Too Funny

This was too funny of a quote not to pass on. For those of you who know about Floyd Landis and his testosterone levels in the 06 Tour, you will find it funny (possibly infuriating). This was from Road Bike Riders weekly dispatch.

Overheard: "I mean, [the ratio] was 11 to 1. You'd think he'd be violating every virgin within 100 miles. How does he even get on his bicycle?" -- Dick Pound, WADA president, commenting in 2006 on Floyd Landis's elevated testosterone/epitestosterone ratio after stage 17 of the Tour of France.

Gonna be in MT next week

Hey everyone, I am going to be in Montana on the 23rd through the end of the month. In case you hadn't heard, now you know and if you want to get together, drop me an email.

Getting ready for the off-season

Well, work and life have been extremely busy and I think I can start up my training plan again!

I feel very out of shape and my run today really proved that. My heart rate was very high and it was very difficult to stay at a 10 minute mile. Ouch! I am confident I can get my running fitness back quickly, and my cycling should come back quick as well, but I need to work on it. I am anxious to get to Montana and take some runs out there!

The squirrel killer

One of the most unique squirrel incident's I have ever seen. Weaver and I were going for a drive in his new Jeep Compass and a suicidal squirrel ran in front of us and Weaver couldn't avoid it.

A little ways down the road, we pulled over in a parking lot to check for any damage, and we found this tail sticking out from underneath his car. We originally thought it was just the tail. Look at the picture below. We hoped it was just the tail, and by looking at it, there was no way it could be an entire squirrel.

After some further inspection, we found that indeed the entire squirrel was stuck in his car. From our analysis, the squirrel could have only gotten there one way, and that is by going in one of the holes in the bumper, where you see Weaver trying to free it from his vehicle with a stick. Evidently Weaver's vehicle has a squirrel vacuum attachment. I have never seen or heard of a squirrel getting lodged in a car before, but now, I have. So, I took pictures because it was so bizarre.
