One of the great unanswered questions...
Quote | Reply
One of the great things about triathlon training is that you have a lot of time to yourself in the pool, on the bike and out running, to think through the great unanswered questions in life.

One that popped into my head this morning:

Did Dave ever find the best crank length for his Velotron?

:D

Was she leaning towards the side with more hair, or over-correcting the opposite way?

Pix would help, if you have any

I was wondering the exact same thing as I was taking my morning constitutional.

Hmmmm......

I thought the phrase "morning constitutional" meant a morning walk. I think I've been using that phrase wrong. That's too bad...

That could be awkward if you invited a friend to come on your morning constitutional with you. :-o

As I was dying on a brick run the other day - there was a little puddle and I nimbly jumped over it.

Then I thought to myself...am I being selfish? That does puddle actually want me to jump in it and rustle it up a bit? Does it get bored sitting there knowing that it will dry up and cease to exist? What if it really just wants a partner for the end of the world - someone to frolic within its confines so it can enjoy one more sediment stir before it goes gentle into the goodnight?

Then I saw a super cute girl....and that was the end of that thought experiment

Whew, Randy, tough morning.

The lady's hair and body leaned together, in perfect harmony.

No picture; it wouldn't be right. Human dignity & so forth.

(This morning the word "dignity" seems very far off and remote to me.)

That's usually a Sunday morning kinda thing, from what I remember

Hope things get better ... if not, try again/start all over tomorrow

Sometimes, in the middle of a deep endorphin buzz, I'll come up with existential shit like that ... usually in the form of song lyrics

But, without any sort of devise to capture it [no phone to record it, no Sharpie to write it], I forget the whole fucking thing

Kinda makes you wonder what would be considered UN-constitutional?

You can ask him on Facebook. He tried to pick up the conversation there (Team USA forum) after (presumably) being booted off ST. It didn't gain near the traction as his one-sided discussion with Frank. With race season starting, he probably had to settle on something after months of "testing".

He probably went back to 200mm cranks with his seat way too high

That could be interpreted a couple different ways. Both bad. One FAR worse.

I just woke up from a dream that my old aluminum roady was actually two casings and they split and I lost all the parts in waist high grass and I was in a panic the whole time trying to recover them and put them together because it was a warm and sunny day :(

I woke up and its a warm and sunny day. Should I check on my bike??
