The Secret Weapon

I have my first race tomorrow since mid-April, and I'm busting out the secret weapon. My friend Grant is letting me use his aero helmet (He's the best!). It's sleek, it's fast, and, it's really, really funny looking. It creates four times less drag than a regular helmet, so that you save around a minute over the bike course. (So they say. I'm starting to think you go faster, just because you don't want everyone seeing how goofy lookin' you are.)

So, the newest bathroom renovation was recently unveiled at BYU. I wouldn't be writing about it here if it wasn't AMAZING! In addition to some nice new tile, everything is motion sensed. Toilets, sinks, soap dispenser, paper towel dispenser, toilet paper dispensers. But, it doesn't end there. There are two features that make this pretty much the coolest bathroom on the planet. The first is the urinals with Falcon Waterfree Technology. The second is the Dyson Airblade hand dryer. Check 'em out. If you're like me, you'll be wanting this stuff for your own place.

Easiest 30 Bucks I've Ever Made

Today I finished a study with the exercise science department, and made an easy $30. All I had to do was go in twice, a week apart and ride two different bikes 40km. I just show up, get my leg shaved by some grad student named Ruth, get several electrodes and reflector balls taped up to me, a few cameras are pointed at me, and off I go on their fancy trainer with a fun virtual course ahead of me on some computer screen. I've decided I like getting paid for the things that I would be doing anyways.
