TANSTAAFL

Oh man, I love that word. What can't it encompass? And also, labels you a total geek. Ahh, being a total geek.. I love being that too.

Anyways, not much going on. The drive to work is a little boring, but I've been listening to a lot of music, so I'm excited that the new Tool album is coming out. I'm sure I will listen to it like crazy after I get it. I don't know why, but I just like listening to the same thing for quite awhile, then switching to something else.

The biking is coming along great. I feel really strong lately and seem to be able to hang with the big legs.. though don't know how long that'll last. We'll see. Been riding a lot, runnin a little though I'm taking a break at the moment since my shin is all funky, hopefully taking a week off running will let it heal enough that I can start getting some serious miles in. Stupid splints.

Ok, well sorry my posts have been so infrequent, and stupid when they are posted. We'll see if I can get better at it. No promises though. Thanks for all the comments, makes me feel loved.

Gotta run..

Bike race..

Had a bike race on sunday. It hurt, a lot. Was doing pretty good for the first lap of 23 miles... and then about 7 miles into the next lap.. PSSHHT.. bike tire goes flat. Didn't have any tubes on me (stupid stupid stupid) and I hadn't given my extra set of wheels to the wheel truck since I couldn't find it before the race (stupid stupid stupid..) so I got to ride the rest of a race in the back of a pick-up.. yeah.. it was fun. Got burned all to hell though.. but first bike race.. I'm pleased. Marked a few breakaways... our team controlled the pack the entire race.. and one of our guys one, and another got third. I never would have been able to win the race.. but I'd have liked to have done more for the team.

Anyways, WoW has me.. Damn you Sean. Also, Joey.. I'm going to be in Tucson the first weekend of June if you want to get together or anything. Already got my tickets and all that jazz. WOOT!

Work is work... luckily I'm a master of killing time since that is basically what I do now.

Brother had another kid... cute little bugger.. takes after his unlce if you ask me. :)

Did a brick work-out (bike-run) today with some of the guys at the shop.. holy crap can they move. I felt I did pretty good.. the run I had was good too.. didn't have my TT bike out there.. but nearly kept up with them on the ol' Roubaix... I'm currently having mixed feelings about it... but perhaps it was just anger from the flat tire.. (stupid stupid stupid..)

Alright, bed time..
