Can't touch this...

I got my bike back. Yea! Took me 2 hrs to go to Clearwater and back to my favorite riding spot, Flatwoods...what an ordeal. I don't think I'll be using Tri-Bike Transport again - unless they get a closer drop off point - and return the bike faster. I had to drop it off over a week before the race, and it took a week and a half to get it back. I was darn near a month without my bike (dropped it off on the 22nd of last month...today's the 14th). I guess, for an Ironman, there wouldn't be so much riding in that time, with the big taper and bigger recovery - but this was not that type of event. Anyway.

Base workouts are interesting. Ride for an hour and a half and feel like you did hardly a thing. That was about all I had time for this afternoon - and I found my Garmin, although it was too late to use it today, so my Base ride was done using PE instead of HR. 18mph on flat ground and almost no wind is pretty much in my Base range. I felt pretty rusty on the bike after so much time without a "workout". Alcatraz was just for fun.

Now I know I've been attempting to disguise this post in dreary recollection of training recaps in order to draw your attention from the photo to the right. I love this commercial, and over dinner tonight, Mrs. Bigun and I, like married couples tend to do, simultaneous said that the wicked cool rapper-dancer dude reminds us of Tri-Dummy. So, in an effort to either dispel any rumors or embrace them, this is an un-retouched photo of said rappers and a recent full-frontal of our fearless friend TD. Well, perhaps Ex-Friend. After he sees this.
