Courtesty of Tsn.ca:
At a surprise diaper party for the admiral last night...Coach Tdisckree and Captain Tdiscgreggy were spotted having a tight lipped meeting with John Cusack over by the meatballs. A few minutes went by and then they called in the admiral and Tdiscpye. This usually means that there is about to be a vote. It is widely speculated that John Cusack has been voted into Tdisc. Job title and details of the deal to follow.

Flashback Friday!
At 4:52am this text came through..."Staying home sorry." It was from our big gun the admiral. When you're sending texts at that time of the morning....you're not working out. When the alarm went off I was quick to pull the plug on this mornings swim. I had a tough ed fitness class last night and a game of hockey at noon today. It's the off season...I felt like I could use the rest this morning. Our captain and coach also took the morning off but our prized rookie the bull decided to go work on his stroke.
As promised for the month of December, I will be having what is known as "Flashback Friday's." Well this week I've gone all the way back to January 30th/09. It was a Friday, the dog days were in full force...Tdisckree and I were quitting once a week. I was on a train going southbound. I had major soreness in a lot of areas. 3 days prior Tdisc laid the biggest single thumping on a teamate since Tdiscgreggy got left behind on the bike back in september of '08. That's when I finally said frig this and began to make the push for Fredericton. Tdiscgreggy was really feeling it at this point and just the day before had called out Spin class instructor Tdisct(w). The admiral was hampered with teeth problems and Tdisckree was ready to say "frig this" with tdisc. This was the end of an emotional roller coaster of a week...Enjoy!
Tdisc on edge leading into the weekend
I woke up this morning after having probably one of the best sleeps i've had in weeks. I left in great time giving me a chance to relax on the way in. As I was getting changed in the TTF lockerroom the other members of the big 4 came trickling in. I knew it wasn't good when Tdiscgreggy came in ahead of the admiral. Next thing ya know the admiral comes pacing through the doors...without saying hello he goes...."What". I knew we were in for a long one...but what I didn't know was that a meltdown in the pool was in store for a light friday workout.
Today we decided to add sprints to our half an hour jog. We'd sprint a half lap then jog...then sprint a lap...then jog. It was pretty tough but I felt like it was a good change. When we finished Tdisckree and I decided it was best we take 5 minutes and stretch...but Tdiscgreggy and the admiral decided to skip the stretch and head right to the pool.
when we were heading to the pool Tdisckree said "you watch...the admiral has a bad attitude and he's late...he'll be just pounding out the laps." Much to our surprise the admiral was perched up in what used to be known as Tdiscgreggy corner....friggin with his goggles. So we jumped in and started doing some drills. I felt good swimming today but i'll admit that I was a little thrown off having a person on each side of me wizzing by me like twice a lap. As I was taking a couple of breaths all I could hear was a loud vulger tirade coming out of Tdiscgreggy corner. It was the admiral...here is what I caught. "This is the last #&@%*$@ time I stop swimming for a week. I'm @#$&@$# brutal today." At 7:45 Tdiscadmiral exited the pool...hurling the pull buoy out into the middle of the aqua aerobics. Tdiscadmiral's swim today could easily be compared to the one back in October when Tdisckree was cutting him off at the spa. As for the rest of the team we had a pretty good swim. We got some great tips from a fellow triathlete Scott. By the way Tdisc thanks you for that Scott. We all exited the pool at around the same time with spirits pretty high....with lots of talk about this summers circuit.
Tommorow shapes up to be a good one. Tdisc may be looking to make another statement.
Till next time,
Tdiscpye

Early christmas gift
As we road the stationary bike it was suggested that we do a gift swap within the team. It was quickly shut down by the admiral(head of the budget). In a short statement the admiral said "no." It was then that the big gift came via our rookie. "I'm giving Tdisc 2 weeks of me being happy for christmas." Great gift from bull. I also gave out an early christmas gift. I'm going to give flashback friday's on blog. I will search through the blog archives and repost some of the greatest blogs of all time.
We had a great bike workout today with bull running us through an endurance set. We finished off the workout with a short weights workout. It's back to edfit tonight.
Just a reminder that there is only 9 days left to donate to the 1st annual Tdisc Santa Claus run.
Till next time,

The dog days!
I battled Bryan all last night....it's quite clear to me now that i've officially entered the dog days. I went to bed way too late and got up seeking some motivation to swim. For the first time in awhile I laid in bed and looked at the ceiling for a few minutes before getting up. Finally I rolled out of bed and threw on my trunks and left for the pool.
I entered the changing room to see the boys standing around waiting to go in for the swim. The admiral who was waiting impatiently finally got up and said "Time for those kids to get out of the pool" and stormed down the hallway. I entered a few minutes behind the rest...they were already going hard. I really battled it this morning...I often heard yells coming from the other lanes in the form of "get off the wall...get off the wall." I eventually settled into a rhythem and ripped off about 1200-1500m. We even through in a few scullie's at the end.
It's been a tough few days getting back into the routine from the weekend. I've been emotionally eating. Today I chocked on a pistacio shell and for some reason thought it would help if I ate a lot. Not the case...I just ended up sickening myself. My diet hasn't been that bad....I just need to get it fine tuned again.
Tomorrow we bike and do weights. Tomorrow night i'm back to ed fitness, followed by a swim friday morning. Should be a good end to the week.
Also, we are looking for an update from Central Canada. Katy Kat we haven't heard from you in awhile.
