Kona

The big event is this Saturday. There should be some television coverage of it if anyone is interested in really dorking out and watching people put themselves through complete misery. Sounds pretty exciting watching someone swim, bike and run for seven hours...

Can't wait!

Aquathons

I finished my third Aquathon last night. It was a pretty fun three race series that took place around 6:00 pm once a month for the last three months.

The swim went by pretty quick and easy for me last night. Although when I got out of the water I was pretty disoriented for some reason. My contacts were all over the place and my head was a little foggy. I started the three mile run with a pretty slow pace. For fear of coming in last (and it was an actual possibility) I picked up my pace and finished strong.



Felt good to be working out. My next race is a 1/2 marathon in Big Sur in exactly one month. I haven't ran over six miles in two months. Not sure if I will be able to get myself in shape. I am attempting an eight miler tomorrow morning. Hope things go as good as I plan.

Have a great weekend!

Wow...I missed a whole month

I have been working and playing too hard and didn't realize that I actually haven't posted anything since August. This is the first time I missed a month since I started this thing. Must be the rat race I take part in on a daily basis...but you know what they say...

"The trouble with a rat race is that even when you win, you're still a rat"

I felt like a rat this morning driving to work. All the other rats on the freeway chasing the metaphorical cheese and getting stuck in the metaphorical trap.

"I don't want the cheese, I just want to get out of the trap" ... okay maybe I do want the cheese ... but that may be what got me in the trap in the first place. :)

I have two events planned for next week and am looking forward to both of them. An aquathon on 10/11 and a sprint tri on 10/13. I hope to have my race schedule updated by the end of the day.

Once again...I will attempt to post more regularly on this site. B/c you have to remember that "rats are the first to desert a sinking ship"...and I can't have all the rats out there not paying attention to my sinking ship of a blog.
