I am very new to blogging and have kind of been injured since I started, so sometimes I feel like I never actually blog about triathlon. I think it's interesting to read a mix about people - I enjoy stuff about their workouts, but also about them personally. I hope you bloggers block passes soon since I just started following :)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584071206419891364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272746327697367079.post-42335514743004775772011-03-12T21:07:00.811-05:002011-03-12T21:07:00.811-05:00i think we all started as workouts/numbers posters...i think we all started as workouts/numbers posters and then started rambling about other things... like someone else commented - the numbers part is often kinda boring!

Take pictures and write captions. not just self pictures, but pics of interesting things around, people you ride/run/swim with, people you see, things you ride past.

Weekly ramblings is a collection of interesting stuff I noticed through out the week, thats something you can do. <br /><br />I will admit, I am like Regina, not a numbers guy, I never blog about numbers (I am slow, I know I am slow) I have all my numbers in my training log, use it to revieew my training, just dont post them, only number that I care about the 16:59:59, the time allowed to get to the promise land. Maybe forget about the numbers for awhile<br /><br />I thought of somethings that you might like<br />- I call you the professor, you call yourself a nerd (actually the professor name has caught on, I was on the phone with another blogger and someone referred to you as the professor) anyways, since you like since experiments, you can do something along the line of a weekly or bi weekly "myth busters" post on endurance related activities, you already have done it with race wheels and yougurt<br /><br />- Also, take a camera with you on eveery single training ride or run you do, take a pic of the "weird and unsual" things you find on the side of the road, save them up and make post out of them <br /><br />- You do have some good rants that make me think (not easy for me to do, but you have done it) <br /><br />Anyways, antoher round table discussion that could go on for hours, I see alot of good ideas from others, I hope you find something to blog aboutBig Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272746327697367079.post-7004041682270878972011-03-11T09:17:31.502-05:002011-03-11T09:17:31.502-05:00I like Shelly's comment...I love to know that ...I like Shelly's comment...I love to know that triathletes have other interests other than swimming, biking and running.

I ...I totally understand where you are coming from. I can't write that much about the training b/c frankly, i find it boring. Love doing it but don't love reading about it that much. That's why I take a lot of pictures, while I'm training, when i can. I find things around me to write about and then indirectly write a small blurb about the training to kinda tie it in...a hybrid kind of blog if you will. It's your blog, so you can drive it in whatever direction makes you happy. I'll still follow and read regardless of what subject you post about. That's my $0.02. Have a great weekend.

Still might do that. Change the blog name to Dangle the Derailleur. Or go into the big bike shops and take pics. That would be awesome too. If you do this though me, BDD, and Kevin would be your only readers but it would be freaking awesome.<br /><br />Or you could just write about random stuff. Anytime I get fired up about something I'll just vent - politics, poor service, crappy products ... nothing is off limits. This is your piece of the internet write about whatever the heck you want.
