It's Saturday. Why Aren't I On a Bike?

Right now it is Saturday morning, yet I am not on a bike? Oh--that's right, I have already ridden 115 miles this week. I do not need to be a on a bike right now :)

That is just one of the many perks of bike commuting. Not only do you save the world, loose weight, save money, and justify an expensive habit, but you can easily fulfill your mileage quota before the weekend. This weeks commute was:

Monday: 35 miles
Wednesday: 40 miles
Thursday: 40 miles

I read somewhere it is about $0.50 to operate a car. Since my car commute to work is about 30 miles round trip, I figure all the money saved, which comes out to $15/commute, should go to my cycling habit. After 160 commutes on a bike, I will have paid for my new Litespeed Teramo.

PS: I will probably be on my bike tomorrow morning. Going a weekend without riding is a sin afterall, right? My legs are just too bloody tired right now.

Jackasses!

Hey jackass! What about the aquabike results?

Actually, I am rather curious why there is no link to the official race results. Lame.

It's Go Time

The "aquabike" aka swim-bike-stop is 11 hours away. My gear is packed, and thanks to "the list", I actually remembered all my race gear!

At this point, I can't help but think about everything that I have done wrong. Let's see--the list includes:

• No wetsuit swimming
  
• No openwater swims
  
• No swim-bike workouts
  
• No t1 practice
  
• Yadda, yadda, yadda
  

Time to start practicing my pre-race insomnia.
