AHH the weekend...

Well tonight I have a long run coming and then a nice long bike ride! I hope to do some riding and searching out some different areas. It would be interesting to see what is around some different areas. I need to do some hills just to build some strength. I might do a ride called the Bakery ride but I am not sure yet. It would be cool to do, I will have to see what is going on.

So I wonder what it takes to become a pro? I mean if you were to quit your job and get sponsored and you had all the time in the world to train for something. Wouldn't that be awesome. I think it would. You would probably be tired but I think I could make it work if I tried hard enough. I will have to see. I actually did contact a couple of the protein bar manufacturers that do give out amateur sponsorships to see what they could offer. All you do is write a story about why you would want to be sponsored. Pretty easy. Now you just have to wait and see if they give you some dough.

Well have a good weekend and take it easy!

I have a friend who is a Pro triathlete on the ITU circuit. Lives at the Olympic training center. From our, Age grouper point of view its an amazing life. For them its spartan living and a life predicated on training every day all day. I would love to do it for a season but not a life.
