Anonymous Racer X: On Double Jeopardy and a Brick Dilemma

Hey guy from the running trail yesterday: Wearing baggy shorts over your running pants while also jogging in slow motion to match the pace of your walking girlfriend: That's double jeopardy, dude. For looking utterly ridiculous, you have been Deactivated. Next time listen to your girlfriend when she urges you to "go ahead and do your own pace." She's not being nice — she's terrified of being seen within 50 yards of you.

Tomorrow's reverse brick on my Ironman Akron Brownfield Superfund Site training plan calls for a 80-minute run followed by a 60-minute ride. Problem: That's too long of a run to do on a treadmill and I need to make a quick transition to the bike — but there's four inches of snow on the ground. Solution: I will set up my trainer on top of the Rover in the trailhead's parking lot and ride up on the roof. I need to remember to bring some chapstick, duct tape, and a step ladder.

Later,
