Alright. It’s Wednesday. 4 days until the race.
I’m doing my best to take it easy. I’ll go out tonight for a short run, 20-30 minutes at OD effort. I haven’t been training on my bike this week because I spend so much time cycling around town anyway I’m not too concerned about keeping that in shape. Tonight will be the big bike cleanup.
I started packing my transition bag last night. I’ll do more tonight but won’t be able to really finish until Saturday.
I picked up a tri-suit the other day and I’m not sure whether I should wear it or not. It’s very comfortable, just slightly naked feeling. I’m also not sure I should switch to something I’m not as familiar with.

Here’s a smart move. I decided to wear the tri-suit to work today. I wanted to see how comfortable I was in it and see if that comfort would last all day (followed by a short run this evening). Well, it has been comfortable. The catch is, any time I want to use the restroom I have to completely take off my collared shirt, unzip the tri-suit and pull it almost completely off so that I can do so.
Not my wisest decision.

A great shot at the so-called “Alliance to Save Nantucket Sound” or, more appropriately, the Anti-Cape Wind campaign. Leave it to the Daily show to point out just how ridiculous these rich, self-absorbed so-and-so’s really are.
Imagine that, having your baby sit in front of a television DOESN’T make them smarter! In fact, it slows their development. Who’d have thought?
