Meh, just some big parade or party or something in New Orleans.

I just came back from a short spin on the rollers in the basement.

I gave up after 30 minutes.

My hats of to those who can put in over 1 hour, I die of boredom and crap out somewhere between 30 and 40 minutes.

No early retirement?? That's what I am aiming for. Not going to happen, of course, but it's my pipe dream.

Actually, what I really want is to find a job that's 6 hours/week, 3 days/week, no pager, no call, no nights, and no weekends. That would be ideal. Also not going to happen.

Thanks. No response yet though. Ugh. "Not so bad" will sound better when I actually get a response...

I... am bad at relaxing.

Compare yourself, in suitable age group, to this:

Seriously, that's not terrible by tri standards.

Maybe not terrible, but towards back of pack for the swim. I am 47 years old, male. Again, I do well on the bike and ok on the run, but the swim needs work.

Luckily the first tri of the season is not until May, and I am committed to meeting with a coach and going to the pool 3-4x/week so I am hoping to make some real improvement in my swim time. I will continue bike 3x/week and run 3-4x/week so I figure those can only improve a smidge too.

Sure. However, you wouldn't be embarrassed or out of place. And you have a few months, and working on form can help immensely. So, no need to go be a duathlete.

Yeah, I know I won't be missing the cutoff time for the swim. Stay tuned, I am hoping to get my time down to about 2:00/100m by tri season.

Hey, my "pet peeve" thread fell of the first page.

I hate it when that happens!!

Well, start it again here. My pet peeve- emoticons, just hate the little smiling, winking, laughing hammering buggers.

:roflmao2:

Mine? too much tri talk, not enough tri tip.

:)

j/k

kinda.

And just be happy you're not within earshot.

You gonna do next year's Super Bowl halftime show??

Only if they let me lip sync like Beyonce.

By far the baddest ass half time show ever was Prince in the rain a few years back. Holy cripes that dude is a smokin performer.

Out for dinner at a nearly empty restaurant and back in time for the half time commercials.

Perfect.

Haha. Usually Funeral March of a Marionette for me.

Me either.

Beats me.

Mrs. rjones28 has a collection of drums. I ain't skeert.

I seriously doubt there is a drum kit on the planet remotely as loud as a Shiva 80 watt head. It's hard to trump A/C assisted amplified sound.

Gets any darker in the Superdome, Ray Lewis may stab somebody...

We watched The Dead Pool tonight, Mrs. rjones28 wanted to watch something with a car chase. The chase through SF with with R/C Vette is one of my favorites.
