I was watching some coverage of ice sledge hockey, part of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic games. Long time ago, I agreed with a good friend that hockey players were indeed the most physically talented athletes out there. Seriously. Going full speed on ice, on skates, using a stick to control a tiny puck, all while getting clobbered. Nevermind trying to get the puck into the tiny goal which is, for all practical purposes, fully shielded by the dude in huge pads and with lighting-quick reflexes. Maybe it's cuz I didn't grow up on ice, but that is crazy stuff. HOWEVER, the paralympic athletes I saw last nite, for me, took all that to a whole new level. I was in awe, I could not stop watching. That's what I call bad-ass hockey players.
In other news, Oceanside 70.3 is T minus 10days. The Triad is ready to roll. Pictures up soon. Hopefully it warms up a little so we can have a good vacation (and a good race!).
