My strongest leg turned out to be the swim.  I came in 5th in my age group and 29th overall.  I was only 1 second behind the fourth AG finisher.   You can see the rest on my RR.

The swim time is a little strange in that you have to run quite aways before you cross the timing mat. 

 That rockin' vintage wetsuit is a couple of sizes to small and takes about four inches off my waist line=less drag.

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....big yawn. 

I have been up for nearly 19 hours now and there is no one to chat with.  I guess that I will turn in for the night. 

I'll chat with all you horny melons tomorrow.
