| | A little update for all the stalkers out there. I am coming off
of my fall break this past weekend, and things are really starting to
get busy now. The high school season officially starts next
Monday for girls, and 2 weeks later than that for the boys. It is
a good team this year on both sides. I am excitied to see how
things turn out. The boys especially are really going to turn
some heads this year. This weekend is also the halloween
splash. Our club is hosting the meet up at THN, all friday night,
and saturday and sunday all day. Our club is getting rather
large, so we will have a lot of our swimmers there, but it will be
interesting to see how well we stack up against the other teams around
(size does not equal ability). Then again, who really knows.
Some updates on my attempt to not lose my athletic prowess. I did
compete in my triathlon on Sunday morning of Homecoming weekend.
Not the best weather starting out, considering they postponed the start
by a half hour to let the thunder and lightning pass (after we had all
started to get into the water). But it went really well, I was a
bit off of my goal stated in this blog as 2:35. I ended up going
much more slowly than anticipated on the swim, and it made my overall
time 2:40 and change. The run felt good, but I did cramp up going
down a hill, adn I almost ended up in the creek, but it worked out
alright. Thios past weekend I also ran, this time as part of a
relay in the Indianapolis marathon. I was a little bit
intimidated originally, because marathon is a scary word for me right
now, but it actually ended up being a whole ton of fun. Phil and
Sarah each ran a leg, as did Phil's sister. They decided I should
do the last and longest leg, and it felt awesome running that whole
way. they tell me that I was at about 7 minute mile pace, which
is amazing since I haven't run that kind of pace over any distance in a
long time (read: cross-country back in high school). It felt
great though, going across that line.
Anyways, that's enough blabber for one morning. I have to go get
some stuff done today. Career fair is tomorrow, and I really
should make a good showing there, but my luck in the past does not bode
well for that. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
