Streak ends at 223 days!

It was a run for the ages but on Sunday May 3rd the longest standing streak came to an end. On day 15 the admiral posted his first meltdown...but on day 16 it all started again and for 223 days he had a few hickups but no major meltdowns. Sunday began with a great cardio swim...we did 20 lengths 3 minute break, 20 lengths and a 3 minute break and then 20 lengths. It was great...spirits seemed pretty good as we followed with a little hot tub time. We went for a little rest time before going and doing the 19k time trial loop on the bike. We arrived...everyone seemed to feel pretty good. Our speed was pretty quick as we picked off a few bikers early on...about the halfway point we noticed the admiral was back a bit...that's when kree took a drink and said "he'll catch up". So we kept pedaling away...pushing it pretty good so we could get an idea of what me might be able to do the ride in. So tdisckree and I finished and the admiral was not to far behind but when he arrived...the conversation quickly went x-rated. "I suck at biking" roared the admiral while throwing his bike onto the car bike rack. "let's go for a cool down ride" replied tdisckree. "No I'm done...I suck at changing gears"...the admiral roared back while throwing his helmet into the back seat. Finally we coached him back out of the car and onto the bike for a cool down. "give me a drink" the admiral barked at me just before we cooled down. If you want more about this topic...there was 2 people who showed up at the wrong time who could give u a few more quotes.
