Notice the Heat Index column - 118 Degrees! Yep, it is smoking here right now. The good news is that at least the humidity was only 48%.

- Read Matty O's Race Report of his and Heather's first Half Ironman. Congrats to you both!
- Back to Ray at DCRainmaker again. He did an extremely thorough review of the new Timex GPS
watch. If you are deciding on whether to purchase a Garmin
- Patrick and Kovas put together a collaborative blogging effort with this piece: What's in your closet?
- I received an email notifying me of an article titled, “50 Informative & Inspiring Blogs for Triathletes” --- Dangle the Carrot was included on the list, which is cool.
- James @ Ironman 101 wrote an excellent post on Heat Acclimation and Blood Volume - very good read!
- And under the heading of, "People are Crazy!" -- Read this article about a woman who discovered her husband's other marriage on Facebook.
Randomness:
- I am a little under the weather. Yesterday I missed my first day of training in this being the 7th week of the HIM plan. I got some extra sleep this morning and am feeling much better and plan on hitting it hard again after work today.
- I have been even more upset/disgusted than usual at our Federal Government the last few days. It seems: States no longer have rights, elections don't matter, judges make decisions on personal beliefs and not the law, the public is now considered to stupid to make decisions on their own healthcare, retirement, home ownership, marriage, and the entire mainstream media seems to bury all this ....hell - they evenwant to tell us what to eat. Liberty has been replaced with entitlement. November cannot come soon enough.
- That last paragraph just got me fired up again and I realize it is all incoherent jibberish but I feel better.
- Tosh.0 is an absolutely hysterical program on Comedy Central. If you have not seen Tosh.0 yet do yourself a huge favor and set your DVR to record all episodes. You'll thank me later!
- Thinking about a new TT bike. Just Thinking so far!
Thanks for Reading,
