		<description>That is so negative Sarah! I don't tell people how much they suck in swim lessons. I'm very positive. Christine had fun, and I wouldn't have done that to just anyone.</description>

		<description>So Ben...I take it back. I don't want swim lessons from you because you'll just tell me how much I suck. I don't want to ride with you because you'll just try to kill me. Lord knows what you'd probably do on a run.

How about a game of badminton? ;)

I need to try this nutrition stuff. Soon.

Welcome back to the Bay.</description>

		<description>Hey Collins,

Funny, Romanowski's been at the outrigger the past few days working on his stand-up paddling skills. Bay area riding - I'm jealous! I was in Berkeley for 8 years and never rode a bike. All those great hills, wasted on me :) Just wanted to say hello.. I'm meeting your coach tomorrow for a bike fit.. finally.

		<description>Ooh! he wins a time trial and starts getting cocky! :)

It's Ok, today I was really sore from doing my first track workout in a while and from PT and from 2.5 hours of Yoga (10 days unlimited for $10 - I have to get in as much has possible) and from learning how to water run correctly (so much harder)... So then I saw Christine ahead of me getting onto the trail at Blackies pasture - we were both starting out brick runs - but I was going so slow that there was no way I could have caught up to her. Luckily she looked behind her and saw me, then slowed down enough to chat for about 5 minutes before I headed back to do some strides and cool down.

Tonight I'm downing a pack of Sleep1 (thanks courtenay) and passing out for as long as possible. After the swim trials of course.</description>

		<description>I feel sorry for Christine.  You can be mean, Ben.   Maybe I'll do this to you sometime when you're not feeling very good.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the killing me and the compliment, sort of. Next time I hear "easy spin" I will remember my inhaler. But take in to account I have been riding for less than a year.</description>
