My busy weekend has come to an end with my ass sitting on the couch with a bowl of ice cream in my lap watching the Kona Ironman Championships. Those damn racers are FAST! Shit! Great stories from some of the racers; testicle cancer racer who is still taking chemo, bike accident survivor, drug addict and in jail guy that got his shit together, 80 year old man who has raced in Kona 20 times (what the hell!) and a lady with a stress fracture on her foot and walked the whole 26.2 miles with a boot on. They all made it under the 17 hour cut off. I can't bitch about the little things anymore.
This momma needs her rest. It has been a busy weekend with some really really really late nights. Friday night with my buddy Rouski drinking beer and eating pizza by their pool. Did not leave their house until 11 a.m. and that means in bed my 12 p.m. Up early Saturday to MC Mom's Tractor Pull (again, don't ask!) but home in time to take a quick hour nap before we headed to the Southington Drive In to park our truck for the movie at 9 p.m. The town pool is a quick walk away so we locked everything up and hit the pool to cool off. It was so damn hot. The movie of the night was GREASE and I was very happy to be there and see it. The kids hung out in the back of the truck while Todd and I sat in our beach chairs. Again, home after 11 p.m. and in bed close to midnight again. At this point my kids really need their sleep because they are getting none at all. And up at 4:15 a.m. this morning to head down to New London for the AMICA OCEAN BEACH SPRINT TRI......Giddy up!
What a great morning. Still sticky and gross but cloudy with some rain. I won't complain about that. Of course the sun came out on the run which is the worst time for it to appear. We had 12 Tri Club members race this morning and it was great to see all of them attempt their first outdoor tri or for some others see them reach a time goal. I think we all came in within minutes of each other which I find funny! I completed the .5 mile swim, 16 mile bike and 3.1 mile run in 1:46 which I was happy with. I think my swim was really long. I was zig zagging like crazy because I was breathing on one side due to my goggles filling up with water on the other side. I usually swim away from everybody to get out of the mess of people and I sure did swim away from everybody this morning. I was going in the wrong direction have the time. Totally thought of you Grigs!
A few of us hung out on the beach afterwards and enjoyed the water, company and food of course. The kids had a blast playing in the water. By 2 p.m we decided to pack up and leave. I really wanted to get home and clean up. Plus my kids needed a serious bath and I just wanted to be so DONE! When we did arrive home I ended up doing some yard work, cleaning off my bike, hosing down my wetsuit and other miscellaneous stuff. It was 5 p.m. and this point and I was beyond sweaty and I needed to shower NOW! I get ready to hit the shower and BAM! I have my period again......Geez, I just had it didn't I? Well, it has literally been three weeks and now I'm pissed off about that. Yank my uterus out! I don't want it anymore.
With nice clean kids and a nice clean ME, everybody hit the sack early to read and hopefully fall asleep before 9 p.m. at least. I'm off to bed myself because I surely need the sleep. Plus I am teaching the 5:45 a.m. spin class tomorrow morning......oh yippy!
