Back in the saddle again
If I were half as cool as some of you out there I'd have the Aerosmith video "Back in the Saddle Again" playing on my blog today.
Oh man, I must say it is truely amazing how much fitness I lose by just taking a few days off. I didn't even take them completely off and I still feel like I'm starting all over. But I am back into the swing of a regular routine. Yesterday I did a short run and short bike. I just finished a short swim a while ago. Nothing spectacular from any of these sessions, but man it feels good to be moving again.
There's just something about having a 70.3 mile race hanging over my head that motivates me.
I spent part of the evening last night in deep negotiations with my "official sponsor", M. There are 2 races coming up that I have my sights on... Jack's Generic Triathlon & the Marble Falls Triathlon.
I really feel the need to do Jack's Generic because it is anniversary race of my very first triathlon. The timing is a bit quirky. You see the race is on Labor Day -- a Monday. Prairieman is the following Sunday. On paper, I'm supposed to do a workout that will pretty much match my times that day anyway - but should I be racing any distance that close to a Half IM??
Marble Falls is later this month - July 30th, I think?! I'm going to check to see if Party Pat is up for that race.
And Finally...
My first subscription issue (Thanks M!) of Triathlete magazine arrived this past weekend. They had a pretty good interview with Peter Reid about his retirement announcement. Check it out if you have the time. Funny Story - I was talking to a guy the other day about the article and he looked at me kind of funny and asked: "Isn't Peter Reid a porn star?". *geez*
Lastly...
How long does USAT take to process applications? I turned in my app and $$ at BSLT registration. I haven't heard a peep from them. Should I follow up or are they just slow at processing apps?
See ya out there...

I renewed my card this year and remember it taking quite a long time for them to get my card to me.
Did you register online? If so, you might be able to print out a temporary membership card from there?
I registered online at the beginning of the year, and have STILL not received a card. I have to print a temporary card off the site for every race.
