Head down the stairs in Crif Dogs. Walk into the telephone booth. Press the button, and cross your fingers they let you in
Don't be startled when the bouncer asks "Can I help you?" it's all part of the Schtick.
Crif Dogs serves the best hot dogs in the city, or at least you'll swear they are after a night of drinking. And if you're in the E. Village and in a suitable frame of mind the stoner special hot dog assortment is available for delivery late into the night.
Reservations are day of only and after 2pm. You'll probably want to make them.

I'll explain everything on thursday... it's well detailed ;0)

i dont really know how i feel about this yet, but either way, this poor guy gets absolutely creamed. That's what I would call "putting your shoulder into it"

try to find one more awkward that this.......

congrats man(men) you guys are going to be professinal tri athletes soon.

im down to do a relay....but i must tell you....i ran a 5k the other day on the treadmill....ran like 21:00.....i am sure i can run faster. give me a few weeks..i can run 18:00. dont know if that is fast enough though....you got to get me a big lead.

sidenote...the nyc half marathon was tight. those guys are insane....13.1 miles in 1:00:20 is craaazy. last year the guy won in 59:45. wow.

sidenote2: mike, dont know about chicago this weekend. but i could be up for boston. since im going to portugal next friday i cant take any other days off and we would have to take friday off to go to chitown.

Work makes me feel dehabilitated.

Hey fellas.
Everything this weekend went really well. The triathlon was sick. Crazy, crazy lightning and thunder early in the morning, but everything cleared up for the race. Ended up finishing 10th and 17th in the race overall, and coming in 1st and 3rd in our age group. There were over 450 competitors. Madness. Tons of fun though.



Boston vs. NYC Triathlon Relay
So we've decided to have the first annual Boston vs. NYC triathlon relay. Jon, we need you to step up and do the run for us. My brother will be handling the cycling. Steve and I are searching for a good triathlon to do this. The teams will be.....

Event - Boston:NYC
Swim(0.5mi) - Steve:Mike
Bike(12mi) - Meghan:Steven
Run(5k) - Gifford: Jonathan



This weekend
Trying to get a hold of what's going on for this upcoming weekend. Need to make some plans. At this point I am contemplating a vacation day on Friday and a roadtrip to Chicago on Thursday afternoon. Takes 12 hours to drive there from NY. I'm open to any suggestions.

or... possibly a Boston trip????

yo whats going on...happy monday.

steve, mike....howd the tri go? beautiful weather for sure.

chris...you back? how was vegas? i want to hear some stories.

http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/?

did i post this already? hmmm...mike you want to do this? looks cool. 10K Nike race.......let me know...i already signed up

Jon - You should get this bike for the 55 mile ride.

Pros
- can use hands and feet to pedal so you can't possibly get tired.
- you get to wear a sweet wetsuit regardless of that fact that you are not using this as a submarine.
- the inventor claims she can do 50 mph. that means you'll be done in a measly little hour while all the others are still at mile 16.
- you can just run over shit. People, trash, little yappy dogs and kids

Cons
- there are non. this thing suits your ugly ass perfectly.


HAPPY RIDING!!

NYC Bike Tour

Jon - I totally forgot about this. Why don't you grab Marlene's bike from the Hamptons this weekend and we can spruce it up. That will definitely do the trick for the bike tour and you can save a boatload of $$$$$. Is nora going to join us again?

Chris - i got a mountain bike with your name on it. sign up for that bike tour.

Tom - sign your ass up. and sign up the Mrs too.




I just signed up for the 55 miler. It's going to be tiiiiight.

Speaking of Blending......

Chris and Steve, this one is for you.
Chris - This one does blend in. In fact, it blends better than most. Sorry, no fat chicks though..... they are pretty funny.

Steve - This should make you happy thinking to yourself, "I hate 3G and those fucking, yuppie-douchebags who think their stupid new iPhone is any better than my original exploration into technological glory. Fuck them, and fuck their incessant love of American over-indulgence. Go eat a double-cheeseburger with your new iPhone..... fatty."

UPDATE: I totally forgot steve can't watch Youtube at work. So, steve..... this, in fact, is not for you. (until i find it on break.com) I FOUND IT. ENJOY.

Kissena Velodrome

Gentlemen,

On thursday, I would like to take a trip to Kissena Park Velodrome in Queens. Every thursday night they have a racing series on the Velodrome. It's open to anyone who wants to race. I do NOT want to race, but I would like to watch.

It looks so intense. Imagine racing a bicycle on the Armory track. All the turns are banked and none of the bikes have any breaking systems. Pure, unadulterated terror. I fucking love it already.

The only question is, now, getting there. Oh, and is the weather going to be good?

http://kissena.info/track/

sooooo......slow daY. WHATS everyone up to? anything going on this week? weekend? anyone have plans? want to make plans?

That Blending In poster below is really sad LMFAO
Happy Muhfggn Monday Ya'lls!!

steve...youre def. not that busy at work.....get your ass in gear and post something on here

I'll take Diet-High Octane, please.

