This past weekend, Liam, Kelly and I went to Round Rock, Texas to do the Frost yer Fanny duathlon. It was cold (you northerners - quit laughing), but a fun weekend.
the retarded delegation from Houston
Yes, I was disqualified! Although finished the race. More on this later - it touches on a very serious issue, but I'm kind of tickled that I DQ'd. I'm such a rebel, me. Actually, not sure if I was REALLY disqualified, as on the official results, it doesn't show that I am. And I was allowed to finish, so that's all I care about.
The night before at the hotel, they held the Regional USAT awards and since Liam is the fastest 20-24 year old in the region, he went to get his award. We figured that, hey we're not really racing and it doesn't start until 9 am, let's get drunk. Uhm yeah. We each got 1 beer and none of us finished the whole bottle. sad... Oh, saw Caroline Smith there. She's not famous (not yet anyway), but I linked her blog. She has a very similiar story of someone changing her life around and really getting into triathlon. Party girl turns into pro triathlete.
When we walked the dogs (yes, Jasper and Toby both came!), it was 27 degrees outside and we almost said f-it and went back to bed. But about an hour later, it had warmed to the thirties and by the time the race started, it was above freezing (nice for them to start it at 9 AM). As usual, I had a chat with some nice strangers about my little bitty bike.
Liam and Kelly did the shorter course (2 miles/10miles/2miles) and despite their claims of "just having fun" of course, they did well. Kelly won her age group by a whopping 12 minutes! Liam was second in his age group. Probably would have won, but I think he ran an extra mile (the run was on trails on not marked out that well.)
I'll do a real quickie summary, as I want to rant about important stuff. The first 5K I ran in about 32 minutes (10.25 min miles) which is pretty good for me. The bike was hillier and windier than I expected so I didn't hammer it and averaged 15.9 mph. The second run I did in about 34 minutes (11 min miles). I liked how the difference wasn't too much, which means either I paced myself well or I'm learning to run of the bike (probably both). I finished 6th in my age group of 9. Oh, yeah old ladies' age group of 35-39 for the first time! haha. Kelly and Liam got the dogs from the hotel, so I was able to cross the finish line with Toby! She ran 200 feet and that was enough for her.
SERIOUS STUFF: So, I was disqualified. Although I don't see if officially anywhere on the results page. At around mile 2 on the bike, I saw the race officials following close by me. They called out "what's your number? " because it had folded over. I told them, then asked "why" but they didn't answer. For several minutes, I was racking by brains trying to figure out what - was I drafting, not passing correctly? Just by chance, I looked down at my shadow and saw my helmet strap. My helmet was not on correctly! I got off my bike and refastened it and kept on cycling. I knew that this was bad, really bad. Only in the end, did Liam tell me that this was an automatic DQ. That's fine, I'm okay with this and completely agree with it. I was allowed to finish the course and have my times and it wasn't as if I was in contention of winning anything. HOWEVER, I have some serious issues here:
1. The officials did not even inform me that my helmet was undone.
2. If I hadn't caught it myself, I would have ridden my bike 18 miles without my helmet on properly.
3. They should have just pulled me from the course; if not, then at least freakin' tell me!
4. I went to talk to the head official of the race. And her answer was "It's not the USAT officials responsiblity to inform you. It's the Race Director's staff. It is only our responsibility to observe, but not comment." WTF?! She was really nice about it, but I told her that if rules essentially are to ensure the safety of the race, and I completely agree with this rule, then isn't it important to DO SOMETHING if they see this violation? Isn't it more unsafe to let me RIDE MY BIKE ALONG A HILLY HIGHWAY WITHOUT MY HELMET FASTENED ON?!
The whole "it's not our responsibility etc" is shirking of the highest order. It's plain common sense. "Oh, yeah well, I saw this lady being raped, but I just OBSERVED and didn't DO ANYTHING because it's not my job!" Actually, I can see it being a liability for the USAT; for example, say that I crashed and died or severely injured myself. It is documented exactly what time they noticed this violation. So in the court room, the lawyer can point that despite knowing that I was riding unsafely, they let me ride, therefore partially responsible. I don't think the jury would care for the "it's not our job" answer. Of course, the real tragedy would be if I had really hurt myself!
