During our errand running on Saturday, Mel and I made a pit stop into Tri-It to purchase a neoprene swim cap for himself truly. When my forehead and ears are exposed to extremely cold water I experience nausea. So I am not taking any chances with a glacier fed lake. Met up with Keith and Leaha on Sunday afternoon to test the water. The water was chilly when first getting into and required a few minutes to acclimatize. But after that things were great. The neoprene cap and ear plugs definitely helped in my case.
Keith and I did a couple of laps from the docks out to the bridge and back. Too many boats, sea-doos, and water skiers out and about to consider going any further out in the open water.
This week is relatively low-key heading into the race on Sunday. Mel is back this week so I am taking the bus/train to/from work. I had forgotten how long it takes to get to work with Calgary Transit.
A one way trip:
Bike = 45 - 50 minutes
Calgary Transit = 95 - 105 minutes (two buses & a train)
I would ride but I am really trying to conserve the ole legs for Sunday.
On the bus this morning was a collage of "heavily" scented men and women, W-T-F people, do you really need to bathe in this stuff? In addition to the cluster-f@ck of competing aromas were the individuals sharing their MP3 music with everyone else via their headphones. Nobody wants to hear your rap music blaring "Smack da hoes" or some whiny country crooner crying about his heart being broken again...the bar scene clearly isn't working for you so try something else. This all coming from people dressed in business attire...quite interesting.
LOL...as you can see, not a happy camper this AM on the bus. 4 more days of this and I can go back to riding my bike again!
I currently have a Starbucks Americano in my grubby little paws and already my mood is starting to lift.
Have a good one!

lol..in your grubby little hands you hold the nugget to happiness, however, my coffee this morning sent me prompty to the shitter where I thought my life was going to end, the bucks here is brewing cow shit these days, maybe it is deer shit, not sure but it is gross...kill your race on the weekend!!
oh how i don't miss riding calgary transit. it's unbelievable that it takes you that long and you LIVE in calgary. sheesh!
you know, i was going to suggest getting a coffee.... tee hee.
Starbucks is not a fit place to buy coffee. Their hot chocolate is barely acceptable.
Calgary Transit is like a plague. At best, when you live near the LRT and are taking the train downtown, it's barely acceptable, and frequently horrible. When I worked at Skystone, it was a 30 min drive, usually. The same trip by Transit would be about 2 to 2.5 hours.
I can just see you buying studded tires and winter cycling gear...
