Weekend update:
I left my bike ("it's like a real bike! only smaller!") in Jack's hands. My parting thought was, "I'm going to wish I had put a 12/27 on there."
Friday, another 16 lengths at Barton Springs. Mentally, it went by much more quickly than Tuesday's. I practiced with a borrowed wetsuit. It chafed my neck (good to know ahead of time where to apply the body glide) and my hair kept getting caught in the velcro. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) deankat helped me figure out what to do about that.
Saturday, I drove to Pflugerville for a lovely 2 hour ride with cam_ray. I drove more than twice as far as we rode! Yummy wine and dinner organized by trichellee to celebrate the fact that cam_ray is joining the best age group. This was followed by more festivities to celebrate imzadi's birthday. Home at 1:20 a.m. and in bed by 1:30.
Sunday, alarm at 5:45. Ouch. I was "slumping" on the bench when Mr. Enstone arrived at Barton Springs for our run. 30 minutes easy, separated for our 24 minutes tempo because his is more upbeat than mine, regrouped for 30 minutes easy. I love when I get back to my starting point in EXACTLY the time I started. 1:24. Soaked in Barton Springs. Swim class was not on my schedule, which was a little disappointing as I will never obtain that elusive <5:00 if I don't get to do the end of session time trial. Also disappointing in that it's not clear that I earn a breakfast taco with a short run and no swim class. But we ate tacos nevertheless.
Called Dad to wish him a happy Father's Day. He wondered what the difference is between a triathlon and an Ironman.
Earlier in the week I had the obligatory pre-race melt-down, so I'm good to go. Except that my house runneth over with laundry.

I wonder when a 1hr 24min run became "a short run"? Must be a taper thing ... Or an Iron thing ...
I think I read that anything over 1hr is justification for a taco!
It isn't the exercise that makes you stronger, it's the recovery from the exercise.
It isn't the melt-down that makes you stronger, it's the recovery from the melt-down.
Anyway, it was a fun run again, thanks. Did I not mention that you needn't still be so formal, you can call me "Mark"?

It was lovely to see you, however briefly, Sunday morning! I'm glad you said hi, 'cause I was too busy concentrating on going up that hill to look around me.
When exactly are you headed up, and when are you comin' home?
If I was there, I would do your laundry for you :-)
Have your gingerbread socks?
Have fun and I'll be checking the results.
Love you, Mom |
