Look at your arms. (I know we've talked about them before, but, still; they are worth mentioning again.) How many minutes a day? You should write a book.

Well my sprint for this weekend is cancelled. Terrorism wins this one

Blah, blah, blah, run lots, consistency, blah, blah, beer, beer, more beer. Workout consistently, drink beer, blah, blah, blah.

But I paraphrase

Don't spoil the ending!

Oh no! What happened/who got afraid?

JAY BENSON CANCELLED

Regrettably, due to the Boston Marathon incident and the resulting heightened security at Kirtland AFB, last minute security requirements for civilian entry to the Base have left us no alternative but to cancel the Jay Benson Triathlon. 

I though blah blah blah WAS the ending!

Hands-Marie must be passed out cold. She's missing some good stuff here. Blah blah blah

I would have had an issue with this until I saw that it was on an AFB. I hate to say it, but I gotta agree. I'm sorry TJ, were you doing this one with DS1?

Yeah. Sigh. Kinda hard to hold the race without the civilians.

On an only slightly random note, is Camp Pendleton tightening up as well? I would really hate to see the races there go.

THIS YEAR'S RACES: Lots of 5 and 10Ks and bike rides (one of which I get to do with Kirsten in a few weeks!!), and perhaps some track meets (1500, 3k, 5K etc.) AG Nationals (Olympic Distance) in August. Planning to run cross country in the fall before jumping back into marathon focus for Boston 2014. My training partner is doing Cal. Intl. in December hmmmm …

Oh yeah, and I am going to do a beer mile in a few weeks. Look it up. Serious business.

Did you you have a leeeetle race on April 15th too?

I don't disagree with the decision but it makes me sad. This is one of my faves because it's on the base the run and ride are closed to traffic, part of the ride is along the airport runway (super cool), and it's a serpantine swim in a 50m pool. I also like it because it's Mothers Day so DH and the kid(s) come to spectate then we go do Mother's Day-ish things.

No... DS1 isn't doing tri's... yet.

I know! Here I am, trying to entertain her and her 14 hands. I even posted a video!

Went on a pretty awesome bike ride yesterday. Hint, it was called the "Brews Cruise"

Sadly I didn't get to do the whole ride on this bike.

I noticed that there have been a lot of recent wetsuit purchases in the pod.  I think that it's important to have some background on how wetsuits work.  Sure they add buoyancy and that's handy (especially for certain adult onset swimmers) and the keep you warm but how exactly?

Wetsuits works by keeping an insulating layer of water next to your skin. So wetsuit has to first get wet and you have to warm up the water before it protects you from the cold water. 

So, while they do keep you warm, you do still have that initial shock. It also means that if you have a chance to do a warm up swim, that it really helps to fully submerge and dooo eeet!

Agreed. OK, so is the other son, ah man, I can't keep this straight. Which one is Yanti stalking?
