So yesterday was a pretty casual day of training. 30 minute run during lunch with 10 minutes at 10km pace. Later during the evening I picked up my buddy Chris and we drove out to Ghost Lake for another dip. We swam on the "other" side of the lake. Other side being the portion of course after you pass under the bridge. There were a few other triathletes out testing the water.
Temperature-wise, the water was really nice. I wore my thermal cap again and within 5 minutes felt like I was over-cooking so there'll be no thermal cap being worn on Sunday morning. We swam up the shore line for a bit before turning around...about 21 minutes.
After the swim we were both on the shore taking our wetsuits off. There was an old couple above us on the hill sat in their lawn chairs having a drink/smoke. I could see skipper, in his 10-gallon cowboy hat, studying us as we were undressing. Within moments the heckling started...I couldn't really pick out everything he was saying...but this one liner definitely rang loud and clear to me...and everyone in the immediate vicinity:
"Don't be getting a hard-on there or anything"
What
The
Fuck
!
We all laughed and I believe Chris ended up saying something along the lines..."that won't be a problem having just come out of cold water"
Too funny.
Later that night Mel and I were moving the stove/fridge out to make room for the delivery of the new ones today. It was a comedy of errors as we were both trying to move the stove out the door and into the garage. We got it done but decided to hold off on the fridge...that thing is a beast.
Today is another light day...catching the train shortly downtown to pick up my race package and doing a short brick this evening.
Have a good one!

Hey, and no woodies on race day either!!
LOL about you and Mel hauling heavy appliances -- you should have seen Mike and I humping the washer and dryer down into our basement. Nothing brings couples closer than some creative lifting! :) :)
The proper answer would have been, even louder "I only swim in my wet suit, but clearly you have sex with yours, and that's probably because you can't persuade a woman to come into the house, let alone into bed!".
Just read Julies comment. For a moment there, I thought it was "Mike and I humping On the washer and dryer.." TMI!
Even though I'll have an hour head start on you, you'll probably pass me on the run. Warn me!
