This has been a difficult day.
Got off to a great start with an early and furious 8.5 mile BIG LAP DUECE (1:11) and then the HoM re-set. Re-re-set actually. There was some compromise, negotiation and diplomatic intervention involved. But we got it and the important thing is that we are now (almost) ready to rock ' roll in in the House of Mirth CompuTrainer Multi-Rider Center.
After than I washed three cars: Bluey, The Exploder and RG's KIA. Then we set up the finish PO brick facade and readied that phase (see photo).
The afternoon bike ride was cancelled, because, well, there is just no end to the work load, and things need to get done, scholastically, politically, progressively, ecologically and technologically. Leaving no time this afternoon for physicality.
But that wasn't the difficult part.
The difficult part was trying to keep tabs on my friends (via Athlete Tracker) racing long today in Penticton and Louisville. Double Ironman day and the internet again had its bandwidth tested. Congrats to Pros Jordan Rapp and Mary Beth Ellis for their wins in Canada and to Chris McDonald and Nina Craft in Kentucky. Final results off the geezers in my AG are still coming in, and might be a while. And this is the root of the dilemma. The difficult part.
It is now or never if I want to pay the $700 to race next year in Canada for the 30th anniversary of that grand event. On-line registration opens at noon tomorrow, and that will be that. It will sell all 3,000 slots by this time tomorrow.
Now or never. I have a decision to make.
Making the day a difficult one. And I like that.
Pix: New view from the instructors saddle in the all new and improved HoM. RG examines the PO, always ready with two cents.

If you decide to do it, I'll pay the $2.00 :)! Didn't you say it was $702? That's a hefty pricetag, but might be the best decision you've ever made! Maybe take a leap of faith?!!
I ran around the park after you left, making the run an even 10 miles. Thanks again. You are a Rockstar!!
HA, that's inflation for ya, used to be two cents...now it's two bucks! Thank you. Still on the fence. Twelve hours since the swim start and some of my friends are still out there sluggin' it out. Enjoy the evening.