So I am planning to write the USAT about this incident. I really, really don't quite understand it. I know that the world does not follow common sense, but come on! I need to cool off a bit so I can write a rational and well-intentioned letter. Also I need to ask S. Baboo about this issue, since he is an USAT official.
Go out with a funny: the funniest thing I said after the race was "I'm never going to forget my strap-on"
"I was racking my brains" Damn, how many do you have?
And yeah, never forget your strap-on.

Mine doesn't need a strap. **pervy heavy breathing here**
12 Minutes??!!! Were the other girls even in the same zip code as Kelly by that point?

I am sorry to hear about the DQ, I have had my fair share of penalties. I was an official at the Hel-of-a-Du in San Antonio this past December and a participant had made it onto the bike course with NO helmet. I had to take him off the course and load his bike into my truck. We had a funny conversation on the way back about how he had done the race in 2006 and trained all year to improve his time in 2007. He was pretty down on himself, but said he would train all this year for it again. I am surprised the official in your case did not have you fasten your help or take you off the course. See you at the races, with Lucy ; )

Tri Nazi's I like to call them... No Soup for you, uh, er, I mean NO race for you... At the Silverlake Tri last year I rode my bike from the parking lot (which was a mile away) the offical (aka Tri Nazi) told me and the guy that was riding next to me that we were both disqualified without giving a reason. He then turned his back to us and went about his business, with no explanation. We stood there confused and we figured he was joking. So as we started to enter the transition area he yelled "I said you are disqualified" I dont take to being yelling very well. So the discussion began, he ended up letting us race, but I know now that helmets are required before, during, and after the race. But you are correct, an explaination is needed if its such a safety concern....

Well now, I was searching for blogs on fitness or health when i came across this post. Although not exactly what I was expecting I will give it ****.
Posted by: Bicycle Racks | October 18, 2010 at 10:50 AM
I was watching rachel bilson nude once and then I realized why not to make the whole website that would be dedicated to those photos of her... This idea is realized right now as you can see and this post is sort of as introduction. I hope you can get the maximum of what I am offering you... But before that, take a look at this photo of constance marie naked naked that I have right here... Don't you think this one is the best among the other ones? Anyway, let's start our review already then.
She is blond and I love them very much... Being 20 years old I think she has done pretty much for her life. Most teens at the same age are either in college or having a party all day long seating without a job... But thandie newton nude is just an example for all of us... If you put your heart and soul into something then it will work for sure.
I bet every man regardless of age and sexual orientation would love to see rhona mitra nude because that kind of beauty cannot be ignored.
Her body is something well proportioned and so young that I think she could do modeling with no problems. The only problem that could stop her from making that career is probably her height... Honestly, I don't know how tall she really is but when I see some photos of sarah roemer nude I start assuming she is not less than 5'7 which is totally enough for becoming a model.
Her tits seem to be pretty small for me but I forget about that little shortage when I realize they are so smooth and elastic... Just imagining that you touch them can make you feel very excited... at least, works with me. I bet woman like her won't ever do a plastic surgery. Besides, she is 20 only and maybe she needs more time for her boobs to grow... I wish her tits would be pretty big in future... but only natural.
How about her ass? It is much bigger than her breasts so I think it is ok... She probably works in gym or something because having that cute butt without a hard work is impossible.
Now it is time to introduce you something else besides those pictures of rihanna tits above as I think you might get bored with them... although this is something very hard to believe in. I will go with this one. "There's more to life than dating the boy on the football team." First of all, I bet all football players in her high school were trying to date her and many of them tried to get a chance to see vanessa hudgens naked too... But I guess all of them failed as this girl has got some new and pretty high demands that have lead her to where she is right now. All school girls should take an example from her because there is more in your life than dating some popular guy from school. If you think that this can make you popular too, you are wrong... First of all, there is no guarantee that he will be a professional player and earn millions. Most people are ended up like Ell Bundy... this is pretty obvious comparison, but I guess it is funny.
