Smelling like Sweat...

I was at Blockbuster last night and some young girls walked by me and I think I overheard one of them say they smelt sweat. Now I'm a very clean person and I shower everyday, but I realized I had my Ironman hat on and I work out with it and it has gotten sweating and I haven't washed it in a while, maybe I did smell like sweat. Today we went out and I was wearing the same hat and very self conscious, I kept asking Alice if I smelt like sweat. My training schedule had a 2.5 hour bike ride. I like biking but I wasn't looking forward to the ride. I put it off and spent the day driving around with Alice, checking out Tattoo shops, doing the open house thing and visiting a $2.5 million dollar home (to see how the rich live), and getting a speeding ticket. When we got home, JB called, we caught up and we ordered pizza. The family decided they didn't want our regular Sunday night steak. After eating 5 pieces of motivational pizza (I now needed to burn it off), I got on the bike and did my ride at 7:30 pm. I set up the laptop, surfed the web, watched YouTube and TV. The first time I looked at my watch it was 90 minutes and it felt like 2 hours. I really had to mentally struggle to get that last hour in. I find that the training is harder mentally and physically than the Ironman if you put in the mileage. Reid came down near the end and said the basement smelled like sweat. I asked him what he meant and he said it smelt like his hockey locker room. Now I'm really self conscious.
