The Tour De France is over, which is too bad but gives me more time for reading. But after 3 weeks it does feel like it was just long enough. I purchased a couple cycling jerseys inspired by the tour.
This is the jersey awarded to the King of the Mountains:
Tom has talked about doing some sprint trials, since I am not too fast yet it might be fun to show up in this jersey.
This second one is from my favorite team this year, Saxo Bank. This exact jersey would be worn by Fabian Cancellara who is the Swiss Champion.
There were 12 of us in our Fantasy Tour De France league. Karen came in first and I came in 2nd. Not too bad for only knowing a few names at the start of the tour. I'm tempted to try and see next years tour while my friends Brad and Amy are in France for a 2 year assignment.
Good News:
I am doing a 5K this Saturday. It is the Glendale 5K and runs by all the nice houses. I remember seeing it last year while driving by and wanting to try it.
Bad News:
Despite my 1/2 Marathon retirement after a successful Flying Pig, it is sad to know that the first annual Disney Wine, Dine, and Run 1/2 Marathon is sold out. It included some of my favorite things. EPCOT at night (starts at 10pm) a Wine Tasting after the race (until 3 am), and a 1/2 Marathon. Ok 2 out of 3 isn't bad.
It is Oct 2nd which is also the same day as the Little Miami Fall Triathlon.

If you are interested in other Disney half marathons (ahem, and marathons) - try the Disney Goofy Challenge!!! It's in January. :)
Congrats to you and Karen on your TDF wins - too bad you were disqualified for having Contador on your teams - it was a test to see who would sell out to that cheater! Andy Schleck got robbed!!
I think it's really cool how you're developing more and more hobbies/enthusiasms. :)
