Show Time!!


Finally!

It has been 8 long months since I have raced a triathlon. That may not seem like long to some people, but usually I race well into October and last year my last tri was August 2. I didn't really know at the time it would be my last for the year, but it ended up that way.

I'm doing the quarter ironman at Lonestar in Galveston on Sunday. Jon is doing the sprint tomorrow, so I'm heading down tonight. I'm very excited. I don't expect to race well, and this is my first olympic/quarter distance race, but it should still be a fun weekend.
They have done all hi-tech and you can watch the race live online now too.
I will know literally dozens of people out racing, and seeing familiar faces out on the course is one of my favorite things about local races. There will also be many coming in from out of town that I know to do the race too - whohoo!!

How did you do? I was out on the half bike course most of the day keeping tabs on the TNT people so I did not see any of the action back at Moody Gardens.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
