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. That is so negative Sarah!

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. So Ben…I take it back.

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. Rachel Hey Collins,

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. Ooh! he wins a time trial and starts getting cocky! :)

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

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. Thanks for the killing me and the compliment, sort of.
