Just a quick not for all you Internet Explorer users out there. As you probably know, my right content area was floating way off to the right side of the screen. I fixed that issue and checked it in IE 5.5, 6, and 7 and it displays where it should. There are still some minor display bugs in IE, particularly 5.5. I’m only going to sweat display issues in IE 7. For versions 6 and older it’s not worth it to me to take the time to figure it out. If I had a large number of users on those versions of IE then maybe I’d consider it. However, most folks are using firefox with a few on IE. Anyway, just thought I’d let you folks on IE know I fixed a major display issue for you. However, Firefox is still the best browser to view this site with. Take it easy.. and Get Firefox, if you don’t already have it.

Finished up my run about thirty minutes ago. I’m feelin’ good. Had the bike yesterday.. and I definitely think that is my strongest segment. I managed about 17mph on my 64 minute ride. Keep in mind that is on a mountain bike (an old Giant Iguana steel frame) which has a bent wheel (due to a recent run in with an SUV) that rubs the brakes on every revolution of the wheel. I can’t help but think my average pace will vastly improve on a tri-bike. My swim on the other hand needs a lot of work. I’ll just keep hammering it out.

On another note, I had designed some t-shirts for “Team Breathe Easy” to wear in their relay to raise funds for cystic fibrosis research. “Auntie M” sent me one of the tees through the mail and I’m quite pleased with how they turned out. Check ‘em out in the pic below.

Alright folks, first of all I want to apologize for the lack of an entry in quite some time. Secondly, I’d like to warn you to not get too excited yet. This will be a short entry. A very short entry in fact. The reason? It’s near midnight, and I’m tired. Why so tired? Well, I recently registered for the 2007 Kiawah Island Triathlon. It’s an Olympic distance tri, which means 1.5km swim, 45km bike, and a 10km run. Wow!

How might I do this? I’m training fairly rigorously (for what I’m used to anyway). Since it’s my first triathlon and I’m not quite sure what I’m doing, and am quickly learning there is lots to learn, I have taken to none other than… the internet for help. I picked up a training schedule at beginnertriathlete.com and found a rather entertaining podcast and blog at zentriathlon.com.

Hopefully those links will keep you entertained for the next day or so until I update with a more detailed explanation for all of this craziness. Oh yea, I also took a little time to tweak my style sheet and uploaded my about page, which you can access via the navigation at the top of the site.

Ah yes, before I forget.. this one is especially for you Poppie..

You folks that followed my AT journal back in 2005 may remember a fellow hiker by the name of “Daytripper”. Well, she’s back at it again. Except this time she’s on the CT, or for those not in the know, the Colorado Trail. If my memory serves me correctly, that’s around 454 miles or something like that (too tired to use google right now). So, go check out her CT 07 trail journal and cheer her on.

I’m out.. Peace.
