I had a super chill weekend. Family drove to a birthday party which I skipped and just enjoyed Copenhagen and my own company and some amazing weather all weekend. Did some gardening and got some good naps too. I really should have ridden my bike but I just enjoyed a relaxed weekend sitting in the sun and doing nothing. Rainy week in sight so will be more gym than outside riding.
Hi ho hi ho its back to work I go. One nice thing about a relatively new camper is that after a 5 day trip I have nothing to repair
'morning ya weirdos. Still waiting on my bikes/personal gear to arrive. 6 months and counting....fml.
don't tell alex jones that they're turning the chickens gay
Surprise trip to Laramie. Shit is still broke, I'm going to bed. Hotel is nice at least.

At le work.
Attempted to work from home today, but the girlfriend put the kibosh to that idea. She has the day off and wants it a lone to clean the house and do some trainer biking and whatnot. Fair enough. Its a good thing too, because I checked my calendar this morning and apparently today is the monthly management meeting that I need to join and report some bogus numbers to.
Accidentally a bunch of maintenance related bike stuff last night, man that stuff adds up quick.
Well, I did it. I'm officially a triathlete. Even though I didn't pee on myself, I swam, biked, and ran until they told me to stop.
No pictures of me yet because I'm not a selfie queen and my family didn't bother to come out. Hopefully there's a picture out there of me to prove that I exist soon.

Yard work yesterday, got a pile of brush cleared, a few bushes pruned, and the old garden torn down. Got the wife a new vacuum too. What can I say, I set the bar high.
Now to get the new bow dialed in. I have a feeling I'm going to be getting a new sight here soon...
Hey mang. 3000 yard swim done. Got four days of all day meetings ahead of me. The guy next to me is clicking his pen furiously and I am about to snap.
that's not the spirit of triathlons
also, that's a good amount of neon for your first tri.
Still in bed, current camping spot is at 11500ft. Milky way was pretty spiffy last night.
3rd day of high altitude riding coming up.

I didn't even wear any neon! #sad. I was mostly in black, my tri-romper was black with blue, a black wetsuit, black and gold helmet. I had black and yellow gloves though. Thought about rocking the neon yellow jacket and 100% briskers though.
colors have been kicking off nearly into full swing, been over 12k feet everyday for the last week exploring and running trails. Now that school is back in sesh I will hit the crowded ones on weekdays to have them to myself.
Insert evil laugh here
Car #1 just passed inspection. Car #2 will require a small payment to the inspection gods + a bit of luck later this week.
how are temps over there??
Advised a young couple just yesterday that the trail they were starting on universally required a locker, winch, and 35" tires by minimal standards and they should consider turning around since it was all downhill, out, and back trail.
Seen them while getting coffee this morning and they recognized my jeep after a discussion and found out that the car is with no oil pan and was still on the trail as they had to walk out last night.

RIP their car
You did awesome, sir. I stalked your results. You finished in the top third. Nicely done!
What were they driving?
I'm guessing a stock jeep.
But at least they had a spill kit ready, right?
This is some *bullshit.*
Were they from Vermont?
i paid for full coverage....it isn't coming back perfect....hehehe
Thanks! The run was...humbling. I was loaned a wetsuit at the last minute and it very much came in handy. Water temp was 68 they said. When I dove in, my goggles filled with water and I had to try and do breaststroke in order to empty them....breaststroke made breathing a challenge in the wetsuit. I probably only freestyled for 70% of the swim, yet I still somehow came in the top 25% of all racers. Yikes.
The run though...lots of hills and I was admittedly pretty gassed when I started. At least I finished!
Did a proper epic on Saturday, which was great. Went for a more reasonable ride yesterday and got stung by yellow jackets ~30 times, which was less great. Had to lie down for a while, was pretty woozy and seeing stars for a bit. Doing okay now, but feeling pretty wiped out by the whole ordeal.
