Triathlons and Babies

Triathlons and Babies New PR for me in Fargo. Pretty nice weather too, just a gusty straight line wind from the north at 15-20 mph. Like I say, pretty nice for Fargo.

It was a tough weekend...driving with a crabby toddler, stopping ever so briefly for a bite with my parents who were also on the road to sell a stallion...and on to Fargo to pick up our race packets. Then another hour's drive to my sister's in Enderlin ND. We made it, set up camp, and ate some lasagna. Did a makeshift crib with a pack n play and his mesh tent over the top. Said Child can jump anything and climb anything, so we have an ever so humane mesh tent over his crib and anything else he sleeps in. For his safety and our sanity.

We crawled into bed about 9. My sister is known to stay up late and sleep til noon was too in bed at 9, preparing for her own marathon with Child. Crawled out of bed by 5 and off and running by 8. The weather turned dark and grey at the starting line and it started to rain with some big cold drops....and then it stopped. It never really warmed but 55 is nice to run in, except for the wind. It was at our backs for 13 miles and we headed into it the last 13 miles. Ugh.

The fans were great. Or is that GrAte? And they were handing out GAY TOR AAADE...that is my attempt at the very Nord Dakota A sound.

All in all, my hubby and friend and I had a goal and we did it. Cool as a cucumber.

That's all folks. It has been a heckuva week getting back into the groove even though only gone for 48 hours. That baby gets out of sync and it takes time to get back into a normal shift again.
