This very instant, I am a 23 year-old person with an Engineering degree. During my free moments I enjoy reading good books, bicycling, pondering life and kicking it with my friends. My friend, Colin, started a web comic called Ninja Ken and had me do the basic design and all the coding. Recently I have been training for a triathlon (which is to be determined) and writing a little about it here.
Here I am, getting stronger and faster and able to endure farther distances. Most days I feel pretty fast on the bike (not so much running), usually passing the few souls I see and working and going. Then today, on a slight uphill these two guys zoom right past me. Not like “hey, I’m a little bit stronger and faster than you” but “whooshing by and leaving me eating dust” sort of zoom. They are the bikers that are allowed to wear full spandex.

Someone told me today that I was fast. This was, of course, while sprinting out of a van to chase a friend down the street. He would have been had if the door had not automatically locked.

An old friend of mine invited me to a webapp he and his company are building for runners/cyclists/triathlelitists (ha ha!). It’s the social networking w/ training aspect idea. Works pretty well so far, nice to keep track of my training and also be able to add events or see what’s coming up in the area. Similar to weEndure, but not sure how much because haven’t used weEndure. Invite only currently, until lots of minor details are hammered out.
Swam yesterday a good deal, feeling strong. Slow bike today with a friend; relaxing which is what I am supposed to do today.
