I have a full Saturday REST DAY! Still in mental/physical recovery mode from Steelhead. I know I laugh about it, but Steelhead was quite a disappointment for me. Not the end of the world, but a disappointment nevertheless. The weekend itself was a blast, though, so I'm certainly glad I did the race. I just wish it would have been an actual triathlon. And despite all of the levity it has caused around here, I also wish I would have taken my visor off in T1. Seriously.
Anyway, am going to spend my rest day today cleaning toilets/bathrooms/kitchen. And vacuuming all carpeted surfaces. And playing with Molly & Quentin. Maybe I'll do some laundry if the mood strikes.
Then tonight is my family birthday dinner @ Wildfire with my sister and Mom and BIL and dumpster.
Here are a couple of photos from last night...(Jana's party)
This is our Crystal Lake/LITH Healthbridge triathlon/Master's contingent.

Tuesday - August 5
7:20 AM: Up early to fold some laundry... and get ready for work. Work all day, then meet my HS girlfriends @ Champps in Lombard for some dinner and a birthday celebration for myself and Rachael.
I have a REST DAY today! Yay!
The remainder of the week looks like this:
- Wednesday -- Another short swim
- Thursday -- 1:15 bike
- Friday -- :30 easy run
- Saturday -- REST DAY!!!
- Sunday -- 1:20 run.
That's the calm before the marathon storm. I'm considering doing Pleasant Prairie as a sprint next weekend. Just for fun. I'd like to have carefree race that goes according to "plan" at least once before this season is over. And it doesn't take much to planning to do a sprint, so I'm thinking that's going to be the ticket.
***PLUS***
If Pleasant Prairie gets turned into a duathlon, the worst case scenario is a 3 mile run/12 mile bike/3 mile run. I can do that. Now I have a whole new angle to consider.... my races morphing into duathlons.
