Triathlon Cave Tour

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

I mentioned a while back that Sam and I were moving to a new apartment and I got to take over a whole room to turn into my own tri cave. After a few weeks of organizing and decorating, I think I’m just about done and ready for the great unveiling!

I’ve got my own special place to do a lot of my training through the winter, stink up the room, throw my gear in big piles and collect my race numbers all over the walls. I think I could get used to this. I’m not sure how I got by without it. I’ve got a medicine ball, balance ball and pullup bar that I’ll break out once I get full swing back into base training next month.

Am I missing anything here? Anything that you guys think I need to make room for?

Designing My Triathlon Cave

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I love triathlon ecause of how complex it is and it always keeps me looking to improve, but with that complexity, comes a LOT of random gear. A lot of gear that my non-triathlete girlfriend has to hurdle over our constantly in our tiny apartment.

But there is good news!

We just signed a lease at a MUCH bigger apartment about a mile away. There is a nice little yard for a garden and some BBQing, but most importantly Sam has agreed to give me my own room to store both my bikes, trainer and other random gear. That is right, my very own man/tri cave!

I already bought a sweet new leather couch and an antique trunk circa 1900, but I need your help internet people. Help me out to plan out my tri cave!

I’ve already got the couch, my signed Lance jersey and some uber-manly storage, and am planning on having a corner for my yoga mat and a bike permanently set up on the trainer but what else do I need?

A TV and DVD player for spinnervals?
Mini-fridge filled with gatorate, Infinit and recovery drinks? (Soy milk and beer, depending on how hard the workout was.)
A wall covered in race numbers?

Help me out Internet people. What am I missing here?