Demotivational Poster (updated)

Bicycle Shops are EXPENSIVE

If you are looking to get yourself into a 'real' bicycle that isn't from K-Mart, than go to

http://www.bikesdirect.com/

I took a couple months of searching and worrying and searching and worrying to find our that this place was the best deal for the price. Pretty solid equipment for reasonable (comparitvely). The bikes are not Treks or Cannondales, but the price is fucking spectacular and usually the components are pretty good. I told the guy in the bike shop about the deal I found on this site, and he told me that I'd be stupid not to get my bike from the website.

Above, is the entry model: $369
Did I mention free shipping???

Just as an idea.... I walked into a couple (7 to be exact) bike shops and asked what the starter model would be in my size. The cheapest I could find was $900. Fuck that. You can get a decent road bike on that website for $350 - $400. "Sora" are the worst components and "DuraAce" are the best. I'm pretty sure that mine are Ultegra/105 mix. Customer service was SICK and the bike came really quick.

I could be down for either the 35mi or the 55mi.... or more. You know me, I'm down for a little punishment.

UPDATE: I just saw the map. We should do the 55 mi loop. THis way we get a good ride through Brooklyn. The Bronx and Queens I could do without, but Brooklyn will be where it's at.

Jon, the NYC duathlon is Oct 5th in Central Park. Most likely Steve and myself will be doing it. Just FYI.

Thanks Mike! Hey Jon, where do I sign up for the bike tour? That Urbanathlon looks AAWESOME!! It's a MUST.

yo mike........

1. i am going to sign up for the bike tour...what distance do you guys want to do? i say 35 --but i would be open to 55 if you guys want.....i say we crash at noras cause the start is in central park so we would be right there....we would finish early and then partay in the park for a while....lets just decide what distance we want to do.

2. http://www.menshealthurbanathlon.com/course.cfm
anyone want to do this? i may do it...but if anyone wants to do it with me let me know.....

3. like i said before, i may purchase a bike...if i do a few races a year, i wouldnt mike spending some money on a bike, but don want to spend a lot. where should i look?

BIKE TOUR PART II????

yo do you guys want to do a nyc bike tour part 2?

september 7, sunday. nyc century bike tour.

they have 15, 35, 55, 75, and 100 mile distances.

starts in central park...there is a festival in central park after...55 mile starts at 7 and the 35 starts and 730...i say we can do it, get there early, get in the front, and finish by 12 or something.......

im down to do 35, maybe 55...but def not 75 or 100 right now.....the route is cool...don't have to go into Staten ISland, mostly stay in NYC, brooklyn, and queens....what do you guys think?

Currency Exchange Rate

ahh, you mean Yen right?
8,000 yen is like $500?




I can't really tell whether or not that is soft-spoken sarcasm or crazed delusion. Either way, that would be the trip of a lifetime. PLus, we wouldn't really have to stay in a hotel. Meredith and Smott are there on Study Abroads. We could Shanghai the ancient warriors with some other Americanos.

How do you say 'General Tsao's Chicken' in mandarin?

Anyone want to go to Beijing for the olympics? It looks pretty cheap.

I was thinking of going out for about 2 weeks. Tickets to events aren't bad at all.
Flight, stay, and extras would fall about 8,000 to 10,000.

Who's in? Don't make me go by myself.

I want to learn to do a backflip..... well, now I do.

hahahahahaha sucks to be you

HOORAY!

HOORAY #1 : Happy Birthday JJ. You may only be turning a year older, but you are still such a young, free spirit. So youthful and care-free. Think of all the things this year has brought to you. You now have the ability to sue the shit out of someone. You also have the ability to say "As your attorney, I advise you to......". Amazing. You are wonderful. Rejoice in your aged wisdom.

HOORAY #2: Jon's camera is working! Phew, thank god. But seriously, bring that bad-larry next time and we'll pop the screen off and give it a cleaning with a soft chamois. It will be back in action in no time flat. Just as good as pre-submerged new.

Have no Fear, my camera works...its a little hazy in terms of the screen and whatnot, but it works, and i have some photos from the evening as well....life is good.

weiner?

Who do i send the trophy to?

Happy birfday JJ, jesus loves you.

JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRFDAY MY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike - You always manage to fuck up other people shit. Whether it be their phone, laptop, or camera. Ayyyy.

This would be a perfect weekend for you fuckers to come up. COME COME COME!!

Highlight......having a fun time with everyone....fireworks....hitting people with fireworks. jumping into pool, although i f'd up my phone..always fun....camping in the pooring rain.....roasting a pig...delicious....roasting by the fire with wacked out kids from california who drink stella ARTOIS......dude.

so.....whos down?

Lowlight of the 4th? Throwing Jon into the pool with his camera in his pocket. Thank you... Thank you......

The following is a play-by-play on the circumstances surrounding said event:

Mike: Hey, let's toss Jon in the pool.
Chris: Ok, you get his legs.
Mike: Ok.
[Mike and Chris creep up behind Jon, poolside, and grab him]
Jon: My phone! My phone! My phone is in my pocket!
[Chris and Mike hold tight, but wait for said phone to be removed (or so I thought)]
[Mike throws Jon into pool]
Jon: I reached into my pocket and my phone wasn't there, but as soon as I hit the water, I felt my camera.


