Just a quick update.
I have to say that I must be insane. I must be. What was I thinking signing up for this race on Saturday. I'm doing the bike portion of a team triathlon.
It's 12 miles, which really isn't that bad, but I drove the route and it's almost all really nasty hills. Yikes!
Hills kick my butt.
I practiced yesterday and did 3 1/2 miles with intense hills. My legs were shaking afterwards and I felt nauseous.
But then I went and did the first mile and a half of the actual race route and it wasn't as bad. Although I know some of the hills later in the course are as bad as my practice ones.
This will be a true physical challenge for me!
Yesterday was my birthday and I'm pretty sure my husband forgot.
He called me 3 times from work and never mentioned it. My MIL watched the kids while I biked and I told her I was pretty sure he didn't remember. So while my husband was driving home from work, my FIL called and reminded him.
My husband has already gone to Walmart for a few things. After the phone call he then stopped at the grocery store (the really small one by our house) and got me a single rose and a card.
He says he thought that store would have a larger selection of flowers than walmart, but that he was wrong. Uh, yeah, that's a really small store.
I don't mean to be complaining. I actually think it's pretty funny.
I appreciate what I did get and he gave me a very nice card where he wrote some very sweet (and true) things to me.
Okay, I better go to bed. I have to get super hydrated tomorrow in preparation for Saturday!
