Saturday Duathlon


Woke up at 5:30 Saturday morning and headed out, teed off #1 at the K-Bay Klipper at 6:45 and farted out an 84 in 3 1/2 hours (still beat Adam, tho).... Quick transition to the two wheeled terror and rode 67 miles home via the north shore and Pineapple Hill, which also took 3 1/2 hours, if you include a water stop in Haleiwa.

Pineapple is a long hill, but it's longer when you hit it at mile 50. Even so I kept the mph right at 20 for the average on the whole day- had to do some downhill flying through mililani to get it back up, but made it.

To undo all the good healthy stuff I'd done all morning, I took a nap and ate way too much pizza.

The little girl


Saw a 5-inch red centipede trying to enter my house via the open garage door tonight, without thinking stomped on it, wearing flip flops. One end of the little freakazoid came up and wrapped right around my big toe. I leapt 9 feet in the air, wiggled my leg like it was on fire and made all sorts of movements with my arms that I really hope didn't get videotaped. It fell off. It didn't sting me- either because I'd squashed the stingy end or it was just laughing so hard at what an idiot I was. I made several shuddery sounds, flicked it into the bushes with my wife's shoe, and closed the garage. I really hate those things.
