First Blog Post

Please don't be jealous that it takes me 15 minutes to put on a wetsuit.. here I am taking a break because I was sweating...

Alo,

I am creating this blog so Liz and Katie (my roommates) will stop annoying me about making one and stop writing blog entries on my facebook. I am also doing it now because I don't want to write a research paper and I also do not want to swim. Maybe if I get carried away writing this I will just happen to miss Masters.

After many months of creeping on other blogs, I thought I would know what to write.. but I am embarassed to say I can not think of anything original! I don't have interesting weekly workouts like Berg, I didn't just go to Hawaii like Tawnee, I DO have good iTunes lists like Beth, but that would just be social suicide since I run to artists like Celine Dion.

This past weekend was the US Women's Tri Series race which was a lot of fun. On Saturday before the race, Liz and I did a 2 hour ride with Michelle around Fiesta Island. I think we all can agree that FI blows and riding on it 3 weekends in a row was NOT fun. The race itself was nice and quick - the run was only 2.99 miles instead of a true 5k, but I definitely was not complaining! Like last year, I ran out the Swim In and it wasn't until a good 10 seconds of running out there that I was told that I went out the wrong way. One day I will get it right!

On Thursday Brit, Liz and I are driving to AZ for the Soma Half Ironman triathlon. That should be a good race. Too bad Lipe isn't racing too so I can wave to him for 1/4 of a mile like I did in Vineman. (Hence the title of my blog ... I personally was just happy to be running and seeing a fellow Breakaway athlete, but I was told I need to FOCUS -- whatever!)
