I’m an auntie again! Meet Luke, Ethan’s little brother (born 11/2/06). and don’t ask me where he got all that dark hair in a family of blonds! My littlest sis had similar dark hair when born. I was bald as a… a… bike helmet? until I was 2 or 3 (shhh… don’t tell!).

Back on the bike this weekend for a long ride, as well as a few shorter ones. On Saturday I rode out to Mike’s place, almost sliding on some ice on my way there. Ice? Yes, ice. In Southern CA. You see, it was a bit cooler this weekend. So from the time someone empty…

So Mike and I had “the talk” last night. It was a bit hard to get started, but I knew what I thought would be best and I had to say it. “So I’ve been thinking…” I started. “Next year… I think it would be fun to do IM KY.” After a deep breath, the…

Saturday I biked 85 miles from the Anaheim train station, through Santiago Canyon and Camp Pendleton and all the way down to Solana Beach. It was with the tri club, so to those of you I passed along the way I was with a group (Inland Inferno Tri Club), but though of you as we…

I know it has been a bit of a break from tri posts, but I’ve been riding and swimming as much as (maybe more than, with swimming) ever. It’s just been with less of a goal or focus. With an eye on enjoying it, and staying in shape and happy. Mike and I took our…

Good thing I like the smell of chlorine and find it calming and nice… ’cause there is not much like a 4000yd swim as the sun comes up! At the start the sky was dark and the pool a glowing turquiose. Each lap the pool glowed less, its light was a bit less glaring, and…
