Ramblings of an Ironman

Some random thoughts I have...distorted perceptions of reality I have come to embrace, here they are:

After months of fighting the penis/dick knees and a permanent racerback on my back, I have come to kind of like my sweet, strange tan lines.  I feel like this is a real tan. 

I secretly love (not even just like) when I get a "chain tatoo" on my calf from my bike.

Snickers and M&M's are totally great cycling snacks.

I now hate Gatorade and prefer "donkey piss" aka Ironman Perform.

I feel like I could fairly easily ride a Century ride most weekends.  (Well, maybe not in the offseason!)

An hour workout seems short...

I sometimes feel a little slackerish on Saturday and Sunday afternoons when my workouts are well over and I'm doing something relaxing now.

I feel the need to fill all water bottle cages, even if it is a short ride.

2400 feet of climbing seems like NBD.

I feel more sore and tight now than last summer?

It was delightful to get drunk after one beer.  I still feel like more of a lightweight than previously...which is kinda awesome.

Ironman training = a great ass.

I'm skilled at the art of air hankies, sometimes ;)
