Great job Sean. I bit the bullet and handed over my $100 entry fee for my HM today so I have 6 and a bit weeks to get it together now.

Originally posted by StaceyK so just a quick question for the pod. Who pays a BT membership? What level are you and what benefits do you feel it gives you? Please note there is no agenda here other than I have been thinking of using the 20 week Oly plan (2x balanced) for the start of the summer, which I would want to import into my training log. But I also want to shift the days around a bit to work with my life. So if I had a silver membership could I do this. Or would you just go with bronze and import the rearranged plan as your own plan?

Originally posted by Jet Black I officially signed up for an international distance (1.5k/46k/10k) tri on August 2nd. I'm pretty excited to unleash all this fitness I've been busting my to build.

Thanks for the well-wishes for Dad.  The doctor thinks the pain is from tumor flare.  A spot of something did show up on the CT scan, but the doc didn't seem to be too worried about it.  They put him on prednisone and some strong antibiotic to help with his wheezing/coughing and in case anything new and ugly is brewing in his lungs. 

The poor guy got stuck (without exaggeration) 4 times at LCC before they could get blood for his routine blood work, then twice at the first outpatient center we went to for his scan, without success, so they sent us to the main hospital where there was an IV team.  Well, the IV team put two more holes in him before his vein collapsed at which point they finally gave up and called for someone who could access his port, who did so, but then forgot the heparin to flush it out with.  What was supposed to be a 5 minute procedure for the CT scan turned into 2 visits, 20 minutes at one, then over an hour at the 2nd.  What a day!  Dad was worn out.

I'm stuck pulling a very late night at the office and found a few pics from the website of the race I did this last weekend.  They also had a pic of my little super boy.  He had so much fun.

Kevin's been out of town for work this week.  He's in Greenville, SC and he brought his bike with him. Last night I got a text, "Awesome ride tonight on Paris Mountain. No wonder George (Hincapie) rides there!"

I love Greenville. It is on our shortlist of retirement places. Yes, we may move OUT of Florida when we retire. Do you have a Tupelo Honey near you? There is one in Greenville and a few other cities in the Carolinas (Asheville) and they have a grilled cheese sandwich with green tomato that is EPIC!!!!

Ok, maybe it is simply a pretty good sandwich and not quite epic
