July 17

• I survived the Triathlon - got a flat tire so I didn't even get to experience the full effect of the race.  All in all we had fun and had a great time swimming a mile above sea level, climbing a mountain pass, and running at high noon :)
• A good article concerning the Middle East: http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/comment/0,,1822143,00.html

Ides of July - Triathlon eve

• 24 hours and counting until the 1st triathlon occurs. Jessica, aka rowing partner in crime turned whats this tri stuff all about partner in crime is picking me up momentarily. Let's do a quick gear check shall we?
• bike
• tent, sleeping bag, pillow
• rented wetsuit (I hope it works - haven't had a chance to 'test')
• suitcase for next week (yes, going straight from race to the airport for my next journey - work in Colorado!)
• bag for this weekend w/ clothes (pre, during, post race).
• lots of gu and powerbars
• It's quite the gear-intensive sport - maybe I'll find some more local races so I won't have to lug everything around so much next time. At least Jessica is bringing an SUV and not the 2 seater TT - we wouldn't stand a chance.

• Weather is looking good - high 80's and sunny. In that weekend bag is ozzie sunblock, guaranteed to keep my ghostly.

- Who can argue with a 2 day week, it sure feels nice.
- I had to get blood drawn today for routine Dr. visit tests.  One of my reasons was I don't even know my own blood type.  I find that in this day and age, not knowing one's blood type is a little scary

- one week left until Donner Lake!  Taper mode has begun.

July Happy 4th

As promised, here are photos of the gay pride parade! There's about 30 or so. I didn't snap any of me in my relay freaks shirt, although I did get comments that it was a cool shirt and some folks even took my photo. I will have to tell shirt designer Dawn that it was highly regarded in the gay pride parade.

Happy 4th of July to everyone. I have stayed local for this four day holiday and am enjoying the city's cool climate after so many years of sweltering mid-summer celebrations. If only I had some sparklers...
