Culpeper Sprint & The Birthday Workout

3300 yard swim, 33 mile bike, 2 hour skate

Culpeper Sprint & The Birthday Workout

What is the birthday workout?  The birthday workout was created by our friend Tim Peters.  For however old you turn (X), you must swim X00 yards, bike X miles, and run X minutes.  I turned 33 on August 3...so the workout would be 3300 yard swim, 33 mile bike, and 33 minute run (or maybe skate since it is my birthday and running hurts).

Chesapeake Bay Swim

The entire Coast Guard is waiting on YOU!

Chesapeake Bay Swim

4.4 mile swim…this one was a serious curser. What do I mean by this? Well, for those of you who know me pretty well…you know that I do not swear. About halfway through this swim I had absolutely nothing nice to say. Good thing no one can hear you when you talk while swimming.
