Sometimes I amaze myself with my wittiness... Particularly, my scathing comment last week about Ryan's inability to pick up hot Las Vegas chicks with his mom's basement and sub-par beer selections.

Oh, and there I go again

I was going to make a joke about blowing and horns - but I will skip it in the desire to see this TAN age properly.

Welcome back!  How was the beach?  Was this the trip with your parents? 

Ha, yes this was the parental trip! It went mostly well - only some minor issues the first day and the last day. I don't think my mom is all that interested in hearing about church any more and I don't know if she is gonna actually follow through with asking for a recommendation for a grief counselor. Sigh...but it was mostly fun times. And too short. And wish I'd brought my bike, but didn't want to mess around with trying to fit my rack on the back of my parent's car and then having it fall off on the highway somewhere. At least I got my running in.

A few questions:

1) Which race was it?

2) What was your swimming like before the neck issue, i.e. do you have a strong swimming background?

3) How did I go through my Americone Dream so quickly?

I understand the frustration - pulled the hammy in mid-May, reinjured it (truth be told it wasn't really fully healed) in late-May, had a crappy race the first of June, and spent most of the summer in PT instead of "racing".  Had a gone in when I first injured it, I'm sure that my summer would have been a lot different.  I know it sucks to delay your plans, but I think it's better to be healed and prepared.  That's my $0.02 worth. 

Also think about it this way: the swim for a 1/2 iron isn't that much longer than an Oly, so just because you have to bag the Oly for this season, doesn't mean that you have to bag an 1/2 iron next year if you already have the run and bike down for the Oly. 

I'm glad it went reasonably well.  It sounds like it was pretty stressful for you.  Hopefully she'll follow through with the grief counselor. 

The weather was nice for being at the beach.   

Yeah, we did have great weather. I have a nice tan now, and have come pretty close to evening out all my weird training-clothing lines The trip wasn't too too bad. Just a few moments here and there that were "eh". Mostly, she was fine. She seemed nicer to my Dad, which is good.

Don't need to know juicy... we need to know if there was any spatter.

I just wanna see some freaking pictures so I can rate her. Be warned, however, because I'm super picky. An 8 on your scale is probably a 4.5 on mine

Ha. I'd hate to see where I rank on your scale...

Ha...that's always nice.  I need to work on that. 

It's just the angle of the shot and how she's leaning between the two guys. Not bad
