My kind of weekend!

All it needed was some surf... then again, I'd probably have to call in sick.. Saturday was the Mud Run with my bro, best bud and her jackass bf and my homie from college and his wife... We ended up running more than I thought we would.. maybe a mile and half all together... funniest parts were the walls were my homie (pretty big guy) jumped over the wall and ate shit on the other side of it.. pretty damn funny... same thing happened to my bro, but he twisted his ankle... best bud and her bf didn't do the race... yeah I know.. WTF!! I was sooo stoked to have my friends doing the race with me, especially the best bud... Bummed me out that her bf had to work.. damn the wireless internet!!! best thing he could have done was say go ahead and I'll catch up.. fucking jackass!! After that, we hit the warf for some fish and chips and sweet potato fries.. mmmmm!!!

Sunday, get up at 5am, again, and head to Redond0 beach for the tri... I made a friend!! The dude surfs and does tris... saweet!! I've been looking for someone to push me when I train.. and sometimes, it's cool having someone to talk to.. the seals never answer me back... also saw a guy from college.. this guy was 280 and is now down to 260... pretty impressive.. I cheered him on the last hill.. the swim wasn't that bad.. actually kinda funny because I was swimming the same pace as some other racer... I kept bumping him.. oops!! and damn the run from the ocean to the bike transition.. we had to run on the sand and then run up some stairs... heart rate was through the room... bike was super fun.. I hit 25mph on the flat road so that was cool.. passed a few people and got past by a lot of others... run was the same old story.. everyone I passed on the bike passed me on the run.. DAMMIT!!! I did manage to chase some guy down in the last 100m and pass him.. so I was happy... when I finished, time was 63min... I was in the first wave, so I think that was my time.. or around there... I raced in the "big boy" division 200lbs+ and I only saw a few guys with C's (clydesdale) on their calfs... results aren't up yet, so I'll keep the "Hey I placed 5th in my weight division!!" line down until they're up... 63min gets me 6th with last year's time.. winning time was 40min or around there.. dude was 50yrs old!!! stayed after to cheer people on.. there were kids as young as 12 (maybe younger) racing.. they were fun to cheer for... they were ear to ear smiles when we cheered for them... after that, headed home and hung out with the family... time to rest.. hopefully some surf next week... stop playing stalker.. AND MORE TRAINING!!!
