tattoos and triathlon training

New ideas for the tattoos I’ll probably never get: on one deltoid, a large meeple. On the other deltoid, a circle of dancing abstract androgynous figures holding hands/arms over shoulders. I’m pretty sure the image I have in my head for the latter is straight from my older sister’s () artwork circa my time in high school.

That’d definitely bring in the guys. But in terms of symbolic significance, that really speaks to me.

This weekend I ran 6 miles on friday (listening to this american life and the center for strategic and international studies podcasts) and biked about 15 on saturday (spread out across several segments).

Today I biked into work, and if all goes according to plan, I may do some open water swimming this afternoon on my way home. Here’s the rub with that plan: there’s no place to lock up my valuables near the open water swim area.

It’s maybe 1/3 of the way home from work, a very short walk from navy pier. I can handle keys, ID, a twenty and my driver’s license (yay ziploc baggies). But my shoes and my clothes? (trust?) My cell? My mp3 player? (Leave those behind at work?) What a hassle.
