That would be awesome... I think it would be nice to shift all timezones back 1 position.

Hey, everything we do during this hour we get to basically redo. So if I say the Sun rotates around the Earth it won't count when I say it again at the next 1:30am. Kind of like time travelling.

That's pretty awesome!

I ran for the first time in years this morning. Not far maybe a mile or two, but my puppy was well being a puppy, so I went on a run with him to wear him down. It worked.

Running is silly. That puppy is lucky I like him.

Yeah.. prices in the actual park at the bottom. I don't know what the rest of CA is like but I'm sure they're lower than that.

Ouch.

So this weekend I didn't eat for 30 hours (I am a youth leader for my church and it is a worldvision fundrasier) we had a meal to end the event at 7 or 8 last night then went out for a beer. Then I lose an hour of sleep after only sleeping from 230am-8am the night before (on a floor) and get to go race (waking up at 530). Twice. The 4/5 race was going pretty well, even though the wind was brutal the longest streach and a cross wind on the second longest) I was top 10-14 going into the last corner with a team mate in front of me with less than a mile to go. The someone to my left blew 2 spokes and went wide and I was in the grass/sand (embarressingly my second time this occured in the race) I lost a lot of positions and was spent just getting back up to speed. So pack finish.

https://connect.garmin.com/activity/72826502

The 3/4 was thankfully just 3/4 this week, I was dead but was riding for fitness. Last week I just did 2 min or so, this week I wanted to finish. I did barely about 30 sec of the back of the pack. At the end I just lost it in the wind and pedaled softly accross the line by myself. Quite a few dropped out so I didn't feel too bad. The wind also somehow got worse (maybe just the smaller field) luckily a break went and the two teams just softly pedaled most of the race. So it was easyish, which fit my exercise goals, but not my wanting to do well goals. I gave a half lap bridge/pull attempt but it amounted to nothing with all the other teams just sitting on. The 1/2/3 break almost passed us (a 3 man group that included the local "fast guy", but must have faded at the end because I didn't even see them when I was back.

https://connect.garmin.com/activity/72826486

Next week I may just stick with the one race.

The exciting part is that we actually have power over the movement of the sun.

An acquaintance of mine just got her waxing website up. One item on the men's menu caught my eye :

Brozilian $100

I'm still chuckling....might have to get one once speedo season rolls around.
