Mmm.... New Zealand...

And he's an Olympian!

Just watch, it's going to be either 81 or -1 next week.

This MIGHT be what they refer to as "overtraining". Or "wussiness". You decide.

For those not in the know, Rich Branch was my freshman coach in college.
Oh yeah, Happy Valentine's day, if you celebrate that sort of thing..

Oh, well...

Mind you, I LIKE biathlon, and the Winter Olympics in general. I just honestly can't remember ever being less aware that the Olympics were about to start.

Either that, or Bruce's presence draws lightweights like an electric bulb draws bugs.

And if you don't get the reference... You should watch more TV.

You could probably make a pretty good case that they are not getting an early start, but they simply never stopped.

In a blind taste test, two out of three ergers said that they preferred the taste of duct tape to that of electrical tape.

Besides, Bruce would have a reason to buy another car, since we'd need a support vehicle.

This is obviously not meant to make light of any actual reasons for filing such a complaint.

Except for Pete's response, of course. That was entertaining!

Who me, lazy???

Of course I COULD have just started earlier....

Maybe this was brought on by Mr. Armstrong's retirement...

But as long as it's not too cold to row...

Yeah... Much work remains to be done.

The band is getting back together!

Yeah...Good times.

If you don't believe me, I have proof.
Oddly enough, yesterday's comic was number 555.

Luckily, the middle bay door was open... Sorry, John...

It's been a while since I've had an email comic, ok???

Time to update that list again...

This wonderful piece of literature was acquired at the Boston Public Library Book Sale for one dollar.

Yeeeeeeeehawwwwwww!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

For averaging around my 6k pace for 42,195 meters, this was surprisingly fun.

Oh, well. Some other day, perhaps.

Ooops.

The annual midwinter thaw may be upon us. Possibly.

Ok, so this entire comic is really an excuse for me to brag about my ride on Sunday. And no, I didn't actually go visit Liane or John, since I have no clue where they actually live in their respective towns.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........

Many thanks to John and Pete who made this workout possible. I think I would have stopped at panel #2, if I were by myself.

Sniff...

The pieces were actually halfway decent, so I am not all that upset about panels 1-3.
