I bet when you read the title of this post you thought that a new baby was on the way.  Well, that’s not going to happen.  That was nipped in the bud a little while ago with a procedure that wasn’t all that pleasant!

I also bet you thought that I’d be writing about some triathlon race that I’ve currently completed.  Nope, races this year have been few and far between because of the whole blood clot issue.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve raced a couple of times this year.  Race results were solid but nothing to write home about.  I am looking forward to Clearwater 70.3.  I have two (2) solid months to get ready for it and believe that I’ll be ready to “Rock and Roll” when the time comes.

This particular post is to talk about my newest toy.  No, it’s not as exciting as Roger’s Trek bike reviews.  Awesome job on those Rog!  And don’t get me wrong, I love my Trek 9.9 SSL!  I think it’s by far the fastest TT rig in the market today.  If I had a nickel for each time somebody said NICE BIKE to me during a ride or at a race I’d be a rich man today.  So, way to go Trek.  Nope, this post is about a piece of equipment that I try to use at least once a day.  It’s an important part of my training schedule.  This is what I am talking about:

Yep, it’s our brand new hot tub.  Nothing feels better after a days training session than jumping in this bad boy for about 15 – 20 minutes.  I am talking 51 jets and six (6) seats of “full on” recovery.  Plus, there’s a small water fall that adds some “coolness” to the tub.  At night you can turn on several different lights (my kids love this feature) that add to the allure of the tub.  The colors are blue, red, green, yellow, purple, orange, white and then there’s the “toggle” between all the colors feature.  It’s pretty awesome.

Anytime you’re in the Nashville area just give me a ring.  We can do some serious working out and then some serious relaxing afterwards.

I hope everyone is doing well this season.  Based on all of the post I am reading TEAM TIMEX is kicking butt and taking names this season.  Looking forward to Clearwater (and potentially Augusta 70.3) in the near future.  I promise my next post will be triathlon training/racing related.

Hope to see some of you soon!
