TAPER!!!!!!

Let the TAPER begin!! Two more weeks until the big race... Ah yeah!! Time to let the body heal and get rid of this clicking noise I hear when I walk up stairs... pretty gross.. So far, I've rested two days in a row and my legs feel a lot better... reduced hours but still the same intensity.. Oh yeah.. forgot to mention.. the new speed record on the COW is now 26mph (see below)! Oh man that feels rad!

I'm taking you guys back a few days so bear with me.. Wednesday, I went for a 30min bike then 2hr run.. 13 minutes into the bike, I hear the cling of metal and my tire losing air.. Dammit!! Whatever, good chance to practice changing my tire and using the CO2 pump. OH SHIT!! there's a slah all the way across the middle of the tire!! I tried the dollar trick and hoped it would be able to hold until I got home.. I was 4 miles away.. pumped it up and pop! DOH!! tube went right through the slash.. great!! oh yeah, CO2 pump is rad!!! The one time I don't bring my cell phone!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! So, I put the tire back on, took off my shoes and walked my goofy looking ass to the nearest shopping center, a half mile away... I phoned my aunt from a sandwich shop.. Thanks for letting me use the phone!! and got home.. Ahh well.. Swam and biked Thursday and made it up for the blown workout on Friday... I was running pretty fast for me. Averaging a 9min mile after 6 miles.. then I got a crap and walked.. then I sat down and it went away.. finished the run with 11 miles in 1hr 45 min.. Hung out with the gf after.. she surprised me and came home early from her trip.. woo hoo!!! we just chilled.. good times and I dont know why...

Saturday, I biked for 3hrs but skipped the run.. my legs were way too tired to hit the run.. ahh well.. two long days back to back has got to make up for something right? And if you remember, this was gf's party.. the one where I wasn't going cause she had to handle her shit.. Um yeah.. that didn't last too long.. It was either she wanted me there or the booze.. or both.. but she ended up calling me at 9pm.. i got there when the ex got there.. I didn't even know it!!! I took a seat next to a friend and saw the gf with her arm around some dude... jealousy kicked in big time.. must have been the look on my face because my buddy told me the ex was the guy talking to them (He looked gay, btw) and the guy she had her arm around was gay.. HAHAHHAAHH!! FWEEEH!!! Few minutes later, she walked him out and I never saw him again.... I must have had 6 or 7 shots within an hour and it was nighty night... I was trying to sing karaoke in tagalog but ended up falling asleep on the couch. damn the training sesh! woke up at 6am, put the gf in her bed and went home to sleep most of the day off.. i tried to surf, but the body wasn't havin it..

Monday-Thursday was taper week.. I missed a 40 min run so I made it up with the next day's training... which happened to be an hour bike ride... oops! Taper.. what taper? Also, I have the raddest story ever!! I was biking on Wednesday and on my way back, another cyclist came up behind me.. whatever... I was cruising at 23mph.. I could still hear him behind me clicking his pedals.. then I thought I'd try to drop him so I upped it to 25mph.. click click click!!! WTF!! the guy even passes me!!! I catch up to him and were at a light.. we both start off slow, then pick it up.. Then I pass him at 26mph and can still hear him.. FUCK THIS GUY!!! NO DRAFTING!! I shift and crank it for the next mile and half.. 28.6mph!!!!!! (I started this entry on Monday and finishing it on Friday!!!) I looked back and he was about a half mile away! AHH YEAH!! Don't mess with the fat guy!!! I'm thinking 30mph is my goal.. maybe during the winter? I'm still on that high!!!

HIM update.. I still haven't reserved a hotel.. uh oh!!! This weekend is SD with the gf and some other friends.. I thought about surfing but I don't want to get hurt so I'll pass... Ordered another surfboard.. the CIFLYER 6'2.. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that a FUCK YOU goes out to the chick at the Redond0 beach warf.. I don't care if I have to pay full price for a refill.. I wanted to waste another cup... and don't look at me like I'm stupid, dumbshit!

On that note.. LATER!!! Get some waves for me!!!

WRE!!!

Updates in order:
surf
triathlon
gf

Surf: Haven't really surfed much the past few weeks. I did call in sick last Friday and paddled out... I wanted to hit up the 'Bu and took the wrong road down.. DAMMIT!! Traffic!! Then, I made a left on a street at 8am.. NO LEFT 6a-9a.. OH SHIT!! Got a ticket.. don't know how much it'll be but there goes a few hundred bucks.. FUCK! Then, when I got to the 'Bu, FLAT!! FUCK again!!! I was going to turn around and hit my favorite spot.. when I got there, FLAT again!! FUCK three times!!! I still suited up and had a great leashless session. I lost my board a few times. One time, I lost it and it almost hit one of the locals cause we were on the same wave and heading toward each other.. he was ok.. probably shit his wettie though.. surf this weekend for sure.. surfsister? sharkbait?

Triathlon: Holy crap the past few weeks have been brutal! My knee keeps clicking, my body is sore and I have hours to make up.. This week, I have two long workouts.. the first, I tried to do yesterday. A 30 min bike followed by a 2hr run.. for some reason I was excited to go through it... I hit the turn around for the bike and POP!! dammit!! flat tire!! there was a gash across the middle that I could stick my finger in... this was really bad and thought if I could fix it and get home, I could still run.. I changed the tube and POP!! FUCK!! blew out right through the gash.. I even did the dollar trick.. dammit!! made the .5 mile walk in my socks cause I didn't want to mess up my shoes.. got home at 7:30.. too late to run.. so today, Friday, is makeup day and I'm $50 lighter.. then tomorrow, surf with surfsister, hopefully, and then a 3hr ride topped off with a 20min run.. GOOD TIMES!!!

