I am getting ready for my next event, the Austin Tri Olympic. Last year this was my 'A' race and this year it's just another brick in the road leading to Longhorn 70.3. This past weekend was my longest weekend of training yet, I rode 70 miles on Saturday and ran 11 miles on Sunday. It was supposed to be 75 and 15, but sometimes your body just doesn't cooperate. All this training just makes you tired. I want to get to the point where I feel stronger! Not happening.
I cancelled my trip to AZ to see my best girlfriends and then watch my teammates race in the IMAZ. It was a fairness/money thing. If Trainer and I only get one trip this year (which has been decided) we should really do it together. So we found a week that works for both of us, Thanksgiving weekend, and made plans to go out of town. A nice, cheap trip that lands us on a beach and gives us some much needed time away from here - together. I guess I was being selfish, not really considering that he hasn't gotten away at all since our trip last year in October. I mean, why wouldn't he want to get away too right? So there you have it.
The pups are good, just trying to survive the summer like the rest of us in the blasted nasty humid really gross Texas heat. It wasn't too bad until the temps reached over 100 degrees with 91% humidity. Can't breathe....which makes it hard to do many other things...like train for a triathlon!!
Well, that's all for now. I'll come up with something witty this weekend I'm sure and I'll try to get it down so you have something entertaining to read! I hope I haven't lost all of my readers. Peace to everyone!

Ya know, if you keep this up (the whole riding more miles all the stinkin' time thing), before too long you'll just be able to ride all the way here.
And that? Would be awesome.
Because really? I kinda sorta would love to have you here in May. Around the 27th to be exact. 'Cuz if we had done the whole godparent thing, you're godson would be graduating from high school that night. :)
Um...I want to read about your life!!! I can't get over the 70 mile ride. I mean really, I'm blown away.
Where are you and T going? A Texas beach? I love Port A. The last time I was there, I went with some people who knew about this beach called Tortuga Bay. It was so nice and uncrowded! I guess nothing is really that crowded in October.
Yay! That's all I got...just Yay! I missed you.
