1. Wednesday I was in Palos Verdes and I biked past a guy down on his hands and knees in his perfectly green manicured lawn. He had a pair of scissors and was pulling out errant strands from his perfect lawn one at a time. Obviously, he had to compete against the more perfect lawn across the street, denoted by the sign in front of it saying it won the neighborhood’s lawnscaping award. My second thought was: Don’t you know there’s a drought. But my first thought was: Man, I wish I had that kind of time.
2. You know when you time your sprint finish just perfectly, but then it turns out that the finish line is just around the corner and you end up like sort of limping across the line because you used everything up. That’s how I feel about life right now. I finished my thesis (yay!), but it turns out I still have six more weeks of grad school left after that (ah!).
3. Remember when I said I wasn’t going to apply for the Women for Tri board thing and you can too. Look, I know people think I’m a “shit-stirrer,” as was explained to me the other day. But Hillary Biscay isn’t. And if she’s saying that she’s resigning from the Women for Tri board because it is not the place to affect true change for women, then you should listen to her.
4. I wrote about the new L.A. professional frisbee team and the competing professional frisbee leagues. Yes, there are two professional frisbee leagues.
5. I know a lot about obstacle course racing right now. I think I might become a professional(ish) obstacle course racer. Watch out.

I will boycott the Women for Tri Board in solidarity.
I’m loving the mental image of #1 🙂 And I can relate all too well to #2… totally been there. Good luck with the last six weeks of grad school!!
Really interesting about HIllary Biscay – I was wondering about where she stood since Smashfestqueen just came out with a t-shirt in full support of the 50 Women to Kona movement (is it a movement?). Which seems like it wouldn’t jive too well with IM.
I think it’s a movement. I bought the tank top 😉
