    Thankfully, back on the bike today…

    I love insects! Free protein hit… don’t have to carry a cliffbar on the ride if you aim for enough of the gnat swarms… delish!

    Man, some bug either bit me or just flew into me really hard when I was running last night and left a bruise. I r a delicat fleur!

    Glad you’re back out there!

    I got a gnat in my mouth on the way home. Spat some of it out but had to fish out the main part with my fingers.

    The bugs, they tried to get in my mouth, but I’m not that kind of cyclist. They gotta buy me an espresso first!

    We should a bugs eaten thread. My alltime favorite, albeit disgusting at the time, moment was a moth and it was fluttering around. I almost crashed trying to cough it out then it popped out still flying. I felt like that guy on the Green Mile. Definitely the worst. I prefer the birds that crapped on me over that.

    I mentioned it before, but I got stung by a bee in the back of my throat during the run portion of my Ironman this summer!

    That is both awesome and horrible at the same time. More impressive is you kept going.

    Lighting bug goo made my teeth iridescent once. Also down for the count the past week or so with travel-induced, the-lady-on-the-plane-had-ebola cold. Looking forward to biking in the rest of the week to clear out the lungs. On the upside, discovered that my Calvin Klein TJ Maxx pants dry AMAZINGLY FAST.

    The following phrase should get you going through an impromptu bug snack. Just repeat it a few times:

    Doesn’t putting yourself to sleep make it harder to finish the ride?

    Yesterday I had a conference in Herndon so was commuting to and from using the W&OD. On my way home in the evening I noticed a lot of bug hitting me in the face.

    When I got home, showered, and was winding down for the night, my wife asked me if I was wearing makeup. She was convinced I had eyeliner or mascara flaking off. I looked in the mirror and it turned out that all the gnats that hit my eyeballs, got caught, and died, were falling out of my eyelashes.

    Neat huh?

    So, were you wearing makeup?