Mike: Fuck.

ROADTRIP?!?!

Yo whats up guys...mike where are youuuu? you said you were going to be here this morning....anywho, fun 4th of July. we have to go get some mroe fireworks...bigger and better next year....

so steve you going to be around this weekend? and by 'around' i mean....at your house in boston....perhaps if people are interested we can visit you....if you would have us of course.....

UMMMMMM??????????DUDE?

God Bless America

while you guys go for gross disgusting photos, i enjoy this one.....where can i get a sweater like that.

hottttttttttttttttttttttt

grandma likey

also the woman second from the right in steve pic looks like tom petty.....just a thought

HERE IS MY REAL ENTRY!



Woman on the right needs to cover up that gross ass.
Woman on the left only got 1/3rd of the memo.
All white trash.

Alright kids. Office is closing at 2. Looks like ill be leaving right about......NOW.

how about a little of this for red, white, and blue.



HELL YES!

im all for spending some time at the track. I dont think i can go sub 5:10. sub 6 would be awesome. After only 5 mths of training for a kid who never thought he could run long distance. not shabby. not sure if you looked at the tri blog mikey, but I ran 10.45 ( 5 miles longer than my longest to date) in 1:18. thats a 7:49 split time. Not too shabby ey.

no spacs for me fellas. headed to the hamptons early morning. im going to try and get out of the office in like an hour. by 2:30. so if i get home early enough, maybe a drink somewhere. yupper. ill be in touch.

steve, lets run a mile......i ran 6:45 on a treadmill the other day. my PR is 5:05 in a workout....wish i could have gone sub 5.

mike....how about we say 12:30......12:30!!!! please. so we can get there early and get our partay on. i am not sure who is coming with us...maybe chris. nora is coming...jose, nick, val, nick, mike, mike...etc/ etc.....a bunch of guys should be there...

picture day

sorry, got tied up with some stuff this morning, how about this week's photo hunt topic............


Let's do something nice for the holiday....

"Red, White, and Blue"

I will leave everything up to your imagination...what ever wild and zany photo you can find of a chic in a flag bikini or crazy granny decked out in July 4th gear, you name it!

Rabbits

I think we should rabbit Steve in the mile. Let's take bets at how fast he can run it.
At this stage in the game, he is definitely going sub 5:10. The Hicksville track is freshly surfaced... and Mitchell field is like a wind-tunnel.

Steve - get your race spikes out.



How about 12:45 - 1:00? Who else is coming to Spacs with us?

1. MIKE----lets do this...how about we set a 12:00 time to leave tomorrow?????I'll give you 12:15 how about that???????????
2. Chris??????COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Steve you down to go to spacs? or you going to the beach 1st thing?
4. Mike lets get our spikes on and go to mitchel field and run some 200's or something....good ol times....well, not so good....cause it hurt a lot. but it was fun to race.

that shit is crazy. i can't beleive those dudes are running that fast.

The only thing I had planned today was to take the sailboat out after work. We have an early dismissal at 2pm. However, since i woke up with a raging sore throat and the essence of Influenza, I might be taking a pass to rest. I think its just allergies though.

As far as tomorrow goes, I'm still down to head out to Spacs place. When are we planning on leaving? Hopefully not before 12:00 or 1:00? I'm supposed to be taking out Pa-dukes on the sailboat on Friday morning. just let me know.




This race stands out in my mind. Our junior year of HS, Alan Webb was a senior (i think) and he broke the record for fastest HS mile of all time. Jim Ryun held the record for something like 27 years, i think. He raced the Prefontaine classic against professional runners. Crazy little dude.

I hope you guys have been watching the olympic trials. Some sick stuff going down including the oregon sweep in the 800.
All this racing is making me want to know what my times in these events would be. Will be hitting the track next week to try the 800, 400, 200, and 100. Should be slow as fuck.
Ill be back around the reg time. Will give you a call if im not too tired to go out. You've got plans yet?

http://www.ktvb.com/video/index.html?nvid=259399

mike this is for you...its a track race video............

yo guys.........steve what time you coming down today???

MIKE you coming tomorrow?

CHRIS?????? how aboout you? havent seen you in forever


TOM pick a photo category.........GO

yo

Why do people think shit like this will be successful? The human race is so fucking stupid.
If you pay close attention, you can actually hear someone laughing in the background. That would have been me. And I would have followed that up by kicking the kid in his left thyroid.

Brought the motorbike to work today. Nice day with no rain.
I went to the mall at lunch and guess what happens on my way back to work. The biggest down pour ive seen in my life. hit every light. ended up blowing the last one cause i stopped giving a shit. hit 6 huge puddles and got splashed 3 times by cars in the oncoming lane. At least I'll be nice and cool for the rest of the afternoon.

Fuckin A.

I'll be home Thur. night.