So, how about we settle on this... Becoming popular means working hard from day to day which is what exactly lauren holly nude did and I'm very proud of this girl...
Nude celebrities have always been something all people want to be a part of... For example, when I look at this picture of cote de pablo naked the only thing I can think of is pretending me being there with her on that pic. But there is nothing bad in that, right? Nobody kills or charges for that kind of thoughts... just kidding though, don't take it serious. Anyway, I would like to present you the second quote from her...
"People haven't always been there for me but music always has." Well, if you ask me to be there for you kaley cuoco porn, I will always do that. I bet everyone else is feeling the same way, right? If not, then how about checking out some sasha alexander nude first and then I think you're ready...
I have got some kareena kapoor nude right there that I would like to share them with you if that's ok. Anyway, I hope you don't mind at all. Well then, let's go.
First I saw bianca kajlich nude was somewhere between April and May on some nice photos. Back there I didn't pay much attention to her as a personality but when I realized how hot she really is I started to try to get her know better. The first thing that I have noticed about this young girl was her tiny tits. You might wonder how it was possible to notice them but let me tell you that when you see a woman standing topless it is pretty hard not to.
I guess it is time for our quote of the day from megan fox naked so here it is "I've never really been popular with the boys." Too bad to hear that because woman like could easily do that thing. Being popular among boys is always tough but when you are pretty just like sofia vergara porn, you can run them whatever you like and this is just fun for girls... I know that because I have been manipulated by one hot chick before I knew she only needed hard and dirty sex from me. Of course that didn't hurt at all but you get this feeling being a male whore and this is kind of unpleasant, you know.
Oh, that was quite nice, wasn't it? I think you liked it pretty much as I did.
Knock, knock... Who's there? It is me again but this time I have got some fresh demi lovato naked with me, so can I come in? Thank you.
Have you noticed what kind of curly and long gold hairs maggie q nude has? Oh yeah, this is the first thing why I love this woman. The second one would be her breast and then ass by the way. But let's stop on hairs. They are so rare and precious that I think she takes care of them every few hours. Can you imagine how much money she spends all the time to make a good hairstyle and those really expansive shampoos and other stuff that is just necessary? If you sum the whole money she gives on her hairs every month I am sure it will be ten times more than your monthly paycheck... No offence though.
As you know, it is time for her quote. "I love make-up. I play with my look and try on all kinds of colors" Girl, you are so young and gorgeous... Why would you need this stuff? I understand if Pam or Paris does that kind of thing all the time because they are uglier than you... Don't get me wrong, that's not what I was trying to say. You are very hot and I love you so much, but don't play with makeup because you can get used to it.
Yep, I know it was great and you had fun today... But unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to each other now.
If you don't believe that these pictures of sophia loren nude are real then explain yourself because if you don't then I am going to have to ask you to leave... just kidding by the way.
What a view... it is so amazing, isn't it? Oh, I am sorry, I didn't tell you. Have a look at this photo featuring kat dennings nude because I am sure you won't forget that ever. She is only 20 years old but she is so pretty and mature already. I wonder how sexy she will look by the age of 30 or something because according to my pretty solid experience most women get their maxim sexuality when they something between 30 and 35. This is the top of being sexy and right now all women should support me... But don't think that if you are 49 or even 60 you can't look sexy anymore. There are thousands of examples that I can give you right here but you should know that by yourself.
And now here is her quote that might help you "In middle school and junior high, all my friends ditched me, so I was really lonely." I guess the problem was that kareena kapoor nude was nerd back there and thus nobody really wanted to be friends with her. But she tried to be herself and I bet they would carry her on their hands if only they knew what kind of star she will turn too pretty soon. And she did actually, however it is too late for those people.
This is it fellows, have a nice day.
I hope that this photo of jennette mccurdy nude will be applicable here as that's what this review is all about.
