The Moleskin:
1. Wiggler Surpassing the Brisket:Today’s Brisket pace was a comfortable (on paper) low 7 mins per mile while the Wiggler seems to be getting faster with a low 8 mins per mile pace. Are we going to have to eventually merge the 2 runs into 1? Maybe at some point in the distant future…
2. Post-Run Orange Wedges: After the run Johnny Most broke out a big spread for the faithful complete with Evian water and Orange wedges. I felt like it was halftime at a soccer game from when I was 8 years old in Atlanta, GA. It was much appreciated.
3. Westminster Kennel Club: I’m not sure what kind of dog MMOB has, but it certainly looks dog show worthy. The problem is that it couldn’t hang for the Brisket and was relegated to trunk of the Lexus for the first 30 minutes today. Luckily all was fine when it got the chance to stretch its legs during the Wiggler.
4. Escape from Alcatraz Sans Wetsuit:The Heat Mizer mentioned something about forgoing a wetsuit for the 55 degree dip in the San Francisco Bay when he competes in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in June. I think a speedo will be a fine choice of attire for that day.
5. Hanoi Jane: I knew that in 1972 Jane Fonda visited North Vietnam and had some odd pictures taken posing with North Vietnamese soldiers and military equipment, but I didn’t know that she also visited American POWs on that trip. Later when cases of torture began to emerge among POWs returning to the United States, Fonda called the returning POWs "hypocrites and liars." She added, "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed." That is just crazy to me.
