Last night went to a barbeque that turned out to be a who's who of triathlon. I didn't know any of the people by face, but later learned that I had been chatting with Joanna Zeiger, Craig Alexander, Simon Lessing, Emma Snowsill, Dave Scott, Wolfgang Deitrich, Chris Legh, Gordo Byrn, Monica Byrn and all kinds of other athletes.

When I run here in Boulder I am endlessly amazed, first, at how many fit people there are here and second how little everyone works. Does no one have a full-time job?
