I shaved my legs Sunday. I'd never done it. The larger surface area compared to my face is tedious, and the backs of my thighs are hard to be sure are done well. But the hair is much softer than my beard and seems much easier to shave. Related: triathlon number 4 for the summer is Sunday. I shaved my legs for the aerodynamic advantage, and yes I'm serious. The bike course is mostly pretty flat and I'm hoping to maintain some good speed. This race is Olympic distance of 1500 m swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run. It'll be my second Olympic but I think overall an easier course. I'm hoping to come in under three hours. I'm taking a rest day today. I really need it. I might call in sick Friday for a mental health day, maybe go hike somewhere local. I needed that earlier this week but had a bunch of meetings. I probably should have just called out of all of those.
