About 3/4 gallon water, hawthorn berries to keep my ticker in shape.

Activities:
Bike (Puddles) to East Boulder Rec Center for BAM workout: 1:24:58, 14.3 mph, 20.3 miles, 148 bpm
BAM 1 hour swim workout, Amy, somewhere around 2000 yards
Bike home: 1:30:50, 12.1 mph, 18.32 miles, 153 bpm

Thoughts:
Came of the bike grinning like a little kid. It's been a while. Of course I am slow and sluggish but that's OK. Stopped at bike shop to weigh Puddles: 25 3/4 lbs.

Yes, I named my bikes.
Puddles is my workhorse. The clydesdale. 25 3/4 lbs aluminum Specialized Allez, 9 speed Shimano (52-42-33, 12-25 in the back), worn out bearings, puncture resistant tires (about a pound each). However, I did IM Brazil on her in 2006 and we did just fine.

Peddles is the red hot, exotic, sexy dark mistress. Rare breed, begging for speed, the Ferrari. 16 lbs carbon Kestrel Airfoil, 10 speed Campy (53-39 front, 11-23 titanium in the back, HED aero, Nimble 3 spoke carbon tubulars. My weapon of choice in New Zealand and France. This is Peddles version #2 since the old Peddles (version #1) got a frame crack right before France.

The thing is, now I have to earn the right to get back on the race bike so I am riding Puddles. There were a few times I thought of going for the 33 tooth ring but managed to stay in 42.

Puddles doesn't get me to Boulder in under an hour as Peddles would. Which is annoying but I get a better workout on heavy bike and I don't have to worry about someone stealing her or parts off of her. That was just so ruthless, she's is an awesome bike.

Need to get back to a gallon per day watering schedule.

Naked weight at EB Rec Center after workout: 203.5 lbs

Imminent goals:
1) Don't get hurt
2) Drop weight
