Opus #3 [see also: Opus #2 [see also: Opus #1]]

I'm sorry everyone. Yesterday at lunch I was excited to be finally weighing in again. I celebrated by going to a mongolian grill and piling every morsel of food I could in that tiny, palm-sized bowl (that shit cooks down you know). Also, to ensure I made weight, I polished off all of the "fun size" twix in candy dish at the front desk (by the way, fun size twix should be 6'x12" and not some spec of chocolate with a "cookie" the size of an advil. fun = huge . What kind of polygamist cult sonofabitch thinks fun is small?)

188.4 (-2.4) I'm wasting away.

I tried to ride my bike fast at Opus but I started breathing hard and my legs hurt.

Average speed of commute this morning: 14.5

Pete, remember that 100 of those fun sized bars equals 1 full sized candy bar. I'd love to go to the Twix factory some time.

what's the matter with riding one's bike 14.5 mph?

It's a bit faster than I expected. I must be getting in shape.

(From the newest member of the PureJenius.net staff (who, by the way, is paid >well So I've been perusing the MCF board tonight and I still can't believe how many guys are whining about the races and race categories that promoters choose for races. I'm pretty good at whining too, so here goes: I'm a 35+ Cat 3 woman who will show up for the St. Cloud Crit and have to toe the line with Cat 1/2 guys - I don't give a shit that they're 50+, their license still says Cat 1 or 2 (and 3/4/5) and they race like Cat 1/2s. What's that you say, it's a ROY race, so we'll be scored separately? Okay cool, then I'll completely overlook the fact that the race will blow apart on about lap 1.5 and I'll spend the remainder of the race with 3 or 4 other women if I'm lucky or I'll assume the time trial position and ride around in circles by myself. Should be fun. Oh, I should shut my trap because if I think the 50+ guys are too fast and furious, I s...

Dammit. We played so well but still lost. Here's some highlights from week 2 of our football league. we actually scored. we had a playbook (we laughed when we saw the team we played last week had a playbook. They kicked our asses) Strats is our go-to female QB. She connected on all of her passes. Two of them stick out: one perfectly thrown interception to the other team (we wear yellow shirts, she threw it to a girl wearing a white shirt), and one hail-mary to the end zone. I didn't drop any of the passes that were to me. Nobody got hurt...yet. I can almost smell a torn ACL heading our way. I'm going to hang an old tire in the back yard so Strats can hone her QB skills a little more.
