The Official "It's OK to miss a little bit of training because of Irene" Support Group

Already have 5 beers in me after a sprint this am and picked up a 6 of Shipyard Pumpkin with Tommy Boy (race dir from Griskus Races).

It’s going to be a long, fun, rainy night.

No midget yet but the night is young.

I just did a 4 hour ride on the TT bike with no hip pain (the pain that ended my tri-career). I have a case of Pumpkin Ale and am thinking of renting a midget. I’m prepared.

Quoted for awesomeness.

Good on ya, glad to hear the hip pain is behind ya.

Come on, Irene. Bring it, bitch.

You’d be awesome in a game of 80s song trivia.

Was (am?) supposed to do a 3 hour easy ride, but between strapping down yard furniture, figuring out a way to protect the garden, and bungee-cording all of my fence panels together so they don’t blow away, I’m already wet and tired.

Maybe I’ll whip up a quick generator to attach to the trainer for when the power goes out…

Come on, Irene. Bring it, bitch.

Are you thinking of “Come on Eileen”?

Totally. Sounds close enough and is a lot funnier.

FWIW, you got the source material right. I am a font of useless 80’s trivia.

I was out the day after Hurricane Ike came through the Houston area (eye missed our house by about 10-15 miles). The bike was a great way to survey the damage, which was immense, and not use gas.
