My daughter posted this on her bedroom door today. If you would like to sign it, add a comment below and I will write your name in for you; I’m sure she’d appreciate the support.
I typed out the text since it’s a little hard to read:
“Hey! I’m here to talk to you about women’s rights. To some people when we stand up for ourselves we get called “bossy” or “obnoxious!!” That’s not true, we are all strong, independent girls/women. Here’s another horrible thing that people do to girls. Toy stores usually separate toys into boys and girls sections. Girls have dolls - and babies. Boys have usually things to build and lots of cars. The girl section is seas of pink. Honestly not all girls like pink and dolls, I don’t... but if you do that’s fine! You must have heard these things: don’t be such a girl, you throw like a girl, you play like a girl, etc. Also women around the world are getting paid less than men. WHY!? Those are all things of how girls are getting treated unfairly. Sign here if you want to stand up for women’s rights.”

Lots of frozen water, falling from the sky Mother

Lots of frozen water, falling from the sky
Mother says it’s folly, “Adventure, though!” say I

Snowplow is our draught horse, til it turns away
The Hardwick roads are left uncleared; they’re not up for it today
The inn at last we reach, warm and full of Internet
Tomorrow? We shall see, and ski. Nothing rhymes with Internet.

Oh right. Swimming.
New owners coming in this year. I hope their airs about renovating this sump hole prove to be founded.
Still, it’s nice to have an entire pool to yourself in the first week of the new year. I guess the resolution warriors forgot to change their calendar pages.

It was thin, slow and rough going but today I did a real ski right out my door. Just like I planned. 7 years ago. #life
Nice to run into @davekelley7 @barbschwendtner and @trekbike2300 out on their fat bikes too!

“Swim to your potential. Bike smart. Run like he

“Swim to your potential. Bike smart. Run like hell.” My coach’s parting advice before #im703iwlq was as succinct a game plan as one could hope for, and was equally as effective. I hyperventilated in the 58-degree water for 200 yards before finding my rhythm and crawling over people for the next mile, my goggles half full of water the whole way, ripping through the waves of indiscriminate color knowing it was 40 minutes or less of my entire life and there was no reason to give so short a period of suffering dominion over my will. I would swim the lake; the lake would not swim me.
On a bike course where I could have been pushing 25 mph most of the way, I dialed back the power and watched out for hazards, trying not to draft, enjoying myself immensely on the private speedway racetrack section and thinking about the run, always the run. The game was now about focus. Control the watts. Efficiency in execution. Fuel, hydrate, do not crash. Don’t get eager. 56 miles of patience.
Once the bike was racked, I let myself run that pace that I spent almost every day in training avoiding as I favored endurance over intensity. It held for a mile, then two, then six, and then I knew I had something going. The back half was a mental war, complete mind over body to maintain the speed I now knew I could muster so long as my focus willed it. I wanted to make it all worth it, and so I wouldn’t slow down no matter how much it hurt. I ate everything I could get my hands on, poured every liquid into me and pushed through, faltering only slightly in the last two miles, as the gradient rose for the final climb and my body reached the limit of how far my mind could force it onward. I slowed, but I did not stop.
4 personal bests: swim, bike, run and overall. And the first time running sub-2 hrs on a half-marathon, ever. I came to see if I could run my best race. And that’s pretty much what I did.

Opted for a family hike and some beach time instead of my last taper run before #imiwlq703. Vacationing with family during race week is a challenge. An upside is that you get to have your family with you at the race. And that is worth the weight of all challenges.

Made it to California in one piece. 2k in the pool this morning and got the bike together with no apparent issues. So far so good.

Decided to get my #raceface on a week early considering we have company coming for Thanksgiving. Making it to #taper intact was a challenge this time, but we survived. Won’t need the extra fur in #socal that’s for sure. This should drop a few pounds. I should have weighed in beforehand.

On the one hand, this is a joke, a humorous way to bring closure to a serious phase of my life. On the other hand, it’s a statement. Sometimes, cyclists are the hunted. We, the vulnerable, must be always vigilant, while drivers, the ones with lives in their hands, often are not. It’s a situation that is perpetually backwards. So I put this on my own wall, not the driver’s, in order to own my experience and as a reminder. Stay safe. Stay vigilant. And always look out for cars. Because as backwards as that is, they won’t always look out for you. (Thanks for the assistance @maasjim)

RIP @wahoofitnessofficial #tickr
Apparently its weakness is corrosion from sweat...? It’s a comfortable HRM strap but the @garmin design clearly wins for longevity. #youhadonejob
