    and then there are some of us who can barely handle a bike season. I cannot IMAGINE how you can train for all those other things. Well, I can imagine how some people can do it, but not me.
    a coworker of mine (male, single) showed me his triathalon training schedule.
    I could not believe it!! crammed into every part of his day was all sorts of training events. I think he had a couple afternoons free in an entire month.

    Ugh. First day back at work. This kind of sucks. Of course, my job always kind of sucks, so why should today be different. At least no one is running up to me screaming "we missed you so much, you can't ever be sick again!" I must've finally gotten through to them that I do not take that as a compliment.

    I've got all the production work caught up, everything is either printed or printing. Really, a monkey could do this part of my job. It gives me time to play on TD.

    I won't even pretend to be a tri-girl, the thought of running makes my knees hurt, and I swim like a rock. So everyone out there that does tri's - I salute you!

    I hate that first day back after being sick. You either get "wow, you don't look very good, do you feel okay?" type comments, or you get flooded with work you missed when you were sick, or you have that constant lingering brain fog that makes you completely unable to multi-task or speak coherently for more than 30 seconds.

    All of the above! The only saving grace is our email server is down - who knows what's lurking there for me! I've had my first "you don't look like you feel good" comment. Oh, gee thanks! Almost lunch time - I can escape for a bit!

    and what about when they ask "so you're feeling better? " and you don't know what to say because you really DON'T feel better, but you can't take a week off because of a cold!

    Hey when does this cold go away? I am tired of it.

    On the tri front, I plan to do one before I am 40. I also plan to come in dead last.

    I liked the comments I got when I returned to work from gallbladder surgery, mind you I was grey and gaunt and in pain..."you've lost so much weight, you look fantastic!!!".

    There are rumors of snow! In San Jose! The city will grind to a halt if that happens.

    Weather Underground shows a high of 49 and a low of 29 for tomorrow. Chance of precipitation.

    So THAT'S where our snow is hiding! Send it on home to us here.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    I just heard from my friend in Bryggen and she said the have had 74 straight days of rain. Apparently the record is 84.

    Someone, anyone, I really would like to see some snow this winter. Please send snow.

    We're getting snow here right now.

    I'm a pretty lackadaisical triathlete. don't have a clue what my heart rate is. Ever. The only reason I survieve the swim part is because of the floatie wetsuit. I kick BUTT on the bike. I walk the run.

    Wooohoooo! I'm a triathlete! (sally edwards told me so! )

    BMo3 if you come in last on the Danskin you get to cross the finish line with Sally Edwards and you get a basket of goodies.
