Bri and I had a nice weekend. On Saturday morning we loaded up the car to set up at the Pinehurst triathlon and cheer on our friends/athletes/blood-feud enemies. The Pinehurst triathlon is a very challenging olympic-plus distance race that you'll never see me racing in because of the run terrain. There are too many hills for this intrepid adventurer. The morning was warm and humid, making me even happier that all I had to do was sit there and yell at people.
After the race we came home and kept an eye on Ironman world champs going on out in Hawaii. I had one athlete out there competing - congrats Emily!
This morning was a lot cooler, and we did a run/ ride in Umstead. Then I took a big nap.
This must be one of the most banal posts I've put up in a while. Yakk yakk yakk.
The point is I enjoy hanging out with Bri. She rocks. The end.
