I am watching Blue Planet again (!) and I always find all of the DVDs pretty fascinating. My personal favorite is disc 3, which is "Deep Seas." Mmmmmmm...

I can't wait for my computrainer to get here...I heart computrainer. I was contemplating getting Kreitler Rollers, but space is limited and buying rollers (even though they're cheap on slowtwitch.com) seems to be a foolish use of space. I was contemplating getting a Garmin 305 (or maybe a 705?!) computer in order to create virtual maps of places I've ridden which in all their awesomeness could be uploaded to create new Computrainer files....fucking ridiculous. I found one used on slowtwitch for $150, shipped. I might be able to find one for less on ebay, but we'll see.

I think I have decided I want to do a big bike tour this year, either by attending a carmichael training camp (super cool) or by doing one of those organized cycling tours. Alternatively, I could enter a race in another city - I was thinking Tucson, AZ - and just plan a mini vacation around that...I am so so so excited and am going to look into doing something awesome like this in November.

I am also eyeing next year's civilian tour stage...
