Next Up?

Since I finished IM CDA, I have been sitting on the couch, eating cheesecake and watching the Tour de France, the Olympics and a "How It's Made" marathon on five separate channels via 1080p high def, wide-flat screen controlled by a newly acquired multi-function clicker that is ergonomically perfect for my right hand.  Life is good, and if my ever expanding waist line is any indication, my life plan is successful on all levels.

I am watching the movie Iron Man 2 while I type this.  It's inspirational in that there are regular guys that put on suits that make them superhuman.  That and Iron Man ends up with like twelve super hot girls with 4 inch heels and tight dresses filled out ever so nicely.  Like I said, it is pretty inspirational.  I might start exercising again.

I ran today.  It was pretty sad.  My knee hurt.  Tomorrow I might ride, which has to be better.  In 454 days I am doing Ironman Arizona.  See the progression?

IM AZ is a lot better suited for my racing style than CDA.  In Arizona, you swim in a canal.  How far off course can you swim in a canal?   They have cement bumpers on the course.  You get too far off course in IM AZ, you sort of get tossed back into the middle.  In the swim in Coeur 'd Alene, I got lost, I saw a fishing boat and asked for directions. They spoke Russian.  I was a little off course.
