Customization

I am trying to find out how much it will cost for the FSU Tri team to place an order for custom-painted aero helmets (the Rudy Project Syton). I was referred to this guy named Darin. His blog has some of his work showcased. I was amazed.

Running Skirts

A few months ago, I stumbled on a website selling running skirts...not that I was looking to buy one. I thought they were a great idea and figured that all they needed to do is get a famous chick to wear one and sales will take off. A month or 2 after that, I saw a running skirt in Runner's Depot in Vero. At Collegiate Nationals Triathlon, they were selling them. This month's issue of Runner's World has a cover girl wearing one. I guess they're taking off.

I didn't realize until I saw the ones at Collegiate Nationals that they have built-in bloomers. Which makes me wonder why you wouldn't just wear spandex running shorts and get rid of that extra material. Maybe it looks better or something. Maybe you can put pockets in the other part. Anyway, they're taking off. In fact, I saw that a men's running skirt exists. I'm not down for that.

The candy bar "Snickers" was named after a horse.

Surf

There must be something incredible about catching a wave. Surfers are willing to travel for hours to get to a place where the waves are breaking. They'll skip other cool stuff going on to go surfing. Many are passionate about it. They deal with the risk of sharks and injury.

I can't believe I grew up in coastal Florida and never learned how to surf. I'd really like to even though it may become addicting.

Teaching

I'm teaching Principles of Microeconomics during the second half of the summer. Class has been pretty good so far. I'm a lot less nervous than I was last year at this time. I think I have more confidence after teaching a class, passing my prelims, tutoring more people, and preparing a second time. I had 62 students registered this morning, which is a little bigger than last time. It also might be nice to be in a regular classroom instead of an auditorium. I'm looking forward to the rest of the semester.
