Pre-Race Gitters

Boy, I have been slackin' on the blog (but so has Sherquilter...). Almost one week to date. I had my interviews last week and have been extra busy ever since. One night I worked on my school reunion website lots. I'm back and on track now. I still need to lose at least 5 more pounds for the summer, but I'm down 5 from the winter anyway. I thought the weather was finally warm on the east coast but that was just a pipe dream. I woke up to 38-42 desgrees all week. So cold to bike in. On Monday, once it warmed up, I headed out on the bike and never got off it for over 3 hours (except to stop at lights). Needless to say I have a good sunburn on my back. I feel like the sport/tri top I wore is now branded into my skin...X marks the spot for sure. I tried to spay the sunscreen on my back, but I think the bathroom floor received most of the sunblock. I might have beat Forrest this morning as I was up at 5 and in the pool by 6. Was a good morning. I biked a bit at lunch and I'm resting for the next 2 days. I have my first triathlon of the year Sunday in the Pocono's. Since I was sick (not sure what to call the chest pain incident) I'm still not 100%, better, but still have re-occurances, so I am doing the shorter race (Sprint not the Half Iron). I should be done in less than 2.5 hours. They usually post the results later in the day and you could check on the website: http://www.cgievents.com/cgiracing/bbt/index.html. I will be staying in a bed and breakfast Sat - Mon, so I may not have access to the web until I get home Monday. I will have a good time, even if I don't have a good race as several of my friends are racing and 5 of us are in the same B&B. I'm bringing wine to celebrate Sunday night (wine is good for whatever ails you). Take care all and have a good weekend (I may not blog tomorrow).
