Ironman, Stretching, & XXX (yes porno)

What do those three things have to do with one another?  Well, the answer is simple if you put some groggy, probably tired, and sore triathletes in a room with one another with nothing else to do.  Whoa! Check that dirty thought right there. You need to hear the rest of the story.

So its Friday 6am and a few of us are waiting for the CL to show up and torture us with the damn rolling grids.  She says they help.  What???  I have not figured that out.  Perhaps its that insatiable desire to see grown men and women scream in agony or maybe it will ultimately relax our muscles and allow them to train/perform better.  I am not sure, but I digress.

So we are waiting and Lynn turns to me and says when you are stretching you sound like you are starring in a porn movie. She was dead serious.  Now several things went through my mind. 1. How does Lynn know what a porn movie is like?  She is older than I but not what I would expect from her. Hmmm!  2. Do I really make that much noise?  I know I am a first class whiner, but really. 3.  Is this a topic/road that we can really go down being that we are sitting in the main exercise room of the YMCA?  Naturally, I opt for number #3 and I vehemently deny I make that much noise and I am sure that the sounds are nothing like a porn movie.  CL shows up during this and we all have a good laugh and the hell, er I mean stretching begins.

And it gets better, Saturday, 1/7, we are going for a 40 mile zone 2 bike ride.  So we are all riding together slow keeping our heart rates down, we stop half way through and the CL informs that Steph has dubbed me triple XXX for a nickname.  OMG!  This is going to be around a long time.  This is going to be a long season.

Well, that is how you put those 3 things together.

Good Training.
XXX
