An Ode to the Drafter (To the Tune of Real men of Genius)

Today I salute you, Mister Weston cyclist who took advantage of my back wheel today. No, I didn't feel that headwind, and neither did you, because you were tucked in my draft so quietly only your shadow gave you away. That, and the fact that when you hopped on my wheel without asking, I actually felt heavier. I hope you enjoyed the view of my swimmer butt, rider thighs, and runner calves working the crank in my spandex, because if your riding etiquette is in any way a reflection of your manhood, you come up a little short. And we always notice.
But ride on, sir, and I hope your legs felt fresh at the top of that beast. Don't mind me, I'm going to take a little break. After all, I did just pull up two people. But I don't mind. Because in the next draft-illegal race when I pass you and your sleek QuintanaRoo bike that costs more than my future car, you'll think of the time you jumped on the back wheel of a girl.

Wuss.

Stop Shoulding all over yourself

Yesterday I went on Cor Jesu's Vivare "young alumni" retreat. My friend from high school Katie posted it on my wall a few weeks ago and tagged a couple other CJ sisters to the post and it struck my interest. I haven't done a single thing with CJ since I graduated and somewhere between moving to Boston and joining the triathlon team my Catholic past was put on the backburner. I figured I had nothing to lose except a Saturday and at the very least I'd get to hang out with my friends so I signed up and sent in my $25 without much thought.  I've never been the most devout Catholic. Most times in church I'm scanning the crowd for familiar faces, zoning out, and making Target lists- and that's if I go at all. Sunday is usually run-day...or ski day. Or sleep in day. Or study day. Or vacuum day. Whatever day it is...it's rarely church day. Despite being raised by two Catholic parents, going to a Catholic grade school and a Catholic high school, going o...

Weekend

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...

Plan 2

So Chris isn't entering active duty until 2013. Therefore, in order to get a job, he now needs a resume.  This is a little something Chris, the team and I have been working on. With all these skills, Chris and I are going to be millionaires by 30. A Brewmaster's Resume
