Operation Booty

Last year at this time I didn't have an ass. I was shedding the winter weight but losing it in some of the wrong areas. My pants were falling off, i thought i was slimming my waist, nope just losing anything and everything that resembled my white boy booty.

This year the plan is to build a booty. Operation Booty. With the help of my coach Jon Brown, strength coach Cam Birtwell, and all round guru Kevin Jardine. We plan to build the booty up to the point where i can shake it with the best of them.

Here are a few of my favourite tunes to listen to while executing Operation Booty.

Legend. 1:40 I burst out laughing.

The size of an NFL linebacker with the speed of a running back, this guy makes any NFL'er look like chump change.

The Story so Far

This time around in Maui, things have been a little different. I'm struggling with a glute injury that has squashed my running miles and had a crash on the bike last friday that left its mark. Still having fun though and accepting things will follow their due course.

Last night I met up with Mhairi, Tim and Stella. Good times ensued. It is great to spend time with them on this beautiful island in the pacific.

Stella wondering just how to get that Cafe Des Amis Gecko!


Today was the first day back to some motions post crash. AMac and I did a good little ride which finished off with some rural motor pacing up Baldwin Ave. I reckon if Simon had this pacer for the climb he might.....might be able to break Ryder's claim to fame on the volcano:)

Lightweight

90' cadence ride the schedule said.

Can't sit on the trainer on a dry day like this. Roll out and head for the hills. O'Natural cadence ride, big gear the hills, spin the flats.

Before heading out i came across this video on Ronnie Coleman, good entertainment, the catch line served as a good theme to the ride.







Some of the steep buggers on Munns/Ross Durrance were quite the test seated. When the cadence dropped real low i reassured myself it was "lightweight baby", all the while listening to this and imaging Brukhankov wrestling a bear on his way home through the snow after power swimming.

Good ride.

Abandon Ship

A lot of rain in Victoria eh. The garage was flooded this morning. Noa's work electronics ok though.

Something like this can be really stressful and annoying, but if you look on the grand scheme of things it is not that bad.

Not that bad like what happened in Minneapolis this morning. Poor Vikes. Just imagine if it happend when the game was on....A vertical avalanche coming down on Fav-ra after getting sacked. Adding insult to insult.

Train of Thought

A Sequence of thoughts, each leading and spurring on the next. Ultimately the thoughts result in a question that may end the train or take it on another totally different track.

I'm amused by some of the ridiculous trains of thoughts I have on a daily basis. The mind can really reach it's potential for obscurness when doing a repetitive activity such as swimming, cycling, or running...it may or may not make sense.

Here is a random train of thought I had while riding today with Tyler.

"My low back hurts"

"This saddle blows"

"Your rides are numbered saddle, the replacement will soon make you hang up your rails"

"I'm gonna burn you, saddle"

"A Fizik Fire!"

"Gas"

"Propane"

"Nick got free propane the other day"

"Free fuel for cooking his meat"

"screw BC Hydro"

"mmm hungry"

"I wonder how much money you'd save per year from electricity/fuel if you ate a raw food diet?"

Retro is Cool

Have been watching a bunch of the old grand prix videos recently. This particular race is quite good. Format was run/bike/swim!

They started with a 2k run that had a lead group a 6 form including stewart, welch, macca, bevan. On to the bike, Macca gets a flat tire and 2 guys are dropped, including Brad Bevan.......but then the 4th element comes into play, well i won't ruin it. Enjoy!
