Great weekend.

Well it's monday and I've got wood and sheetrock coming from my local lumberyard to make closets in rooms for the kids, and cover a chimney that we put up last winter. Hey I know that should be done already, but I've been training. So that will be taking up the time today, with prep work and getting some stuff out of the way. I am excited, my wife and I are moving our bedroom downstairs and Abbie is getting her own room. The kids are excited, and the work should be pretty easy. I am looking to have it all done by the middle of next week. We shall see.
Saturday was hot and humid, but a quick 5k in the blistering heat and humidity was all I managed. I had planned another of the 6.7 mile loops from the other day, but Will was with me and he was not faring well in the heat. Probably didn't help that it was 11:30 am. Cest la vie! Did some rec swimming with the kids, interspersing a lap here and there with playing. Great day.
Sunday I went to the Timberman 70.3 in Gilford NH to watch. Not ready for that at all. My main goal was to go there and sign up for next years race. Unfortunately they hadn't opened the registrations yet. Have to wait til October. Anyway, it was hot and humid when I got up at 0300 to be there for the start of the race. Yeah I know I am nuts, but Gilford is three and a half hours away.....Mybrother in law Cliff went with me and we had a blast. The energy at the event was way cool and the 2600 racers was very impressive. Chrissy Wellington and Andy Potts were the pro winners and it was really cool to see them competing at such a high level. They are truly blessed with superior genetics....
More impressive is watching all the different types of people racing, all the crazy carbon junkies, and the people riding their straight up roadie steel frame. It was so cool. Cliff had to geek slap me as I started spouting off prices of some of the bikes in the transition area and the benefits of this and that. I realized that I may have stepped off the deep end on this one....
I was actually in awe to see so many people gathered together to celebrate the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. People of all shapes and sizes were competing and it was truly inspiring to watch the 60 year olds pop out of the water and sprint down the beach to the transition area. Sprint! So cool. I hope to be in half that good of shape.
