Broken Record

It's starting to seem that way, isn't it? If not, read on and it soon will because, you see, I intend to bitch about the temperature....again.
I was all geared up to ride my bike to work this a.m. I woke up to a bone chilling 19 degrees. I just couldn't do it. I totally wimped out. But, come on! 19 degrees! In April! I need a little more, ya know? Am I being too picky?
I may have to really suck it up soon as gas prices are looking worse and worse by the day. We are sitting at $4.14 a gallon for regular with rumors of another $.20 increase over the next week or two.
The good news is the skies are blue and the sun in shining. I have to believe that somewhere deep down spring is trying to make an appearance.
I still haven't been able to track down the mysterious Rachel. Where are you??

Looking for Rachel

Somebody named Rachel posted a comment about a month ago asking about the Kodiak Triathlon, but I have no way of getting back in touch with her. Rachel...if you are out there, let me know how to contact you!

Getting called out

So, I got a message from Drew saying there was a special surprise on his blog. He said this was motivation, but really I think he was calling me out for being such a blog slacker lately.
I knew it had been a while since I posted, but I didn't realize it had been quite as long as I thought. What a tool I am. So, thanks for the kick in the ass Drew.
Been pretty busy, obviously. I always think that winter is going to be a slow time of year but lately that has not been the case.
I did have some fun soaking up the sun in Hawaii for two weeks. We really need it after the winter we've had here in Kodiak. It's been pretty brutal with a ton of snow.
Anyway, one of the highlights was the day I rented a bike and road 35 miles of the Kona Ironman course. I'll tell you what, though. It's hot in Hawaii.
Haven't gone for a ride outside since that day. I've been putting some serious trainer miles in. I keep thinking I'll get my tired on asphalt one of these days, but winter is being awfully stubborn. It's presently 24 degrees with a windchill of 10. That's cold. I mean, it is April, right? DAMN!
