Apparently.

I'm not a fan of stickers on cars.

It'll happen to me. But everyone basically starts together, so even if I'm last in the half, it won't look like it.

The sort of writing I do for work doesn't require a lot of creative thought. I'm just stating the facts.

The sort of writing I do here doesn't require a lot of creative thought. I'm just spewing drivel.

Wow, that's just a little off my solo cycling 26.2 miles pace.

Yup. It was a long time ago. I had a really busy week leading up to the event and didn't get enough rest. I maintained a pretty good pace initially (probably just adrenaline), but near the halfway mark my lack of sleep started to catch up with me. So, I laid down on the grass near one of the event traffic control points and took a nap.

One of the race marshalls drove me back to the start/finish area. I was pretty freakin' tired.

Awesome.

****, I'd probably do that without the busy work week.

I've fallen asleep during a couple Ironmans, and almost took a nap during a Half Iron... I mean, getting up that early, and standing around all day can really take a lot out of a person.

That's why you get a 26.2, or 70.3, or 140.6 sticker, so you can pass them and make them feel bad about themselves.
