Yeah, when I write that I feel all pukey. But I am all right with that. Well at least ½ right and ½ left.* G* So I have been working on packing for the kids and packing for the hubby and packing for me. Making sure all things are there and accounted for. Man this is going to be a busy night. I need to get the seats out of the van so that I can get the bike in. I am too worried about it to put it on the back of the van … I am borrowing it and all. I have a bike pump so that I can make sure everything is up to snuff while we are up there. I am trying to get a transition bucket ready. You catching on that I am worried a little bit? Yeah I am.
I am going with the flow on most of the stuff. But I have a lot to get ready. Not to mention to make sure I have the meds in the car this time. It is always rough if I forget the hubbies meds. I don’t want to do that again.
I have a comfortable chair for hubby to sit in IF he is able to sit…. to wait for me to get in. I have people with me cell number to txt him when ever they would like so that they can keep an eye on what is going on from home. If you want to be added to that list send me a PM… we will make sure that a txt will get to you from here and than you will be added on to the list. and as soon as I can I will personally let you know my time. But I think i have a guest speaker all set up to help out with that. The results can and will be given as soon as possible.
Today was a slow day for me. Like I promised everyone I have been gearing for the tapper. MAN I don’t like to tapper. Those feelings after I workout, How I could go just a little bit further… well I love that. AND I am missing it. But I will have so much energy by the time we get there… oh please don’t let me mess this up and look like a fool God.
So I rode my bike into town this morning. I didn’t get on the bike until 0530 that way I wouldn’t be so tempted to over do it. And I ran all through town than came back to the school. It was a nice easy 5 mile ride. Than I talked more than swam with my swim coach. Than I went home on the bike for another mile ride. I snuck out to the high way to get in a little extra. Than got all the kids ready for school and it looked like cookie monster was going to visit my house any moment with all the junk that was in here. Cookies,brownies,cake,cupcakes. You name it … it seemed to be in here. Which meant that I needed to deliver it all so that I was no longer tempted to eat all the sugary yumminess.
We delivered all but the cake and got things ready for swimming and was right back out the door. I normally get in about 4,000 yards but today I did 2,000 easy and got out into the HOT TUB. my favorite thing about working out. That hot tub. So now I am on NO MORE till I am done with the Tri. And than I am back at training again. Do I have another one in site for this year……. I am still thinking about that. I am not sure if financially I will be able to get another trip together. It is hard to get that far away from home. Need to have a place to stay ect. Food while we are there. You know. So I think it might have to wait for next year. BUT I am really thinking about it. My sites are set on the half iron man in Fairbanks AK for sure though. Next summer. I am going to be there.
Till tomorrow before I leave… or when I get back. May you all be blessed.

Cute thing I had told her. Hun if you are swimming free. you can always go on your back in order to get accross if you can’t breath on your belly. so cute because she can do it in practice but this time… she FLIPPED right over. But I tell you … watch out world because she is going to knock it out when she is older. build long and lankie. and she can move when she wants too. times will be broken next year. I am looking forward to another season of swimming with the littles. it realy was fun this year.

?. It’s 0400. Where are you?

A. I am waking up and getting my things ready for a training ride outside.

?. Why are you doing it at that time?

A. because that is when I need to be able to get my things done. So I can still come home and be a mom.

?. So how did it go this morning?

A. Rocken’ I left the house at about 4:45 rode to the school so that I could drop off my stuff for swimming and running. Got everything set and was OFF. Man it was amazing…. SWOOSH SWOOSH! The feeling of the wind through my helmet. Than the ups and the downs of the road. I have never been on a bike that fast. The road was going by me in such great speed that my eyes were unable to focus on any one thing as it was flying by. I left the school at 5:02…. Wow I was one mile by 5:04. What an amazing ride. I am so ready to see what this baby can do. So let us get into streamline and hunker in for a nice long ride. Than I felt this sudden swoosh of air with great force on my leg …. What in TARNATION? I look down as I am slowing to see that I have blown out a tire. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME? Yup I blew out the tire. So what do you think that means? Yup, call the hubby tell him I blew out a tire and I need to walk back but I needed someone to know I was on the trail walking. You know JUST in CASE! I know it is Alaska. But you never know. So I walk with my bike on my shoulder….. so as not to ruin the rim….All the way back. What took me 3 min. to do. 1.5 + a little miles took me 13 min. to walk back. DAG NAB IT!

?. You figure out what did it?

A. Yeah I did. Sad to say it was a slash in the tire that took me. So the rubber gave and so did the inner tube. That was my demise.

?. You get that fixed?

A. YUPPERS! Went out and talked to the good folks over at our local bike shop. Only one for 3 cities. And they helped me look at the tire and than I changed the tire and the inner tube…. BY MYSELF!

?. Could you do it on the trail if it happens on Sunday?

A. Yeah I could but here is the thing. I am not sure that I would. It is one of those things that took me 45 min. to do at home than I had to find an air compressor to get in enough pressure 120 PSI in those things. I can’t touch that with the little pump I have on the bike. But I suppose that in a pinch I could ride the bike with less than desirable PSI and I would get there just slower than I would if it was all there. So I guess we will have to wait and see.

?. once you got to the school what did you do than?

A. went on with a normal work out. Got an hour in on the stationary bike and than about 45 min. in the pool. With all the other stuff going on I didn’t get in the amount that I normally would have… another hour in the pool. I needed to get the bike taken care of ect. So I skipped. But I did have fun. I am currently looking for a bike for myself now.

?. Successful day?

A. any day that I am able to wake up, get moving , and get in a small workout…. is a successful one.

So now. Before I go out I will be checking those tires to make sure there are no knife/glass marks in the rubber. Darn poppen tires. LOL
