AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition to the TT on Sunday with DS2 I am doing a race simulation with my training group tomorrow. We will do a swim, shortened bike and shortened run, twice. Then go to Coach's house for pancakes

Yummy!!  Real maple syrup is a great supplement to those, and be sure to eat some bacon!

This will be my first Olympic, so I'm really looking forward to it.  I'd love to break the 2:30 mark, but we'll see how it goes.  The bike course is pretty hilly.  The 10k is pretty flat and is a double out and back.

Awesome! Great goal!  We'll be cheering for you!!!!!!!!

I signed up to bring fruit, maybe I should've said syrup because I'm a bit of a syrup snob. No fake stuff at my house! Also, Coach said he doesn't drink coffee and to bring our own. Which, of course, means a SBux stop, but I'm not sure I can continue to work with this man

Sooooo, last night I went hiking with my friends. It's something I try and do weekly. 

Anyhoo, we were going to these natural rock slides at the base of this waterfall. While my friends were changing I was walking along the riverbank taking photos. I was standing on this lonnnng flat slab of granite that had about a 30 degree slope into the swift river below. I looked around and noticed it was really wet. Just as I was thinking to myself, "Hmmm if I fell there would be nothing to grab onto and I would go straight into the river.."
 it happened. My feet flew out from under me, I landed on my rear and slid SO fast down on the rock and off the edge into the river, fully clothed. Yup. 

I was super lucky, it was actually really fun and I did it again to show my friends but OMG that could have been so bad! LOL

What in the.....

Oh dude, a girl I started running with at work is responsible for tasting espresso, tea and chocolate. That is all she does here. 

Oh and here I am on the mild, planned slide...just imagine the unplanned HAHA! 

In Yanti's log today is the term "Bless her heart".  I nearly shot water out of my nose.

WTF, I do that job daily and no one is paying me. How Do I Get That Job??????

Love that phrase.  It always seems like it's used in the context of "S/he does the best s/he can but utterly fails, bless her/his heart."

I'm still posting at 2am because Bless-Her-Heart decided it was time to get up and dressed and start clamoring around the kitchen for breakfast.

Of course, I start thinking about breakfast already around dinner time ...

She got a cookie and some sugary milky decaf tea and got sent back to bed.

I fully admit that while I'm on Mutti-watch (I posted this on FB) I'm pretty much letting us, errr I mean her eat whatever she wants, off disposable plates and cutlery. Seriously, that lady can get in a heap of trouble if you turn your back for ONE MINUTE to do the dishes.

Hm. Now who does this remind me of ...
