Weekend Roundup

What a weekend. A heroic Friday night venture to the Strip; a Tri Club engagement (Congrats, future Mrs. Nelson!); a great 12-mile run. Saw my parents, got some jeans that actually fit, ate some delicious cupcakes. Life is pretty good.

Except for former Tour de France winner cheater Floyd Landis, who has a warrant out for his arrest. The warrant will apparently only be served, however, if he goes to France. He'd be dumb to go there anyway, for two reasons:

1. His "team" will never get an invitation to compete in the Tour.
2. Everybody in France hates him. Why subject himself to the ridicule?

Landis was found by a French anti-doping lab to have hacked into test results and altered data, presumably in an effort to help his case and clear his name.

Irony: getting caught in a dishonest attempt to clear your name from allegations of cheating, thereby sullying your name even more. It's so beautiful.