GF: Dude this is the Weirdest Relationship Ever!! First, she gives me a hard time all the time with everything.. Her favorite words to me are: No, not, nope, whatever, maybe, thinking thinking thinking and blah blah blah.. I got over it and figured she says that stuff just to mess with me.. guess you really have to check the text messages to understand.. Second.. our friend that introduced us is really nosey.. he talks to both of us and tries to get the deep stuff (apparently, the gf tells him and his wife a lot of secrets).. so the gf and I agreed to just give him surface stuff... surface stuff doesn't include telling them that we're bf&gf.. whatever... I understand.. Third.. this is where it gets really weird.. on Tuesday, she sees her ex at a gathering and asks him if he's coming to her bday party on Saturday.. she thought he would say no but was wrong.. so now she'll have her ex and current bf there... what does she ask me to do? Not go!! WTF!! this is where I lost it.. silent treatment!!! She ended up coming over and we talked things over.. FUCKING WEIRD I TELL YOU!! I agreed to it? Dammit!! Fourth!!! I asked if I could take her out on her Birthday, Wednesday. Cool.. things are set.. On Tuesday, her bro asks her to have dinner for her bday on Wednesday also... she says she has plans and says declines.. her bro gives her a lot of shit about it.. then I get a call.. NO DINNER!! WTF!! why am I getting punished? she says she's gonna pack for her business trip and do nothing.. and tells me dysfunctional family.
Why am I still with her? I can see it in her eyes that she deals with things differently.. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.. and next week better be fucking rad!

Later!!! TAPER TIME!!!

Number One Knuckle Head

Haven't really done much but train and date the girly... but it has proven to be a lethal combination... last week, I saw her 5 of 7 days.. during the week, it was after about 1.5-2 hr sessions and then hang with her till way past the beancounter's bed time... and damn I never thought I could text as much as I do. I'll have to go in and change my plan.. or make a call.. don't know if the phone guys will wanna talk to a chubby dude sweating like it's raining...

And damn I'm stupid!!! I counted wrong with my HIM training!! I'm one week off!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!! Damn, I was really looking forward to this week of rest.. ahh well!! no rest for the dumb.. right? Two more weeks of senor serious and then its taper time!!! Oh yeah.. probably should book my hotel too..

Train, surf and girly.. not in that particular order.. oh yeah.. and no more messing around and calling her "some chick" EVIL EYES!!! EVIL!!!!

Bubble Guts

So yesterday, I had some J@mba juice after lunch.. BAD IDEA! I had to run for 90 minutes!!! I made it to 3.5 miles and couldn't stand it anymore so I started walking.. walked for about 5 mins and started up again.. stopped at mile 5 and walked again for 10 min.. ran the last 2 miles and finished up with 7.5 miles in 80.. not bad considering I was walking a lot... but damn, it's really hard to HTFU when you have the bubble guts.. I had to fart but was afraid I would shart so I held it in.

Just thought I'd let you guys know... AND DAMMIT!! best bud's sister spelled my name with a Y!!!! GRRRRR!!! (this would all make sense if I told you guys my real name).

FINALLY!!

Last Friday was date night with the chick... code named esrun... good times and ended up at a famous deli... got the super reuben... super good... I think everyone thought I was crazy for taking a quarter of it home.. but damn.. MMMMMMMMMMMM!!! got to meet a couple of her friends and bro... they're fun and funny..

Saturday, hit up the favorite spot with scarecrow.. aka the pirate.. with her new 9'0 and me with the buffet board... she already has a ding near the tail!! AHAHAHHA!! she was having a little trouble catching the waves and after I told her to adjust her position (move back) she caught a few... too bad they were at the end of the session... I was a wave magnet again... two waves of note... first was the guy policing the line up... he was telling some dude the rules of surf.. at a high volume.. whatever... 15min later, I caught a wave and he pulled off when I came flying down the line.. what does this guy say when I start paddling out again.. "nice wave, but too bad it was all white wash.." WTF!! I was on the wave and didn't see white water until the wave closed out... damn, some guys just think they're the shit... Wave dos was rad... I've been watching a guy nose ride the whole sesh.. and noticed that he did a little shuffle before he cross-stepped.. HMMM!!! I tried it and did my first official nose ride!!! It was fucking rad!! Too bad the buffet board needs some fixin so it's on the shelf waiting to be taken to the infirmary...

Sunday was tri day... swam 30 min (that was hell cause I was sore from the 2.5hr sesh) 2 hr bike (17.6mph) and a 30 min run... so cool!!! I took the bike a little easy but the run was rad! I was cruising at a 9:30 min mile and blasted the last mile at 8:40.. Self high five!! Oh yeah.. I waved at another cyclist on the other side of the road while I was riding and he yelled at me.. he yelled, "Hey!" Maybe he knows me? Doubt it...

Training has been going great!! I did 1500meters in 27 mins.. shaved off 3 minutes!! and then my time trial bike course... did it in 47 min.. shaved off a minute!!! HEE HEE!! FAT AND FAST(er than your normal fat guy)!!

And WTF people that swim at the pool! Dude, you can fit 2 people in a lane!! no need to wait for people to finish using the lane by themselves.. just jump in and swim.. and don't try to ask me if we can split the lane while I'm touching the wall and headed out for another lap... water clogs my ears.. I'm just sayin!!

This weekend is run bike run on Saturday and 5k race with some friends... surf? maybe not... looks like its time for another sick day!!
