What you did today?
Ironman is less than two weeks aways, and I'm stressing out about tapering. I was out of town this last weekend and didn't get in any long training sessions. I feel like my fitness level is pretty solid, but I'm still worried about the long ride and managing my nutrition. I'd done a bunch of 3-4 hour training sessions, but I'm worried that isn't enough. Most plans call for backing off at this point so the body is rested, but I'd really like to try and put in 5 hours on the bike this weekend. That way I can practice nutrition and get a feel for how being on the bike that long will be. Maybe it is a bad choice, I'm not sure. I also want to get in a two hour run this week, hopefully at race pace, and I need to try and eat during it as well. Basically I'm worried more about food than the exercise.

The NHL Thread
I went to bed at the 3-0 deficit, but thankfully someone texted me after the first goal, so I got to watch the good stuff. Crazy game! Hockey is so weird.

What you did today?
I'm looking forward to expanding the scope of my thumbs upping. Ironman is about 2 weeks away and I'm freaking out. Also my daughter is turning 12, which is also the level she has turned her teenage angst up to.

I think those crowdfunding movies got around making people pay to appear in their films by giving them producer credits, or something.

Extras usually get some sort of daily stipend.

Overboard (2018) - This was better than I expected. The cast was very solid, and it followed the original closely. I always enjoy Anna Faris, so that is probably a good way to decide if you will like it. I am a huge fan of the original so it was nice to see them pay tribute to it.

I'm not saying they are similar, I'm saying they have little in common with their party's leadership.

I wouldn't really call Bernie a Democrat anymore than I'd call Ron Paul a Republican.

How much sleep do you get and how do you feel?
I'm pretty consistent at getting over 7 hours, but typically struggle to sleep more than 8. Since I upped my exercise a ton in the last couple years, I've found my sleep is much higher quality. Like, I wake up feeling the effects of that recovery time, and I'm ready to do stuff. Although a lot of times I fall asleep for an hour and wake up with tightness in the legs, and I'll be covered in sweat. I get up, stretch it out, grab a dry blanket, and fall back to sleep pretty easily. It's weird.

I thought Barr came across very well. I'd like to think this whole thing will be put behind us now, but I'm sure everyone will find a way to spin it to fit their own agenda.

I took the wife to see Shazam! It was a lot of fun, and had some great Tom Hanks Big moments. Bit darker than I expected, so probably best I didn't take the kiddos.

What Christians are you referring to? Catholics tend to love their gaudy symbols.

Curry with the most 3's in playoff history. Crazy, he's probably got another decade left to play.

I thought TLJ was a bit weak as well, but it still gave me a chance to take my kids to the movies and engage in some fun bonding over a universe and characters we have both grown up with.

The Star Wars movie makes me think it will be a lot of fun to watch, but a lot of people will be upset because they take their space fantasy too seriously.

Management company also wants to work in a way to raise the rent with every new lease. So they sign a lease for a year at $2480, but then raise it a couple hundred on the next year.

After waiting impatiently for 2 days, I called up our property management office to get an update on our security deposit. They claim it was processed incorrectly, and they will be sending a $1700 check next week to make up the difference. Yay for not having to go to small claims court! Still a bit suspicious until the check clears.
