oh but of course

okay. today has been the goofiest day EVER. and i've little time for blogging at the moment... i just wanted to let you all know, that....

there were no runners at the meeting last night.

everyone that showed was there for the "most beautiful bike ride around some huge lake in utah" ...er...something...100 mile bike ride.

there was no a.maria running all-star uberest of the uber marathoning glory stories to be told..... none...... NONE!

it pretty much was like "yeahhhhh... so.... um. i ran a marathon and.... yeah....."

i got nuthin for the bikers. i did, however, manage to spew forth as verbal diarrhea my training experiences in all of like 3 minutes... (i should not go into public speaking, by the way..)

i had the TNT'ers in the back cracking up... but the bikers in the front, who we were actually trying to recruit...

yeah. they weren't so amused.

ah well. must be a runner thing.

Um, that would be "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride". Lake Tahoe!!! I've done it as a cycling coach for TNT. It is absolutely gorgeous. Some of the pics on my flickr are from that ride. We wore Starbucks cups on our helmets to signify we were from Seattle. The cycling teams do that... decorate their helmets so they can find each other. It's all good except for the idiots from Napa who thought it'd be cool to have cork screws on top of their helmets...duh!

I don't get cycling. I say this with all seriousness, but it hurts my crotch. I know cyclists don't get runners either, but still. I don't get cycling.
