Hey [MENTION=160999]Bah Humbug[/MENTION], you'll appreciate this.


I have a friend who races Ironman and Half Ironman tris. She is the type that actually tries to win.


She was originally a runner but can't run much anymore because of an injury.


Last week we were riding and she was telling me how she had signed up for a marathon and wasn't sure why, she hasn't run except in a recent half-Ironman in ages. Had a semi-idea that she wanted to qualify for the Boston Marathon, as unrealistic as that might be with no training. But when she turned 30 (she's 50 now), she qualified for Boston but then broke her clavicle a few weeks before and didn't get to run. The way she sees it, the qualifying times are just getting easier as she moves up in age groups.


So yesterday she ran the marathon and of course qualified for Boston. Haha says she never wants to run a marathon again, so who knows if she'll do it.


(I'm pretty sure she will.)


:)

Indy is on tape, and watching it as we speak. Unfortunately, I had a pesky Z2-3 ride to pop out before I was able to watch it. 72 miles, 6500 feet elevation. 4:33:00 with 4:38:00 total time. The only stops were stoplights. Yep. I was motivated to get that thing over with so I could watch this race.

Monaco was Monaco.

I think that a helmet company should design and bring to market helmet pairs for bald guys - the two helmets would have inverse venting to cancel the tiger stripe scalp tanning that I'm currently cultivating. :mad:

I don't think there was enough wind to make it "feel like" 87. Felt more like putting my head in the oven :)

Also, I couldn't find my SPF 70, so I made do with SPF 50. Hello melanoma!

I can't find a sunscreen higher than 50 that I am not sensitive to after a few applications. But Banana Boat Sport 50 never bothers me. I'm pretty confident that is good enough. 1/50th of normal sunshine is a kind of low level, doncha think?

A lot of food talk here but I don't recall a discussion on the pros and cons of dumpster-diving while cycling.

Maybe I should start a thread.

Enjoy Indy, it's one of the best I've seen in many years for lots of reasons.

Triple Thumbs Up!!!! That was awesome. Many reasons, is right.

I hope you get to go to Canada, as that's actually a track that cars can race on.
