Yanti & Salty Beyond Ridiculous Manatees PART 6--CLOSED (Page 45)

POST THE PICS!

CONGRATULATIONS, SALTY!

I'm off to go swim with mantas again.

This massive training load has left me with approximately 3 working brain cells. Maybe 2.

I really want to try that!  Haven't seen it here.  I did *finally* get the local brewery's pumpkin beer.  I've tried at like 4 restaurants and they were all out. When we went out for dinner (without baby!) the place had some left.  It was great.

I survived my run this morning. I was about 60-80 seconds slower than last year. I'm slightly bummed about that, but not totally. I felt stronger than last year, so the slow down surprised me a bit. It was gusty, windy . . . maybe that contributed to the slight slow down?

Honestly, I'm not too worried about it. I wanted to be five minutes faster than I was, but I can live with what I did.

I slept almost three hours this afternoon. I always nap crazy long after racing. I feel pretty good now. My left knee was bothering me right after the race, but it seems fine. We'll see how I feel in the morning. :-)

My mom, Ben, and Jayson all did the 2-mile. Ben finished in 19:2x. My mom and Jayson finished in about 38. They did a run/walk thing, mostly walking. Although, I guess Ben met them near the finish line and he and Jayson ran in together. Jayson loved that.

I survived, made it through 14+ miles of MUD and 35 obstacles in 30 mph wind (at times), intermittent rain, and overall coldness--and had an amazing time. I played with the Beast--and lived to tell about it!

Race report to come when I am coherent....might be awhile...

Yeah it's probably fair, surgery, young little one...it could be too much - how about putting it on your agenda for Sept/Oct - get his support and some help with the planning...always works if they feel involved.  Us athletes tend to be a little self absorbed!!

CHECK OUT MY NEW AVATAR.

TERENZO BOZZONE IS HAWT, and today we had a long chat - he is adorable, just oh so young.

Oh I have had the best weekend again - professional spectating and IM Ho is the way forward.

That's why I asked.  I think it IS fair, I just wish he'd told me instead of having to drag it out of him.

LUCKY GIRL!!  I just googled him....totally hawt.  

Italian KIWI.  The very best of everything. Siiiiiiigh ...

Grrrrrufff. Hmph.

Closed up a 26-hour training week. Woof. Whipped. Ready, creamy and sweet!

Went swimming with Monte and the mantas today. Transcendence beyond words. He and I spent most of the time off by ourselves (we went out on a dive boat with a small group), just swimming and swirling around these glorious angels-of-sea while they whirled around us and played tag with the tips of their wings.

Niiiiiiiccceee and lol to the guy on the left
