Friday Funnies

Oh wait, that' tomorrow. Life is a blur right now. Working way too much; haven't had a day off in over a week, still a week to go before one is lined up too. Poor me, yah right. Late August early September is the only time of year where I actually attempt to work for a living. This year I especially have to, but that's a whole other issue.

Anyway, went for a ride yesterday with Dawn, and my soon-to-be brother-in-law, wow-that's-a-lot-of-hyphens. (Good thing I'm doing a copy-editing course in September, eh?). Mike is a RCMP officer on the Sunshine Coast and this year he's riding the Cops for Cancer fundraising 7-day road ride. He's built much differently than your average cyclist: more like a wrestler. dawn and I rode our mountain bikes so that the terms would be a little more even, or so we thought. Mike was a power house. We had to work really hard to shake him loose on the hills. I have a feeling that wrestler's going to do fine on the bike for 7 days. He's the one in the pic on the link above with thighs as big around as my waist.

As much as I've been working, I've also been lazily watching far too much late night TV which is contributing to my generally sleep deprived state: even athletes let it go sometimes. The final season of the Sopranos is on right now everynight from 10-11. I can't miss it. Also can't get enough of Rockstar:Supernova. Lukas is my guy. He is just so entertaining, kind of like Mick Jagger. I'm not a huge fan of either one's music, but you have to admit that they are uber-talented, and super entertaining.

Now to actually talk about triathlon: in the little spare time I have right now - actually I'm the king of multi-tasking so I watch TV and write at the same time - I'm working on a points scheme to maximize my training. It will award points for things I do that contribute positively to my training, and subtract points for things I do that contribute negatively to my training. I'll post it in its final form so you can steal it, publish it and make your millions with my ideas (actually I learned them from elsewhere so they aren't really my ideas anyway).

Good luck on Sunday Simon!
