Team CSC - who I think have the sweetest jerseys (and naace Cervélo bikes too).
Here's a pic of me in action. Ok... actually, it's not me -- it's Robbie McEwan, who is probably my favourite "Tour" rider. He'll never win the Tour, but he's probably got the most heart. I loved his wheelie at the end of Alpe d'Huez last year: Epic.
I managed to get a good 17K time trial in at lunch time. What a WIND! Fotunately, the wind was on the out section (which is also slightly uphill), making the back section all the more faster.| Run 1 (3K) | 12:12 |

Last Monday, I bought a sweet new pair of running shoes. I was really happy with my current pair, Asics Gel 1090, but apparently, they're not made anymore, but the GT-2100 is an upgraded model. I tried them on (and a few other brands too), and they felt awesome. They weren't cheap, but I realize that paying $50 extra for a pair of superior shoes is a worthwhile investment - as opposed to ruining your knees later down the road.Labels: New Shoes

![]() | No, this is not me -- but my left shoulder, left butt cheek, left elbow, left knee and left shin look a lot like this! My right palm is torn to shreds and heavily bruised. A nice 8-inch diameter patch of hair was ripped from calf - so now you know why they shave their legs! |

I had a fantastic race. I won at Ribbit Shallows.
You should have seen me in the races - covered from head to flipper in mud I was and I looked like a chocolate frog.
Bye for now,
RONFROGEMY
PS. I won some gold!
