An ordinary weekend...

Sat, I had dinner with some friends. The conversation quickly turned to me, the love of spandex and shaving. As triathletes (and endurance atheletes), u know how good spandex feels. Shaving wise...I was asking around to find the best way. I shaved last Sat but the hair is coming back. Need a simple solution that doesn't require too much time and don't have to do it once a week. Getting use to the smooth skin and loving it in a heterosexual way.

As I told Nicole, there are two reason why I bike. Shave legs and spandex....oh u can never get enough spandex :D. See if u ain't a cyclist and u do those two things..u are weird. But the minute u become a cyclist, it is natural :).

Did my best yesterday to get people from Church to hit the beach. Two girls don't want to go b/c they might get a tan. What's with this culture of keeping skin white and blemish. You can but u are missing out the fun in the sun. I manage to persuade one girl to come. She got her Convocation tomorrow (today) and she was afraid she would get a tan. I didn't told her on the way back she got those sunglasses tan (you know, the one that makes you look like a raccoon) :D.

My mom bought bunch of chocolate and some rice krispy squares. I was telling her why she bought so much. She told me b/c I like to eat them. I showed her my race schedule and explained to her I am on a strict diet until after my 1/2 Peterborough on July 9th. They are so distracting :).

I also told her that I would come back in time after Muskoka Long Course and we can go out for dinner for Father's Day. She said it ain't necessary to go out b/c the restaurants will be crowded. That's one thing I like about my parents. They like to do their own thing and not always go with the crowd (can this explain my craze for triathlon?).

Yesterday on the swim, some lady was passing someone and her head hit my head. Ouch. That startled me. I quickly got back into the swim. My head and neck is fine. I had every urge to tell her to be careful and she should watch where she was going. But I didn't. I had only one focus, my swim.

She was wearing fins. Everytime she passed me, she created a wave. That's good. Good to stimulate open water.

I was planning on doing a 2 km swim over the weekend. I didn't. Body needed rest. Tonight, open water swim with someone I met on Toronto Triathlon Club. Then head over to the community pool and swim 2 km (break them into 500s).

This week I am getting more open water experience. Wed, open water swim with Enduro sports. Fri, open water swim with coach. I am hoping either day I can at least 1 km swim in. It ain't that bad. That's about 24 min swimming.

See how my legs feel. Might put in a long run (more like a short run, an hour and a bit). Good thing when your legs are tired, you can still swim a lot.
