Nibbs XXI (Page 65)

I already have the DVR set to tape.... there will be NO internet for me until IVe watched tomorrow if it comes to that...

This will be the first time in YEARS that Ive missed a live stage watching... shocking! Really hope I find a way but its not looking promising

Hi Nibbs - just woke up and Im hungry... going to grab a snack before heading back to bed to catch up on some more sleep...

What an exciting day I have planned!

Don't you have tour replays to watch? I am SO watching this one again. For the third time.

Just finished my 5k. and

Ate way too much sushi and have a wild Friday night planned. Monk and Psych are all shiny and new!

I have two weeks worth of highlights to watch but I need sleep.... I started reading the 5k race reports from today and wish I had the stamina to visit every single one...

Since i think Im giving up my bed and sleeping on the couch tonight Im now heading BACK to bed to try and get some more sleep..

The more I catch up on over the weekend... the better state I will be in at work this week!

Rest up then, Cat. We'll need you fresh and ready for the Alps

Im doing my best... trying to come up with evil plans to get my flattie to sleep on the couch while his father is here instead of me...

Only way it can be done is if I DONT watch the tour tonight....

Well that doesn't sound like an option Cadel is in yellow. There's NO WAY you're not watching

x2. She has a TdF addiction even when Cadel's NOT in yellow. There's no way she's going to miss a stage when he IS. Cat - just sleep wherever the TV is. That way, you don't have to travel far to see the race! (Hm, if you could put a stash of potato chips and soda nearby, you could just hang out there until Monday morning. )

Thanks Dee - its 2.5 hours before the race start and the fact I dont have possession of the TV or tour watching on the agenda is ALREADY starting to stress me out...

Sooooo much so that Im wondering if i should call a mate and see if I can come over to watch tonight...

Do you think I have a problem? 

Hi Jen! Wow thats early!!!!!  

Yes.  I have to catch a shuttle over to transition (about 2 miles away) and set up everything except my bike and be out by 5:45.  Then it's another mile walk to swim start because that's a point to point swim with the current.

On the plus side, since my swim wave starts at 6:23, I figure I should be done before 10:30 (at least that's my goal). 

Sounds like a good goal to have... most people will be just starting their day at that point... 

True.  I'm so glad I'm in an early swim wave.  Pros go off at 6 and I'm in wave 12.  There are a total of 37 swim waves and the last leaves around 8.  Can you imagine?  You have to  be out of transition by 5:45 and then don't start until 8? 

We went to the Museum of Modern Art last night.  I got these:

They are salt and pepper shakers that fit together and look like they are hugging.  Adorable!! 

Aaaaw thats sweet!!!!  

woo hoo! I think I can use the online web streaming... I have been granted use of a laptop so I can watch in bed!

I wont miss anything tonight!   (maybe if I can figure it out)

w00t!! 

I cant believe my luck! 

Mornin' Nibbs.  At least it's still morning here.

Mooch and me just finished a hilly 48 miler (and I reiterate, Mississippi hilly).  Kind of crazy that the ride started at 73 degrees (ahhh... nice) and by mile 40 it was 93.  Ugh.

Good luck on your races tomorrow, everyone!  And Jen, don't blink or you'll miss your swim  I hear the NYC swim leg is the fastest anywhere.

That's what they said during briefing.  There are NO swim warmups.  Last year (or two years ago?) a pro insisted on doing a warmup and never made it back to the start on his own.  Had to get a kayak to bring him back up. 

Haha... I guess when some people can float faster than they normally swim, who needs to warm up.

Have fun, and I can't wait for your RR.  The NYC is one I have my eye on in the future.

Susan (sk2a2005) and Chrissy (wurkit_gurl) are staying at my house tonight.  CrazyAuntCarrie is staying at her grandmother's house in Richmond.  I know Susan from Lady Patriot and Dismal Swamp Stomp.  I'll meet Chrissy when she arrives here, we were together last summer fr TdF.  Carrie knows Susan so it's one of those  things where everyone knows someone who knows someone else..

Hi Nibbs!

I got in a run and got more importantly got my hair cut and colored!

did some yardwork too -

good to know Judi!  Did you bake them first and put them in the crock pot to keep warm, or did you cook them in the crock pot?

I would hav never thought of doing that

Cat, hope you can work out the solution so you can watch the tour

Bill, I love Monk! (is that a good thing?)

Heather - nicely done - you left us all hanging - of course now we truly will expect a post of substance

Jen - glad you made it to NYC safe and sound - LOVE the salt and pepper shakers!

Kendra - hope you enjoyed the cosmo - can you make one for me?

Dee - did you need a cattle prod to get out of bed this morning- seeesh!

Kristen  - have a great race tomorrow

Judi - also have a great race!  Have fun with your house guests

Hi Pam, Sal, Blake, and everyone else!
