Well the past week flew by.
Went out for a brick session (run/cycle) up in Antioch on Saturday. That went alright...right up until I blew 2 (two!) tires. Jesus fuck this year is not being kind to my tires. The good to come of this I suppose is the fact I'm getting pretty good at changing tubes. It did cut short my cycle though. I also lost the pads for my aero bars (I'm guessing I left them on my trunk after attaching my bike). If the weather holds I plan on attempting this on lake path tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.
Was GOING to head to Palos and mountain bike today, however the Earth didn't agree with me and decided to blast Chicago with a hefty massive downfall of rain mid-afternoon. Normally I wouldn't let that slow me down but Cambr has been bitching up a storm lately about people riding the single track when it is muddy and they show up and bother people on the trails whenever possible. So instead of that, I watched There Will Be Blood and ate too much food. Wheeee....
All in all, for a guy who didn't really go out Friday, I managed to spend a ridiculous amount of money. Couple that with the fact I am going to be getting a hefty bill from james to replace the motherboard in my main computer (which has to happen sooner than later, I've had it with this thing). That is really thrilling...
I'm two weeks away from my first Triathlon of the season. Hy Vee in Des Moines. I'm quite confident on my biking and my ability to clock that in at right around an hour. Running has been a bitch in these bricks lately. To be fair, my diet the day before isn't exactly ideal, but I was hoping to be around 7:30 miles and around 7:50 is about what seems realistic. Some of that is dependant on how hilly the course is. Since I had the tube problems on Saturday I'm goiing to try to get more multi-sport workouts in between now and the 22nd.
Found out this week that work is very likely going to have me spending a lot of time in Seattle in the month of July and August. I'm a little nervous about that as it will fuck with the bike time I have (I'll run anywhere I don't give a fuck about that). Shit...speaking of work, I owed a blog post on Friday and didn't git 'r done. The search industry just isn't engendering anything interesting, and I doubt people are interested in listening to me wax poetic about my workout regimes.
