Where else do you spend your time online? I was just asking because I have 8 hours a day to kill with nothing to do. I signed up for a job that doesn't exist yet and I am waiting for it to materialize, so I sit here in the office all day doing thumb twiddling analysis, chair floatation management, and paint drying supervision. I'm not complaining because I am getting paid but I need something to do. Where do you guys spend your time?

I used to hang out on Corvetteforum.com and ls1tech.com but I gave all of that up with Tri's really being my main focus (other then the wifey.) I have several hours a day to kill where do reccomend?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Most of my non-trifuel, tri-related internetting is on the planet x forum. I tend to visit slowtwitch, but not for long usually. I read blogs of friends. Maybe check out the trifuel blogs?

I'm a big off-road driving fan so I'll go to cardomain.com and check out the other Jeep Wranglers splashing around in the mud. Besides that...bike manufacturers websites looking at the latest and greatest bikes, xterra planet forums, look for races around the country...

Thanks Kyillee for the slowtwitch idea. I'm gonna check that out.

And as a little disclaimer to Tribro I have whored you out a little man sorry. I do get on bikeforums.net and refer people over here from the Triathlon section on bike forums. We need some more people in here so when I hit refresh it's almost like a chat room :)...

I spend some time on bikeforums as well. Good site, some good people over there. And I've done my best as well to move some of them over to Trifuel.

I have a huge blogroll of triathlete bloggers, running bloggers and "other". You can see it on my blog (http://www.breakingthetape.com/21stcenturymom)

In the tri world, I like to read blogs, there's some great ones on the blog roll here at trifuel. Other than that, the only other forums I'm on are for unschooling which is a form of homeschooling, alternative parenting and environmental sustainability (probably not much help to you there!).

When it's too windy out to bike or it's an off day I do this:

The thread - Most sexy kite picture - is fun.

Maybe we should start a thread on trifuel - Most sexy tri picture :)

I was in the same boat as you for awhile. A few favorites are trifuel, cycling forums, college humor & facebook(I don't think you wanna surf the first at work and the second is more a college thing).

Time and time again though, even my favorite sites get old. But there is one site where only my imagination is the limit.

Wikipedia!

Learn more than you ever wanted to know, but I'm a trivia junkie. You could even become and editor if you were so inclined. I can't tell you the countless hours I've spent reading about whatever little thing popped into my head.

Trifuel. Slowtwitch.
Other than that...I ramble around on political web sites...hard not to here in the DC area.. the more Long haired, hippie, tree huggin', left winging, America lovin'...the better.

I am a fantasy sports nerd, so I start each morning on yahoo setting lineups and such. By the way pitchers and catchers reported this week, spring is on its way.

I am totally a fanatasy dork when it comes to football season. I have done pretty well at it (1st, 2nd and 3rd and this is only my second year trying) but it's because I spend 1-2 hours each day during the season.
