tough ride

rode with an unknown group today - started from my usual 1st & oracle location - different than usual - many accelerations and quick turns - got to me at around 25 miles - got dropped - recovered and almost caught group when i came upon some triathlon team members - humbling - attempting to run 10 steady miles tomorrow (sunday 8/23) with english lynne - hope my legs feel substantially better in the a.m.

if you think you're about to blow your eating plan - try to start with a glass of water with a little lemon juice - wait ten minutes and rethink your impending doom

pet peeves

people reading on treadmills - people walking in the pool - morons doing "arms only" workouts - idiots wearing ballcaps backwards( or worse sideways)

im currently 8 weeks out from my next 70.3 triathlon in tempe - october 25 - there will also be some good athletes there - it's a good place to experience a race as the course is spectator friendly - if you're having a boring weekend come up and watch - if you decide you might come, tell me and i'll make a rally point so you can taunt me as a group and do lunch together - i'll buy beer post-race if i'm alive

if you are training hard (and you are) try and get roughly .8 grams of quality protein per pound of body weight - example 130 lbs = 104 grs protein
