It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Washed, drive train cleaned, and ready to race!

Not divorced.

We had a guest named Charles at work today and I asked my team if he was in charge. Nobody knew the reference. I’m old.

We are spaghetti so often when I was a kid that I came to hate it. As I got older the hatred almost intensified because I associated it with being poor.

But I’ve made peace with my childhood, have my own kid now who loves spaghetti, and recognize it’s a great refueling meal for…

I haven’t been posting pictures of Creami creations often, but still putting it to use.

This is Fairlife milk, sugar free vanilla pudding powder, stevia, and peppermint oil with dark chocolate chips. It is superb.

Too beautiful to ride the trainer today, so another workout in the wild.

Sweet spot 4x10 - avg power for each block was a little lower than target, but still a great ride.

And Garmin hit me with a surprise FTP increase at the end. Garmin likes something in my data.

I hate college sports in 2024.

You didn’t have to come at me this hard, bro. 😂

Yesterday’s sermon text. Pure gold.

Hebrew’s 10:11-18

Nice and easy to start the week off. The avg pace on my easy swims continues to trend 📉.

It’s race week!

The pup anxiously awaiting my safe return to shore.

What a race

Team 🪓

I remember being told the state belonged to Hugh Freeze now that Saban is retired.

Kid took a picture of my boy and me headed to the lake for a little open water acclimation.

No anxiety, perfectly comfortable in the water even with temp in the 60’s. The dog even swam a little. Against his will. 😂

Ready to crush my first race of the year on Saturday.

Camel tasting lemon for the first time

Tried a new fuel source during today’s run. Already a big fan of Untapped’s waffles, this was the first time trying the syrup stick.

Very sweet, but tasted good and went down easier than a Gu. Will try them on some longer days, but this might be my new go-to.
