TDF Starts!

The Tour de France started today - let our TV season begin! Yes, Lance Armstrong is back this year, but we're still gonna watch (if you've read his books, or have an opinion on doping in biking you'll know why we aren't fans.)


But Scott is playing the fantasy cycle team challenge again this year (pick your best 15 riders and select the 8 you want to race each day - they get points of placements in climbs, sprints and finishes.) He placed in the top half last year and his best daily finish was in the top 1,000 (there's about 15,000 people playing this year!) So we'll keep you posted on how this year goes.

This morning we were up early to watch a couple friends do a Sprint Tri (500m Swim, 20km bike and 5km run). It was Sandy's first Tri experience and she did really great! Katie is sharing some wetsuit knowledge with Sandy in the photo and helped to calm some pre-race jitters too. Congrats to both Tara & Sandy for a great race.
