Yes, my cuz has it right on.....burning, burning, burning..those ears should have been crispy! But I totally understand the inability to get out the door as I've been getting a bit like that lately.....as I've been reminded and thoroughly spanked in the ocean this past weekend. When asked how "things went" I can only mumble that the swim was sort of like a "controlled drowning!" in the wonderful ocean..... I was doing nothing that even resembed swimming...ekkkkk

Yes, it was a first---and likely a last, as I was rebaptised by fire! The first tri since 2002..and a tough and highly underestimated ocean swim....

had I fully known what i was getting into--I'd have not gone near the surf!

But--heck, were it not for my cuz loaning me a wetsuit, the experience would have been complete..NOTE: The only people being pulled from the water--seriously lacked the rubber floatation device! Make that a note to self!

And once again! It was a wonderful experience, and were it not for my cousin---the infamous "Running Mommy" I'd have not placed a toe in the water! Another adventure on the "tales of the road" experiences we've had!

And on that note--do you know that some people think we are "psycho" to do this for "fun" on any given weekend....;-) Aren't they stupid! tee-hee
