Yesterday I planned for a nice swim/bike brick as the weather was going to be pleasant. My swim was short and sweet. I was consistent with my breathing and strokes. Once finished I hurried home, changed into my cycling clothes, applied "sweatproof" sunscreen and got on the road before it was too hot. When I left my apartment it was 85 with UV Rays at a level 8 (high) and winds around 14 mph. There was 12mph winds when I rode last with the group so I figured I could handle this. I was only out for a little less than an hour and by the time I was home it was 89 degrees with SSW winds at 25 mph! I was dying but, I figured it would only make me stronger on the bike.

Five snacks I do enjoy in the real world:

Great job pushing on the bike. Definitely will make you stronger.

Nice job pushing it through that wind. :-)

Definitely you will get stronger on the bike riding in wind, heat and other stuff.
Sounds like you had a good swim too! Glad your feeling better from the party.
Whoa.. nice ride in the heat and the wind.
I hop eyou enjoyed your day of rest! You certainly earned it.
I agree, I'll eat any form of chocolate. I can never refuse it.
Great job on the streaking! Good choices on the five non-weight-gaining snacks.
I kindred spirit! I too can't handle dirty dishes left in the sink. In fact, we rarely use the dishwasher for just that reason. I can't stand to have dirty ones waiting on a full load.
I think we have a lot of the same habits. The dirty dishes in the sink thing is a bit different in my case, though, I hate coming home to dirty dishes in teh sink. Why can't the rest of the family learn to rinse them off and put them in the dishwashwer and/or start it?!?!?
Holy moly you were on 42 days of streaking!! Great job, on the swim and bike it sounds like challenging conditions out there so way to push through. OK homie glad I am not close to you cause we would be enabling each other on the snacks. We are snack soul mates. LMAO!
Great ride...I've got to hit the hills...only make me stronger, right?
OK scary simularities...I play with my hair...can not have dirty dishes and will only sleep on the left (facing the bed) side.
AND I am going to the store to find Cinnamon Special K, sounds great!
Take Care
I just found your blog and will continue to check back - good day to find it too with you writing you "5 things" topic!
Hope you enjoyed that rest day and way to go pushing the bike. Sounds like we had the same winds!
That cinnamin pecean special K is yummy! I bought it accidently, thought I was buying the chocolate (which I love too) and found it very yummy.
Maybe I'll use that one sometime.
Mmmm those 5 snacks look yummy! :>D
