Krum and Kaker Meeting

As mentioned in the previous post, Sunday afternoon I had lunch with Krum and Kaker. It ended up being a two hour lunch. But it was fun, a lot of BSing going on. The three of us have all entered back into our Mr. Fitness stages. I of course would be the least fit of the three. Kaker had just finished running a 10 K the day before and pulled his hamstring. Krum is training for a marathon and the day before ran 20 miles in training. Me, I am just trying not to look fat anymore, and the day before, I drank pretty much from 2:00 in the afternoon until around 2:00 in the morning. But I have done my share of 5k runs, and sprint triathlons. For those that might be interested in running a 5k or doing a triathlon here are some tips that came out of that meeting.

Rickie's tips for 5K runs and Triathlons:
Do not eat 30 fish sticks before a race.
Do not do a shot of whiskey with 1/2 mile to go.
Do not run with an open safety pin in your shoe.
Do not try to dunk other participants at the beginning of a triathlon while waiting for your wave to begin during a water start.
Do not engage in water fights at water stations.

And from the mouth of Krum, during triathlons, first come first served with regards to Gatorade and foot wash buckets. if you do not approve of the rule...swim faster! This coming after Krum mentioned that he finished the swim faster than most and drank other competitors Gatorade and used their foot wash buckets in the transition station. Krum, I hope you never change.

Sorry Joe, Movie review of the Simpson's Movie to come tomorrow.
