3 feathers and 3 rocks. I usually wake up every morning at 3 am for a potty break. I like competing in triathlons. Not just a coincidence.
I'm almost through my first week of taper and the weather forecast for this weekend is pretty darn nice. A little open water swim, some biking, running, and cheering for my tri buddies at 2 local races. It doesn't get much better than that.
I guess I better get my shave on, or off as the case may be. Now that it's race season, It's time to plug in the trimmer for the first wave and then shave the stubble. I'm not an overly hairy guy but I do sport the average amount of leg, arm and chest hair. Yes, I get a bit metosexual this time of year and really do like the idea of cleanly shaved bod. I find it makes the wetsuit peel off slightly easier and hey, I just feel faster with no body hair. And taper time is just the right time to FEEL FASTER. None of that Nair for Men crap, I use shave cream and a razor. Not a brand new razor, mind you, but one that's been used a couple times. Using a new one in the past has left me a bit rashed in places and my girl-friend triathletes always took notice to point out my mistakes. Easy ladies, I only shave the exposed areas. Anything under the bikini is left alone. Guys...whatever.

Glad you are enjoying your taper - that bit about shaving made me think my husband had better not take up triathlon as he'd have to shave his whole body LOL
Ummm, I wonder if I know you well enough to have just read that post...?!
Tell those tri chicks to shove it, REAL men get razor burn.
Hey, thanks for visiting my blog! Good luck with that razor burn. I actually think hair conditioner works really well (instead of shaving cream) to prevent it. :-)
don't we need before and after pics of the shaving event? come on! you're holding out on us!
I noticed that the less I train, the more I go to cheer on other people at races. It's a good tradeoff!
