traineo
Web2.0 has been used as a hype word for so long now it has reached, at least for me, the status of somewhere between "handle with care" and "just stay clear of". So when i heard about traineo, a web2.0 site that helps you manage your sport, weight and diet, I was very skeptical.One month later, i just realized I am hooked on this site. I have tried more then one site that attempted some of these tasks, mostly performance and training logbooks, non of them were good enough for me to stick with. I don't know what it is about traineo, but i think it just does everything I wanted, and does it well, and it looks great to boost. The idea of the motivators is also a brilliant idea, and you know what? it actually works. I strongly suggest you to check it out
Surfing
I went surfing yesterday for the first time in a very long time. I never really was a surfer but I figured hey, its a board, and i snowboard and i have skateboarded, cant be that hard. Last time i tried was in Tenerife and there were pretty big waves there, so I was mostly peddling and trying to get to a spot where I could catch some waves. This second time was even worse. I went with my girlfriend to Scheveningen And after about 5 min I got stuck in a strong pull towards a rocky pier. I was peddling for about 30 min without moving an inch till i decided I should try and make for the pier before I'm to tried to do anything. In the meantime my girlfriend surfed to the beach and came to the pier. I got slamed on the rocks there but i made it out finally, board intact. I was less intact. My legs looked like i walked through a barb wire, and my hands didn't look much better, i got to the beach and colapsed there, so tired i couldn't move. After 10 minutes i got my breath back. I was willing to wait for my girlfriend while she surfed, but she didn't feel like it anymore, needles to say neither was I.
The most weird thing about all of this is i really am looking forward to surfing again. Only this time i think ill avoid any piers.
Great race, shame about Rossi
The motogp in germany today was just brilliant. Great action on all three races. On the 125 The battle was for second and third. 250 was a brilliant race all the way with a great finish. It was good to so Lorenzo not win a race, which makes the championship a lot more interesting.
The motogp race was great, but i can't help and feel bad about. Yes I'm a Rossi fan, Yes I probably most people are, but I think its good for the championship to have a close race to the world championship. Right now it looks like only Rossi is can threat Stoner. Stoner now has a 32 point lead which is very solid, Will be hard for Rossi to try and make this interesting. Pedrosa was amazing, he won witha hugh lead on a very difficult race. Capirrosi rounded up the podiumwith a strong second.
It was good to see Hayden getting back to his old self. He start 14, he finished third. Very impressive. Next week is laguna beach, where Hayden is very strong. Maybe we will get something of what was expected this season a Rossi-Hayden-Pedrosa fight.
