Happy Weekend

Today was sprint tri day at Race of Grace. It was a super, down-home, Mississippi church race with a small crowd but lots of fun.


Exhibit A: This is the finish line of the race in the church parking lot (picture taken the day before the race). I had to get a picture of the PVC pipe finish. The race packet consisted of a t-shirt and a bib number. That is it! It was really a cute atmosphere, though.

I made some progress today in the race. I felt some of my old strength return and just felt better overall about the direction I am heading. I haven't done a sprint in what seems like forever (and that is ALL I used to do), so it felt like an old friend.

Exhibit B: post race with Barbara "Diet Cola" Zoccola, Jeff "Skippy Cheeto" Skinner, and me (I do not have a nickname as of yet. I hope to inspire one soon. Go Thunder!

cha ching, cha ching, cha ching...! looks to me like 3 triathletes, 3 "shiny metal objects"...way to go! & What did I do today? 6 hours studying at school, 3+ more at home, and feeling my quads bad as I struggled up this 1/3 mile hill between law school and home on my heavy ole mtn. bike. And, just as I was wondering to myself, this BURNS--did I really do an ironman in 2001, in the mountains of Canada, some dude in his front yard near the top of the hill yells, GO! YOU CAN DO IT! LOL! It was ONE-THIRD of a mile and I was about to fall over! I just laughed and thanked him!
