My sister-in-law that came up to do the half marathon mentioned she is thinking about doing a tri next year and wanting to get a road bike.  So after the race yesterday we hit up a few bike shops to get an idea of size, price, etc so she would know what to look for/ask about when she's shopping at home or on Craigslist.  Anyway - we're at the Specialized dealer, she's test riding a Dolce and I notice my wife looking at one too.  I give her a quizical look and she says "I want this one" - this was the highlight of my weekend. 

So come spring, looks like we'll be bike shopping and I may have a new riding partner.

For all who are interested................  My RR:

Hey everyone - congrats to the half finishers this weekend - be it IM or marathons!  I came down with the cruddy cough and ended up not doing my sprint on Sunday - couldn't breath deep without coughing - probably could have HTFU'ed on the run and bike, but the swim wasn't going to work out with breathing issues.  Anyway spent the day mostly crashed out on the couch.  Still not sure if it was the same thing the rest of the family had or if it was some allergy reaction to the hay that I helped spread on the pumpkin patch at the church on Sat...  Anyhow - still have the olympic to get ready for in two weeks!  Gotta try to run in the morning! I will catch up on all the RR's tomorrow! 

Suzy - so sorry to hear about the accident - we all do stupid stuff when we are young - some of us are just luckier to get through it without major life consequences!  Those types of stories really freak me out a as a parent though - you can do everything right and things can still go horribly wrong for your kid(s)...

Steve - nice blisters - were you wearing two pairs of socks?

John - great pic of the 'dillo...  Don't see many of them that thick up here..  usually they are much thinner and adorn the public roadways...  I assume that is June in the background - too cute!

 Jeremy - you need to lay off the man-tini's on Monday - JK - this MG is just like family to me!  I ain't skeered to hug another man...

I'm in for the group hug. It's funny we are talking about that now. I just got togethr with Tracy and her hubby Doug for dinner last night. Only 900 miles and $50.00 in gas for a personal hug.  It was worth it. She's such a hottie  

Our whole visit consisted of tri talk and how good everyone has been doing. Congratulations to all the racers on the weekend. Sounds like everyone did fantastic.

Question for the group!!!!!

I am thinking about putting together a book about triathlons and would like your permission to use your stories , quotes or quips if I ever get it done.  Of courses any thing used would receive full recognition. Such as Tracy's. I learned how to blow snot rockets and spit. mY own falling off a stationary bike and of course our sharing of all the sordid details of personal life

Now it time to wake up my wife and head to the beach.. Everyone have a great day at work hee hee hee
