Winter training
What do you guys do? I did my first itty-bitty triathon this September, it was a "super sprint" and I'm really hoping to do a sprint come next season which is double the distance of the super. As I live in a cold and very snowy place, I go inside to exercise in the winter, where otherwise a die-hard outdoor person and happily save my pool fare and head over to the lake as much as possible when the weather allows. I am about to purchase my gym membership and opted for the centre with a pool this time around so I can keep on swimming. I'm stuck on the treadmill and the stationary bike, but I figure it's better than nothing, and at least when I hop on the bike in the spring I won't be gasping for air. Anyhow, I was wondering how intense you train in the off-season. Should I just be doing a maintenance kind of thing for now and start building closer to spring? Should I start building now? My biggest goal is to complete a sprint. I did the SS in 56 and change, and the sprint I'm looking at doing is a much easier course (flat) so I'm hoping to come in under 1:50. I do need work on my endurance, I flagged on the hilly run (and I'm primarily a runner) so should I just start now? Also, I'm just curious what others who live in snowy climates do. |

Philadelphia: PRR Steam Plant Implosion
Made the early morning trek up to Philly to see this go down. I got there about an hour before it went down and staked out a spot. I was the first person on the block but even minutes after I got there people began to pour into the streets. I got a better spot for my video camera than even the lady from Controlled Demolition International (the people bringing down the stack) did. She was probably pissed. They did a poor job of giving people a signal when this was going to go down. The news said 7:30. Than the CDI lady said 7:45. It actually went down around 7:47. They usually let off a siren or something when it is about to happen but they didn't do anything. My video camera was acting up about 6 seconds before this happened and thankfully it started filming right at this second. I didn't even have to edit this video at all. It was perfect timing... While I was waiting I saw something that looked like a giant rat go under this Jeep. Some people and I walked over to take a look. We saw it was an opossum. Later on the opossum walked across the street through the crowd of people and dug under the fence and started walking towards the implosion. I don't think he even made it to the tracks but wherever he was I'm sure he got a rude awakening. |

I got a tattoo.
 It is the brand from my grandfather's farm. He died when I was 14, but him, his farm, and my summers there has had a great influence on my life. It is on the back of my left calf. |

Confusion
I missed last night's hockey game because I was at church. I usually catch up with the action through the Strib writer's Twitter account. At one point he mentioned that Owen Nolan was out of action because he was tripped by Nicklas Backstrom. My first thought was that Niklas Backstrom, the Wild's goalie, was on the bench tonight so the back-up goalie was supposed to be playing. I wondered if Josh Harding had done that poorly that they put Niklas Backstorm in, or if Nolan was tripped while on the bench. There were a couple of other mentions of Nicklas Backstrom before I noticed the "c" in Nicklas, and realized that the Wild were playing the Washington Capitols, who have Nicklas Backstrom, and Niklas Backstrom was safely tucked away on the bench, not tripping teammates. Confusion immediately dissipated. I am sad, though, that Nicklas and Niklas Backstrom didn't get to play against each other. I've also just decided that goalie has got to be the most boring job in the NHL (or soccer*). It could be the ADD speaking, but that guy is just left standing there, staring off into space when the action is at the other end of the ice/field. He never gets to go to the sidelines to talk to a teammate--never gets to come of field/ice and say "Whoa...awesome play!" I mean, except for period breaks. And if the play happens in the first twenty seconds, who's going to remember it and want to talk about it? They've moved on. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the ADD talking. But still...I don't like to talk much, and I think it's sad to be alone for extended periods. So says the girl who lives alone. *I'm an American. It's soccer. While it makes infinitely more sense to call soccer football (since it's played more with the feet) than to call American football football (since the feet don't often come in contact with the ball), that's the way it is. |
