Colonic Contemplations (Worst Episode Ever!)

Wow. I got so caught up making my next show, I forgot to post a blog entry for this one. (Click here to listen) Everything in my medical procedure worked out fine, by the way. Podcasts are a slice of life, and you can tell how irritable I was getting at the end of this one because I was so hungry. Emily came home around 1 pm and saved me with lots of goodies I was allowed to eat. I've got a pretty good show in the works, so here's the link I promised you and I'm going to move on.

Conversations

This episode is extra phatty with chronic audio of all sorts of triathlon-related subjects. (Click here to listen) We have a rant from Cav about being a freak, audio from runs in Kingwood and Clear Lake Shores, TX (map pictured below), an interview with a NYC triathlete about S&S couplers for your bike, a rain-soaked attempt at GPSing a new 5k run course, a chat between Prof. Erich and I about lots of sports stuff, and probably something else I've forgotten already. It's an extra long show, but you've waited a long time and deserve it.

Cav has surpassed the $450 target, so now I'm leaving the button up just for listeners to support him as our sponsored racer, regardless of the event. I'll post the names and amounts of the latest donations soon, terrible nicknames free of charge.

Luke gets this show a full day before the rest of you poor saps because he won the Easter Egg contest, so he's probably out on his run, listening and laughing at the rest of you, laughing and running, running and laughing. He surely deserves whatever flack you send his way.

Floating Apples

Just checking in for those listeners wondering what's going down. Emily and I are spending the night on a boat in Galveston Bay tonight, recording a podcast as we run at locations around Houston. I think WiFi has become ubiquitous when you can pirate it in a marina. Maybe we should run up the Jolly Roger. Next show will also have audio from Australia and NYC. and probably some buddies and I setting up a 5k run course. Will most likely release it on Tuesday. News Flash: Looks like Apple will actually be making their own phone. I guess they'll take the lead on developing a truly usable all-in-one device.

Hell yeah, we should have a logo design contest. I had one a long time ago, but it never took off. Now we have a ton more listeners and some real demand. Any prize ideas?

Go Cav! Update

Ok, we're getting really close. $8 more bucks gives us the $450 for Cav to make it to Ironman Australia. To be honest, paypal takes a tiny percentage off the top, so any little bit extra covers the $25 or so bucks for transfer charges. Convenience costs! Either way, this has been a huge success and has amazed everybody involved. Here's the chart (Yes, I realize it's ugly as hell. We're cheap here at the Go Cav! foundation) and the names of the latest donors:

Drew "Starbuck" - Cav's next to last mile
Rippin' Roberto - support cav's ironman bid
Jeffery (AKA CAV the original flava AKA C-Unit AKA Dugan Fife) - Go Cav
"Totally Aero" Kevin - Cav down under

Cav, I'll send you the money when I get a few more minutes. Probably this weekend.

Andrea Fisher Interview Part 2

Prof. Erich and I conducted our second interview with professional triathlete Andrea Fisher this Sunday and you can get the audio here. It was a great conversation with a relaxed tone, allowing us to discuss all kinds of topics; from heart rate monitors to bike frame materials. We discussed triathlon and other hobbies for a total of 45 minutes!

I also mentioned that Garmin has just released the 305. If you were planning on buying the 201 or 301, better hold off and check the 305 out here.

Next show will include audio from a caller in NYC about a special bike adapter for traveling, Erich and I talking about our surf trip, and news of a possible second Zentri TV episode about Javelin bikes.

If you look hard enough, you might find the Easter Egg hidden in the show. You'll know when you find it. Make sure to post a comment and claim it first!
