6000 meter workout! After 10 days off. Nice!

You won't mind if I just waterski behind you at Wisconsin, do you? :)

One day I too will outlast a lifeguard. Way to go! I bet like heck it felt great : D

Reading your post made me wonder why Mastercard hasn't done a triathlon priceless commercial. Hmm, maybe they've got one planned to air during Ironman? If not, someone here should really pitch them one (me/eyes qcmier).
