Sunday the 13th of July started early for me.  I arrived at Lake Crabtree at about 6:15 AM to take part in the Triangle Triathlon.  Joe and Steve had other commitments so I was there to represent Endurance Magazine the best I could.  The race went well and I enjoyed hanging out with my good friend Ricardo (November 2007 cover and star WindSpeed client) afterwards.  Just as a side note, Ricardo told me about how he's "building" a bike, which to me means you just order a frame and a bunch of components, bring them to a local bike shop, and have them puzzle the bike together.  No, Ricardo is actually building a bike, as in designing a frame on the computer, creating molds for a monocoque carbon fiber frame, using epoxy and fiber glass tape, etc.  Pretty impressive!

Anyway, now that I'm home relaxing in the A/C, I am probably doing what the 890 other participants are doing (or not), which is checking to see if Set Up Events has posted the race results.  At this point in time they aren't up yet, but don't worry because I am checking every 2 minutes!  What is it that make race results so great to look at?  The funny thing is, once you finally get to look at them the build up simply doesn't live up and you end up feeling sort of let down.

With my thought patterns now officially stuck in the "how about now?, how about now?, now?, now?,..." loop, I thought about a hilarious bit that the well-known comedian Kevin James did about the frustrations of unlocking the driver side door while your passenger keep pulling up on the passenger door handle.  Fast forward to 4:25 in the video.
