Ski Bunnies

So many of you were out on boards today enjoying the most excellent snow today. A few inches of fresh snow with calm weather can't be beat.

Tomorrow is the last day to get in swim miles during this portion of competition. This bunny has heard some muni pools might be offering hours. Most Alaska Club locations will be open till 7:00p. Little Campbell Lake will be open all day but is not a good choice this time of year. Whatever you do make sure to get your numbers for this session in by midnight. After that time they turn to pumpkins and don't count for anything.

Tuesday it all goes bike and we rock the rollers and tear up the trainers. Click on the new poll and tell us how your going to log those bike miles.

What I got for Christmas

Coal!?!

Happy Solstice Pretties

Yay! We made it through the big dark. Did you notice how much more light there was? I know that extra 30 seconds really kept me awake. Seriously, this Bunny almost fell into hibernation...until the thought of the uglies from the Lower-48 stirred me awake.

The cold, darkness, crowded gyms, and lack of lanes, make training harder than anywhere else yet we do our thing, and we do it well. We get out there no matter what the conditions are like. Because of this, Alaska teams have been been a permanent fixture in the top five.

I was out last night and what a sight. There were rabbit scamper prints all over the trail and puffs of snow on the trees like little bunny tails. Even saw one of those tall things on stilts (don't try to argue with 'em; they make NCC'ers down South look smart). Because we get out there on nights like this, and have fun doing it, the other clubs just can't rest easy.

Hope you all had fun at Solstice. (Bunny knows nothing about a rumor of certain individuals dancing around a campfire wearing nothing but a base-layer of polypropylene.) Tomorrow is Christmas and Bunny just can't wait to see what Santa Claws is going to bring. May the Big Man treat you well.

When I was a young rabbit kitten, I used to love to sleep in late then watch cartoons till way past noon. Bugs Bunny, Ricochet Rabbit, and all those other furries gave me a good laugh. But I'm not a rabbit kitten anymore and neither are you. We've got work to do to keep the uglies from San Diego, D.C., F.A.S.T., and GAGE off the scoreboards. So get out of bed, walk right past the TV, get out the door, and get some miles in.

Some of you have begun to trade out the extra swim time for wheels and I don't blame you; my fur has dried out and turned green too (remember these are called "battle-scars"). Join the indoor Espresso Ride at Chain Reaction Saturday mornings 8 till 10. It's a great chance to pedal, watch bike videos, and talk bikes. There's usually a dozen or two riders of mixed ages, genders, and abilities. It's doesn't matter what you ride or how fast you are; you won't get left behind (nor will you be able to pull a fast breakaway). When it's all done you can refuel with some premium java.

Warning! Those who frequently experience "bike envy" might want to reconsider. This is not the place for those with a bad case of G.A.S. ("Gear Acquisition Syndrome") and we all know that triathletes have it the worst. Yep, we're talking to you "Mr. carbon fiber valve caps" and you "Ms. gotta have another cute jersey". There's all this stuff made of titanium, aluminum, and carbon just dripping off the walls. If you show up with a Christmas bonus (cash, not the "Jelly of the Month Club") burning a hole in your pocket you might just walk out with a second bike, a trunk full of gear, or both. Let's just say this bunny has a hard time walking into this candy shop.

I like it.

I can't put my paw on it, but there's something about these. It's like they were made just for me.

O Bunnies...

I must say even I can be impressed from time to time. Just chatting w/the Tri Chick I've been told that you Fluffies swam almost 90 miles this morning. Seriously Sexy! I do have to offer a "sorry" for the lack of carrot cake, it appears my patch out back is slighty frozen, next time.

So, the Red Biting Bunnies moved beyond the 500 mile mark today, I hope you are all celebrating! Wabbits it appears you have some soggy days ahead?

Sounds like something fun is brewing for New Year's Day... I'm sure you will hear all about it soon enough.

H2O BABY!

I've been told about the RIVER and I will be there -- WILL YOU? The Tri Chick was telling me that some of you are worried about the chemicals in the river... whatevvvver... how many years have you been swimming? You think one swim in the river is going to melt your skin? That excuse is played... we are all soggy bunnies after these past couple of weeks in the water. The damage has already been done! Nuff said!

I heard the Red Bunnies are less than 80 miles to the 500 mile mark! I hope to see you RED bunnies there racking up the miles. Now you White Wabbits... I see you are still swimming strong but it appears that your efforts have been focused on staying in the top 5 OVERALL! Very impressive, still in 3rd place I see. Well it looks like you White Wabbits really need to be at the RIVER this weekend!

Let me know if you are going to show by posting a comment... maybe I'll bring some carrot cake just for YOU! (my fav of course)
