CHEERS!!!

So I haven't surfed in a very long time. Damn the rain! And I was on vacation for about 9 days. Hopefully the rain lets up today and it stays dry the rest of the week cause I wanna surf this weekend.

Recaps:

Half-Triathlon 3/11: Dude it was soo cold and it actually snowed during the swim portion. People were swimming back because it was cold. I don't blame them, the cold really messed up my breathing pattern. I do have to mention the 2 athletes that swam without a wettie. One chick that did the full mile and a guy in my wave. Took me about 33 minutes to swim a half mile. In the pool, I can do it in about 15 minutes and was shooting for at least sub 20min. Damn the cold! Bike portion was cancelled by the time I got to the transition. Someone had tobe trucked back cause he couldn't shift gears. Damn the cold again!! As for the run, I finished at in 30 minutes; my average training time. So I think if it wasn't so cold, I could have finished in around 2 hours. Oh well, great experience! Can't wait for the LA Triathlon. I'm going the distance in that one.

Ireland: Super fun and again, DAMN THE COLD! And yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Guinness does taste better there. Everyone is your friend no matter what color (the 3 Filipino boys were the black sheeps). What a great time. If you get a chance, visit.
