Joining a tri club

Tonight is the Philly Tri Club social and annual kick off event. And I'm going. The past 2 years I've been very much a one-man wolf pack. For a variety of reasons I decided it wasn't worth the money to join a club and all that jazz. I had personal goals, and I didn't want anyone else influencing the outcome of those goals. I also get a little nervous meeting new people, but who doesn't?

Anyway, this year things are different. It's all about having fun. I want to get to know some people interested in the sport(s) and not have to do all my training alone. I also hear they get great deals from some of the local shops, which is a selfish perk... Nevertheless, it should be fun tonight.

On the topic of fun, I found a couple things this week that made me smile.

With the wedding coming in a mere 9 months, I have started to think about attire. I'm not sure if I'm going to go with a french cuffed shirt or not, but if I do rock the french cuffs, I'm definitely wearing these sweet cufflinks!

I am 100% serious by the way. If I wear a shirt that requires cuff links, these are them. This is not a joke.

And I found this clip over at Steve in a speedo's blog. He's always good for a laugh, and if you haven't seen this clip yet, it's hilarious. I will be the first to admit (shamefully), I've said a few of these lines before...

Happy training people! It's in the 50's in Philly today, so I'll be out on a nice long ride this afternoon.
