short long everything

saturday was me and jeremiah for a short long ride with a wee run after...it was so much fun to ride again with him...it seems we don't get to do that much now that we are on different schedules and he's doing a HalfIM this weekend...and i am doing a short sprint...soon we will converge again...road 1h45m into the wind and uphill both ways...no seriously the wind was killer...nose wobbling...and kind of unsafe in aerobars wind...but the wind is my friend...right?! ~20 minute run off the bike saw Raj and Ashley from cap tex group out in the neighborhood next to the veloway...

went to LBS to get a tri-top...i like what i got...saw the boys...richard and drew...no jack :( but it is great there...they are super nice...picked up the farm share...with an abundance of leeks...yum...and home to study for the exam i hoped not to have to take...sigh...j and i made indian food...and macaroons and watched King Corn...i liked...he fell asleep :0

sunday swim at nitro...we swam a timed 1500...33m35s i was happy with that...actually i couldn't care less about the time...it was the fact that i swam continuously for 1600m (yeah it's not the track) and was not winded or so tired that i couldn't swim more...total of 2000...it went fast...then it was down to town lake for a run in my "tri outfit" to see what that is like...ran longhorn damn to congress loop... a little less than an hour...just taking it nice and easy...the outfit was good...i, to my surprise, didn't feel all that exposed...or maybe i just don't care anymore...

home again to study a lot...grilled chicken and leeks, green beans with shallots and anchovies, fresh tomatoes with Dijon vinaigrette...and an episode of Heros (season 2...not as good as season 1)

That's awesome on the swimming Jess. I can't swim 50m without being winded. I guess I should have made it to the 7:30 workout. My swim workout was much different than yours. I'm telling you, you are going to win the Rookie.
