So, there is this guy at work. He is a bit older than I am and always plays the old man card. But for some reason he is this hidden competetor. It all started with this guy about 2 or so years ago when he finally took up my riding group to go for a lunch ride. He was on this uber-carbon loaded Specialized road bike. Mavic SSC whellset, Dura-Ace clad... all 9 yards. Well, we could basically shed him off the back like nobody's business. From this day... he has become competitive. This goes through running, cycling, and my weakness... swimming.
Anyway, he turns out to be a swimmer. So any chance he gets... including today... he brags he was sore from the 2000 yards he swam this morning. I then informed him I was taking beginner swimming lessons on top of the 2-week Ironman. With a grim face I get, "its never too late". So is it my time to catch him at his event? He has brought his cycling game much closer to my group.
Next challenge for us... the run.
