Triathlons and Babies

Triathlons and Babies

So, it has been awhile since my last post. June is a busy month for tri's as well as selling houses. Yesterday, I received an email that I qualified for 'Nationals' for age groupers based on a qualifying sprint that I did on June 11th. Awesome. How fun is that? I didn't even know there was a national competition....or at least at my level. Very cool. BUT, the down side is that I cannot do it. I have too much work and too many other time commitments that to travel there for the national competition in Kansas City is not feasible.

So, tomorrow we are off to OK to visit my parents for a week. They are on 100 acres in OK with about 40 horses and a donkey. It will be so relaxing...I hope to get some good swim run bricks in since I will not have a bike along. Bri and I signed up for a 5k on the morning of the 4th in Tulsa. Having been from there, I figured, what the hell! My mom insisted we take 2 of the days we are there and have dates so she can bond with Cade. So, on the 4th is one of the dates. I did look up the prior year results for the 5k because I have a goal for that particular race too. It is a sub 22 minute time. I am about 23:30 now. Must improve that. However, that said, I am on target for the top three in my age group based on average times for the last few 5k's down there. So, perhaps, I will medal. Now, wouldn't that be fun! I miss occasionally being a big fish in a little pond because I would not have a shot at top three in Minneapolis with that time. NO CHANCE. But outside of the occasional ego boost, the big pond is way way better.

Lifetime Fitness Tri is just around the bend.

Off to OK for a week! YEE HAW!
