weekend

today was my first open water swim of the season and it was damn cold. so cold that every time i stuck my face in i would hyper ventalate. damn cold. but the water was clear and all in all it was a good swim. cold though. i did my own mini triathlon but with extra long transitions with complete clothing changes and bathroom breaks!

eric did his first olympic disance triathlon yesterday. we are not swimmers. eric managed a 111 out of 191 in the swim. but dug deep into his treasure chest of courage and pulled out a 13th overall finish with a 2nd in his age group which is pretty good considering the guy who came in first in his age group is pro and all. i was all proud, eric did great!! we showed up at the race site about 20 minutes before the start of the race because we make a wrong turn AND got pulled over by the coppers. nice police man though, let us off and even gave us directions to the race site! seamus came with us but sirus stayed at grandmas. it was so windy!! seamus took refuge at one point in my coat. she also stopped to listen to the crickets.
