2009 Triangle Triathlon

I competed in the triangle triathlon for the 2nd year in a row. This year the location was "upgraded"to the local lake next to the nuclear power plant. The lake was warm, as expected, and I might even grow a third nipple after being in the lake used as cooling water for the nuclear power plant!

the swim was competitive! The water was choppy and there was a strong current. Othwise I had a good swim, and apparently so did everyone else in my wave, darn it!

Having a little fun as I come out of transition and start the bike ride. It was a great course so pretty and great rolling hills!

Okay my transitions still completely suck! I swear I spent at least 45 second tying my darn shoes! Trav took a picture of me tying my shoes!

the run was hilly and hot... and on GRAVEL! I was not prepared for that at all, but managed through it, with a run PR of 26 minutes
I ran a good race - my personal record and never felt stronger. I definitely earned an afternoon nap and a few adult beverages, which I got later that day!

Jason's 1st Day of Kindergarten

Jason grew up this morning! Well actually he had been growing up for the last 5+ years but I refused to aknowledge this fact until this morning, when he got onto the "big yellow" by himself. I must admit I had a momemt of anxiety and some tears! I also had to resist every bone in my body that urged me to hop in the car, and follow the bust to ensure he makes it to school! But alas, I didn't follow the bus and my son has taken his first bus ride by himself! I am so proud, and so sad that my baby is no longer my baby!

Jaosn did got to kindergarten for a "practise day" last week. He LOVED it and was so excited to go today. He claimed the best part of his new school is that nap time if very short! He also loves buying his lunch! He even bought lima beans for himself!
