Hello Children of The Corn,

You know what’s better than a Vietnamese emailing you during billable hours? … A Vietnamese emailing you during billable hours to tell you that it’s billable hours.   I haven’t been this excited about emailing you during billable hours since that time my boss told me that I needed to stop sending personal emails during billable hours.   Like I told him, I can only Facebook for so long before I get bored.

Anyway, enough of the pleasantries.  Let’s get the 2024’s edition of Sunday Bike Ride with the Vertical Swimmer started.  If you are interested in buffering the wind from my soft delicate face this year, please click on the green “Register” link.  I will start a new email distro list so as not to spam the haters with my weekly diatribes about THE MAN, the law, or science.

Below is this year’s schedule.  We’ll most likely/maybe/perhaps not gather to shake the legs sometime in May for a ride or 2, but I need to get back on the bike to regain some of my girlish figure beforehand.  I’m still recovering from the dozen donuts diet.  Plus, if the air temperature is not equal to or greater than my weight, I don’t ride … so start praying for 70+ air temp at the start.

As always, the schedule below is for entertainment purposes only.  Routes and mileages will vary, depending on the peloton,   I have not signed up for an Ironman this year.  The gods have not spoken to me yet.  Once they do, the universe as well as the schedule may change.  The DC Tri club’s race this year is Ironman Chattanooga, so the schedule is geared towards that race … for propaganda purposes.

And you might join WaveOne Swimming at National Harbor when the weather warms.

The Black Coffee cafe in upper Gtown on MacArthur Blvd is a good place for afterwards.

To learn more about swimming, you might keep your eyes open for clinics at the Catholic U pool. The bike rides starting in spring out of Georgetown is another thing to watch out for.

Welcome aboard. You might look at the EagleMan Half, if you dare. Come to our happy hours to meet us. Any relation to the Humphrey political family? You might also think of helping out on swim instruction for the newer triathletes.

You might drop in on the New Triathlete Program this weekend. There’ll be many veteran and leader athletes there…Btw, we had a Rappaport member once who was related to the big real estate firm.

Might suggest changing DEI to “Outreach”. A less politically loaded term. Then have more membership drive presence at packet pickups and such. We’re Tripartisan. Rolling out…

[mosered]

Kicking things off by nominating several among the many who are deserving–

Veteran, male, John Sener

Veteran, female, Cindy Hutchings

Brady Nelson Spirit, Lauren Fassler & Anne Ellyse Kania….
