Swam yesterday. I use next to no leg (partially on purpose) when I swim and my arms are tired today.

on a mountain
That would be awesome. My current PR is 19:12 so I only have to shave 13 seconds. The course is hilly though so it won't be easy.My Magic 8 Ball says you'll do it with seconds to spare.
Five shot Americano is my standard Starbucks order. In fact, it is the only thing I get at Starbucks. Before anyone pisses and moans about Starbucks being shitty coffee, there aren't a lot of places where you can get a five shot Americano without people looking at you like you're a freak. Order it from Starbucks and you get no reaction. Order it from Joe's Coffee Hut and you get "You want WHAT!?!?!?! omfgomglol!!"
because a 5 shot espresso you may as well be ordering the meth
5 shots may explain the fast 5K times. Not so much from the caffeine buzz, but the desire to get to the finish and a shitter.
^ I think what you are actually ordering is a 'Mericano... 5 shots... Hay-zeus...
Just got my hands on some rugby 7s world cup tickets for tomorrow. That should be interesting.
I seem to have let go of some of my FTS attitude today. My boss called in sick. I suspect he's suffering from the same.

My workout today consisted of 8 minutes each on treadmill, hand cycle, stationary bike and eliptical. The big boys get to do 12 minutes each... I was allowed to break a sweat so that was nice.
Definitely a nice pre-race pick me up! Fine for a 5K or 10K since it's over so quickly. I would never attempt that before a half marathon or longer. ETA: or anything involving a bike ride.
Another engineer at my company quit yesterday. As this place is essentially an engineering service company, that is about a 5% hit in revenue.
I used to caffeinate heavily before races except for the long ones, accelerated dehydration. For long races I would make my drinks with cold green tea.
On some of the better aid stations at 50K runs volunteers would supply you with 4 ounce cups of flat coke, between the caffeine and sugar you felt like superman for 10 minutes... then reality set back in.
Hmmm... looks like I should go to work now.
Last 100 mile MTB race I did only offered HEED for a sports drink at the aid stations. Not only does that stuff taste like shit, it gives me terrible gas. I ended up drinking a 50/50 mix of water and Coke with some enduralyte tablets mixed in. Worked well.
Started working with new software last night. The CPU is angry. I can't help but want to load all the sounds.
Coffee time. Zardonic's Bass Metal is blasting in my ears.

outside troy, montana...
I still gag at the thought of drinking Melon Heed after that was all they had at the Cohutta 100 when I raced it years ago. Since then I've always had my own powder in my drop bags.
manziel was released by the browns.
Got a little audio while "collecting data" in the \\\Volvo.

Is he a good starting pitcher?
I actually like HEED!
The first few sips isn't bad. But when you need to consume a few gallons it is the worst. If I don't need to drink a bunch I stick to water.
the last time Bear Gryls did a 100 mile race...
fuckit friday complete. if your bike isn't rattled to pieces by the bottom of bennett, it's put together right.
we left beers in the creek by where we parked. perfectly chilled post-ride, followed by food truck asian pork sandwich (and another beer) at the Hub's new shop.

Is it tomorrow yet?
That sound must be great coming out of that car haha.
The sound of an engine being internally sandblasted by dust, grit, insects, and small stones.
The intake noise is pretty impressive. Nice and quiet tooling around, but when you give it the beans it sounds like a portal opens up to the center of a black hole.
Someone should start a 2016 NFL thread. I can't right now because I have to go pee.
Air filter assembly on the way. Not much room between the trumpets and the fender. This wasn't exactly a kit I ordered from a catalog. Had to get everything installed before I could determine how much room I had. A good thing too. The filters I was hoping to use wouldn't have fit. Anyway, a little grit will be good for the oil rings.
i think it would be great instead of telling a patient you are injecting it you tell them they will be butt chugging it....
And make sure you snap the glove loudly
