awwww...the weekend...

Had lots on the go this weeked cause next Saturday I have a date with Simon Lessing!! Okay, not a date, but a tri-camp with him and some of the local triathletes. All I can say is THANK GOD Jenna and Chuck will be there, because if I had to be all alone with all the hard cores....not sure how I would fare. And my tri-buddy Shannon will be there so we can chat about all our "team mates" with CTS!! Ha Ha!!! But me thinks there won't be much "chatting" happening. I am actually anxious about how I am going to get my hair blow dried and half-assed done in between the swim and the talk...then we run, then we bike...so maybe a hat?
Anyway, I opted to sleep on Friday as I was supposed to run but it was too damn cold to run. And I did not even feel like getting my butt to a treadmill. Lazy. I did my bike ride yesterday and even did a few minutes extra. Was an interesting ride as I was trying to parent while doing intervals...you know, telling my kids not to fight, give that back, put that down, don't hit him, if I have to get off this bike...blah, blah, blah....
Made it to swimming today. Was a good workout. Everyone was there. All the fast guys were there which meant there were 7 big strong swimmers in our lane and then lil ole me...so I am not so little, but you know what I mean!! So I moved down and swam with the lane 7 boys. Was a hard fricken workout...12 x 200 meters. Holy!! Have not done that in awhile. Feeling it today. I had taken the offspring swimming on Saturday, spent 3 hours in the public, hot, peed in pool...but the boys did not care! See pics below.
Next up is my monthly 5km race tomorrow! I am SO breaking my record from last month. I just wish Mother Nature was on the team as it is supposed to be c-c-c-cold.
