Triathleteosaurus

Last night I had a birthday dinner with a bunch of coworkers, and the conversation turned towards my triathlete habit. My coworkers wanted to know if you were allowed to do "defensive" moves to block your opponents. After explaining the rules of the road to my colleagues, we began a wine-fueled discussion on how I could psych out my fellow opponents. After explaining how you try to increase your surface area to slow down on big downhills (as opposed to braking), I came up with the ultimate triathlon helmet. I present to you, the triathleteosaurus.



This helmet serves two purposes: first, with the push of a button the wings splay out to slow you down, but it also emits a velociraptor like scream that will immediately cause your opponents to drop back in fear.

Speaking of cycling, I have to admit that I haven't had an actual road session in over three weeks. Instead, I've been having torrid affairs with my indoor trainer while watching the tour de France, and I've been enjoying my beach-side trainer workouts. A bunch of us schlep our trainers and bikes to a park right by the beach, and a great coach leads us through strength and cadence intervals. It's definitely good for the morale to suffer around others.


On the heel front, everything is back to normal. I got a nice long run in today, with no heel pain. Seems as if things are back on track! Have a good weekend everyone!
