Another Olympic

Well, I loved the first one so much I immediately started searching for another one. I signed up for one in mid August. It's a 2 hour drive away but not that bad. It's a 2 loop swim which should be interesting getting out of the water and back in after 750 meters. The bike is a little hilly which will help me unless it's just power hills.

I've only been biking this week to let my knee rest. I swear it didn't hurt during my race. It's sortof weird as it only hurts when I run slow. Maybe my gait is so different between race pace and training that it upsets my knee. My cycling is really coming around as I have a good set of workouts this week. It's so amazing how slow my training wheels feel after riding the HEDs for the last week. Oh well, it will just make me faster come race day sortof like racing flats on the run and wetsuit for the swim.

I wanted to add a 10K running race in between now and the next Olympic but there aren't really any coming up which is sad. There's just one which I'm probably going to do. On top of that, there is no kid's races at all. This bums me out because Elena ended up being sick for the kids race on the 20th and so she didn't get to go. We could try a 5k but I'm not sure if Elena will like running for 25+ minutes. It might be a bit much. There is a kid's race at the Baltimore running festival this October. Amber and Joe are going to do the half marathon.

I had my bag of Doritos and bag of Lay's this week so I'll go back off chips again. It will save money since chip prices have gone way up since the last time I bought them. I do miss them. The Doritos created a wave of euphoria over me as I ate them. Is that bad? I'm definitely out of practice though as my chip eating arm became sore after the multiple reaches into the bag. Sad, how far the great have fallen. Of course, Elena saw the chip bag when she was over on Wednesday and gave me the stink eye. It was hilarious! She keeps me honest in my junk food eating. I guess this is good as she gets older, she'll keep raggin me on my eating habits and hopefully keep me in line.
