Kids LOVED it! And T said we have to do it once a month. That's great! I think you need to get one of those burkinis for your daughter Then how would she show off her belly button ring and lower back tattoo?

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by blueyedbikergirl Originally posted by melbo55 Monica, how did you do? Welllll... Unfortunately I tweaked my back on Saturday swapping out the wheels on my bike which left me lying flat on my back on the floor and cursing up a storm to the point the cats were hiding under the bed scared at whatever angry demon had possessed my vocabulary. I decided (probably unwisely, but no one's ever accused me of being wise) that we'd go to the race anyways and see what race-day brought as we'd already registered, paid for the hotel room and the rental car. Race morning comes and I had 5 Aleve to try and get the pain to subside... which didn't quite work. It wasn't quite the day I had hoped for... every pull with my right arm during the swim was agony, which meant I didn't rotate very well and ended up drinking a LOT of icky lake water, and aero was a miserable place to be. HOWEVER, it was a gorgeous (if ridiculously windy) day, I finished with a smile on my face & I was super stoked to see that I had run just over 9 minute miles for the run! There will be no working out today. Hmm, the first bolded section suggests that Ben was not referring to your sunny disposition when discussing how you match your hair color! The second bolded section, however, does support that proposition or maybe (since who would be smiling after all that) reinforces the other proposition. It's a puzzlement Still, I'm sorry about your back! Good luck with your 125th interview and knock Janyne dead! I'm a conundrum wrapped in an enigma... or I just like to confuse people?? The 125th interview *I think* went really well.. and the guy is a triathlete who just did IMTX this year, so we spent the first 1/2 of the interview talking about tri training and where the best spots are in Austin for getting in a hilly bike ride, etc. Oh, and we also talked a tad about work stuff too. Fingers crossed that this will be IT for interviews and I'll get some sort of an offer either today or tomorrow... WOOT! Also, Tony will be going to Austin for one interview at the end of June (and hopefully finding us an apartment to live in so that I'm not homeless when I get there), and then he has been asked to go to St. Louis for another interview with a different company for July 1st. Man, I really hope this all comes together! Eeeeek! |

Ack, there's me running my mouth thinking everyone knows what the heck I'm talking about when really it's all in my head. Maybe it really is fitting that I'm a blonde? The interview in St. Louis would still be for an Austin position, it's just their head office is in St. L. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Holy dayum. For those of you playing at home, I now have interview number SEVEN set up for Wednesday morning. That's right, folks... Interview.Number.SEVEN. And they have some testing that they want me to do before then, so... that's fun. Holy crap, this is getting to be just a tad ridiculous - but I want Jonathan to know that I did mention him in my conversation with the attorney today when we were chatting about IMTX! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by melbo55 Great job out there, racing and practicing-to-be-racing manatees! Ben rocked his AG and race (I cannot even fathom being 5th OA in a race, just wow), Judi PRed her swim, Randee had a solid race (TT swim starts are sooo nice!) and Kirsten battled some nasty, nasty winds but persevered and got 'er done. We manatees are a tough lot! I ran a 21:36. Good enough for 6th place overall, and 1st place in the 30-39 age group! I was so pumped to place that high! When they were handing out the age group awards I thought maybe I'd get 3rd. When they called 2nd and 3rd, and it wasn't me, I was bummed. I was really surprised to take 1st! It's also technically a PR. So it was a great day all in all. Finished the race and then rolled out with some friends for a 20 mi bike ride. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well, finally got back on track again after the 3 peaks weekend. We managed to raise a nice £2275 (just shy of $4k) for the local Childrens Hospices. Out of the 20 walkers, 9 completed all 3 within 24 hours, 2 fell outside 24 hours and the rest either managed 1 or 2 mountains. It was very eventful, and sleep deprived driving was "interesting" , but all done, no one injured/died/etc so its all good! Thanks for the inspires guys ![]() In Other news, several of the walkers from the 3 peaks are deciding to do a 50 mile bike ride from London to Cambridge as a follow up.... and trying to get me involved. I've done it before (3h59) but I was actually fit then ... gives me a goal to work for but it is only 6 weeks away. Should I do it? Edited by SteveyD 2014-06-17 2:51 AM |