Do you think you can easily watch those victoria justice nude on the web? Nah, I don't think so. You will have to do your best to find them as this is something quite rare and unique. It is not like for example searching Pam's naked photos because the whole world knows how to find them and the whole web is full of those sick pics. But if you come to this website by your own it means you did your best and right now you will definitely see some of those pics...
I saw this quote from her the other day and thought you might be interested. "A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums" I can fully agree with her on this point but there is something I don't like about her songs. No, really, they are like similar to each other and either about love or heartbreak which is probably the same thing. I would advise stana katic nude to step of a bit that kind of theme as first of all, she repels guys with her music by saying how some boy let someone down or something. And singing about love will only attract women and I don't think you are a lesbian.
Wow, I didn't expect this review will be that nice which means I did a good job here.
You probably came here for some lauren graham nude, right? Then please explain me one thing... What the hell are you waiting for?
Who would thought that we will watch one day these gorgeous pics of anna nicole smith nude and will talk about the way her tits look on them. By the way, let's do that. I think her tits are pretty nice except for the fact that small. But I guess that's ok as she is only 20 years old and maybe they will grow a bit in some nearest future... At least that's what all her male fans hope for. I actually don't think that all men who can say hilary duff naked is one of their favorites, love her for her songs... They surely like her sexuality and the way she looks.
Now it would be appropriate to put this quote here... And just so you know it is from her. "Somebody who has a compatible sense of humor with me, this would be the most important thing," I have a huge sense of humor that can probably beat yours, stana katic nude. If you don't believe me then come on... bring it on. But being serious, I wish her to find that kind of guy that would make her laugh every day and she couldn't stop loving him for that... Damn it, I sound like gay again... Damn her songs, they make me feel sissy. See, I told you I can be fun.
Sad, very sad to say that but this is the end of my review... So I guess goodbye.
This good girl can be gone bad pretty soon. Take a chance to look at mila kunis nude here and you will understand what I am talking about. But for me, being bad is kind of sexy.
I wonder what it is like to see sophia bush nude live standing right in front of you. This chance will get only her boyfriend I guess and no one else... Well, maybe some doctor but I was talking about having sex. That fellow will be very happy and I will be calling him the luckiest son of a bitch, in a good way of course. Man, I wish I was her boyfriend just for one night and I would make a party and invite all my friends so they were jealous. And then, on the next morning I would say to them that I dumped her. That would be cool.
I remember this quote from her that I am sure you will find both, hilarious and useful "I feel kind of unnatural looking down to people and they looking up to you" What to do kristin chenoweth nude? You are such tall. I mean she is almost 6 feet sharp and now imagine her wearing high heels... She will be about 6'2 or something after that. I wonder what kind of guy she wants for herself... Probably 6'6 or something, but not less... I bet she needs a basketball player to date with. Yeah, that's it. They will look kind of sexy and very unreachable for paparazzi if you know what I am saying.
So anyway, I hope you keep reading my reviews because they are fun and very hot.
Would you like to see laura prepon naked? If that's so, then I welcome you. This place is something where you can check her out totally without her clothes.
What do we know about her ass? I don't mind calling it two nice pies because that is a precise description for it. If you look at this sarah roemer nude I have hot right here you will be able to check her butt in some different angle which will give you some very nice view of it. But the point is to appreciate them, so go ahead.
I forgot about one thing to put here... it is her quote "I always have an idea who I want to thank if I win" This is pretty obvious. In fact, I say there is no celebrity that would say something quite extraordinary during that ceremony of winning speech. They all sound very banal and to be honest people are getting sick of it. I think, if they don't come up with something spicy or at least unique and different from those "thanks" the crowd won't be clapping at all because this is getting all people bored. Come one you guys, you are so smart... alice eve naked, you are not stupid blond, aren't you? Then think of anything that would differ from those "I want to thank my producer and my fans. Nothing would be possible without you. Also thanks to my cat Kittles as he inspired me so much with his peeing on my shoes" and some other crap like that.
Yeah, this was pretty fun and I liked it very much. I hope you have same feelings about this. Bye.
