Whew, what happened this last month, I havent posted anything in a while! "I've looked into it. There's a gas shortage and A Flock of Seagulls. Thats about it." Well, other things happened as well.
Tomorrow is my 24th birthday. Kinda weird. I was born June 20th 1988. Seems arbitrary. Anyway, its a good day to reflect on my life. When I think about it, I am incredibly fortunate to be here in Boulder pursuing a PhD and training for triathlons and going on night hikes and eating ice cream and contemplating the meaning of life. I can honestly say that there is not another person in the world who I would rather be. I just love life. And life cereal.
I talked to my mom tonight, thanked her for birthing me, and she got on my case about not making blog posts. She said she was bored with my blog, which is a fair assessment, so from now on I am going to post more frequently about what I am doing in Boulder.
Besides the flock of seagulls, lots been happening in boulder. On Memorial Day weekend (should have posted something back then), I went and watched the Boulder Boulder--the local 10k race--which is one of the largest 10ks in the country. The guys in front were impressive, as was the media truck, and of course Drew Scott. AND, I got to see some of my other CU Tri teammates out there running! There is some footage of Eric in here...and some fat dude riding a bike with pants that offered a little too much exposure...
I also got a clip of this annoying lady I was standing next to who kept yelling 'top of the hill and youre there.' I used to think that I just got frustrated with those people when I was racing (presumably because I was tired and dont want to hear that I am 'almost there') but at least when you are racing you only have to hear it once...
A few weeks ago I got a sweet new yellow wooden adirondack chair off craigslist! Recently I have been doing a lot of reading, recently finishing Capitalism and Freedom (fantastic), The girl with the dragon tattoo (mediocre), and am currently in the middle of Infinite Jest (eccentric). The adirondack chair has no doubt been instrumental to my literary training. I call it the chair of erudition.
Speaking of things that are instrumental to my training, Chobani sent me some yogurt! It has been a fantastic year so far being on the chobani fit triathlon team:
The yogurt was of course delicious. I have been eating it every day for lunch since I got it and even posted a twittalicious pic which was retweeted by @chobani. I felt special. What can I say, its good stuff. Great with chocolate chips.
Oh yeah speaking of which, I got a twitter account. You can follow me at @rudy.kahsar for live updates of my pretzel consumption habits (my favorite topic to write about #salty). I am also going to be competing with teammate @chris.braden2 for who can tweet about chobani and the rest of our awesome sponsors the most...
For now, thats it, but I will certainly have more to say in the coming weeks!
