Shrinkage

Did 3 crits today. First race was in the low 40's, when I left my house it was 33 degrees. It's been cold the last few days.

Got home and soaked my legs in the swimming pool for ten minutes. The pool is unheated. If you can imagine someone standing in a pool in a speedo while wearing a flannel jacket, you are either very odd or a bike racer.

When we went to the Fiesta Bowl, it was 38F outside, and Thing One (age 10) wanted to go swim laps in the hotel's outdoor pool -- which is really under-heated. It took him about 200yd of butterfly to get comfortable. Gah.

I've done my share of mountain lake swimming, but I wasn't getting in.

No darn it, I missed it. I used to be hooked into that end of the sport pretty well. Been a while. I think I did 120 a couple of times and that was plenty.

From my DVR to your screen... LMK if this gives you any trouble. It cut off early b/c of the football game pushing the start time out...

The email I got was from TS'es step-mom, I think I'd mentioned my mom, wife, and I are old family friends with her dad and step-mom. It was hysterical.
