RACE WEEK!!

• Don’t worry, I’m still getting waxed in 2 days! I haven’t wussed out yet. Just after I posted the previous post about “taking the plunge,” my 17 year old sister-in-law called me. She’s going to be spending a few days with us shortly. She called and said “STEVE! When you get waxed, I NEED to come with you! CAN I?!?” She is SUPER excited to see me go through hell (and get proof of it for all of you). Check back Thursday night to see if I actually went though with it...

• Big Rhonda (the Dyke Bike) is all ready to go this weekend. I put some new rubber on her wheels for the first time in about 3,000 miles! Armadillo tires can put up with a lot of crap! I cleaned her all up to get ready for the big day:


Does this cassette look like it has 3,000 miles on it?


Again, 3,000 miles have never looked so good!
She's cleaned up and ready to roll!


Big Rhonda, the Dyke Bike, all ready to go!

I got in a nice ride on her last night, and all the new rubber seemed to hold up well! She was smooth and light! I got a little sweaty on my fast, hot ride:


Does this sweat make my boobs look big?

• I went for my last open-water swim this evening before this weekend’s triathlon. I headed to Lake Nokomis (where the LTF Triathlon is held), and went for a little swim. It went OK. Coulda been better, coulda been worse. I just need to remember to stay calm during the swim this weekend.

• An easy run tomorrow, an hour of horrible man-pain on Thursday, and I should be all ready to go for this weekend! If you plan on being at the event on Saturday, look for Pharmie and I in waves 22 and 23. My scheduled start time is 7:45 am, and Pharmie’s is 7:51 am. Wish us luck!!

  1. I think your boobs look bigger than mine, actually. Maybe I ought to try getting a top that color ;-)

    Good luck with the waxing and the race!

  2. Apparently, I going to have to do a search on your site and find the origin of your bike name!

    Good luck on the waxing.

    See ya at the race!

  3. your boobs look bigger than mine too :-(

    Your bike looks like the man version of mine. I have a specialized dolce elite. not a tt bike, but I love it and i smoke the bike courses. maybe my lack of boobs helps make me more aerodynamic...?

  4. Nice ride, there....

    I'll be racing as an Athena and in the water about 7:12 am.

    I expect that you and Pharmie will both lap me during that .9 swim.

    Pitiful....

  5. Good luck on Saturday! I will see you there hopefully... I will be one of those in an Officials shirt :)

  6. I think it's against a man-law to question whether ones own boobs look big/small/anything in a given piece of clothing.

  7. Hey Steve, thanks for stopping by.

    You are a crackup. Good luck with the tri this weekend and my prayers to you during the waxing. ;-) How will you gauge the effect of the procedure on the race outcome, I wonder?

  8. Yes, your moobs do look big, but mine are still bigger so all remains right with the world. :)

    Good luck this weekend but most especially for Thursday. You're definitely going to need it.

  9. You know if you wax, might as well wax everything.. It will break down the air resistance down there..

    Good luck at Lifetime..

  10. The bike looks beautiful, maybe the most attractive dyke I've ever seen.
    Good luck on Saturday.

  11. Damn Steve! You have some hardcore apparently small breasted women readers that have some deep seeded jealousy issues with your breasts and that blue top.

    Post a picture of you wearing that blue top with a bowl full of sunshine, wet and unpixelated, and nobody will comment one word on your breasts.

    Oh, I love how clean your chain and cassette are.

    ;)

  14. Nice moobs...

  15. I can't be at your event, DUH, so I'll wish you luck digitally. Never fear...I'll be back to read about the whack job. Oh, I meant wax job!

  16. Good Luck Saturday, and will your Sister-In-Law be taking video?

    ReplyDelete
  17. OMG, that chain and cassette look like you havent ridden in...ok i wont go there. I am just hoping in can come over and you can clean my chain. (oops, Pharmie, that didnt come out right!!!)
    Good luck this weekend, and i want talk to you sometime about the half you are doing in Michigan. I am contemplating doing more Tris next year.
    So meet you in the hallway outside the biffy at the Y :)

  18. Nice cassette! How long did it take you to clean it. Looks brand new!

    And I say if your gonna get waxed, might as well go the whole way. THe first time is painful, but after that the body gets used to it!

    HTFU!

    (You may not want to have S-I-L video that...or maybe you do!!)

  19. Not sure if I should laugh or be turned on by this post.

    I'm looking forward to video of the great waxing of 08.

  20. Bike looks great! I am very interested in hearing how the waxing goes. I can't even imagine.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Nokomis!? That's the name of our local museum as well. Who woulda thought I'd ever see that name somewhere else?

    Enjoy your Manzillian.

  22. It's not really man pain, unless, you know, you're getting waxes down there.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Damn..you got some serious boob envy going on here!

    No sweat.. I am only in bike envy.. she's in pretty great shape for 3000 miles.

  27. Dare I ask - dyke bike? (Oh wait, this is the blog with the bowl of sunshine and soon to be waxed man boobs - I should definitely NOT ask.) Um, good luck...with...everything.

  34. Best of luck this weekend! and yes, the sweat does make the boobs look bigger. I will have to give that a try, myself, as I need help in that area. :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'll be volunteering at water stop #1 - hope to see you there!

    Good luck with the waxing! :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow,

    Will your Moobs look as spanking clean as that cassette???

    Can't wait for the blow by blow... or is that the rip by rip.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow. You even have boob sweat. Sweet! Good luck at LTF this weekend!

  38. Good Luck to you and Pharmie!!!

  39. You may want to consider a Man Bra if you get any larger. I am totally jealous :)

    Good luck tonight. Maybe a strong drink before you start getting your hair ripped out would help ease any pain.

    Sweet BIKE!!!
