Tick tock, tick tock, ko koo, ko koo...

Well,

To sum it up that is pretty much what is going on now.  Its like watching paint dry around here.  As I sit here watching Truman and Mona chew their bones, snorting and making noises, I am waiting for the day.  Tick tock as I watch the clock and want the little guy to get here.  The ko koo for what I am going to be when he actually arrives.  Like I said, its like that long day at work, or sitting thru a 3 hour lecture and looking up at the clock and saying "OMG, its only been 22 minutes??"  Yeah, thats me.  I am THAT guy.  

As I sit here I am supposed to be in San Jose right now for training.  I talked to my boss and he let me get out of it which was nice.  I was worried that I might get stuck up there if Taunya went into labor.  Its only an hour and 15 minute flight, but if she went into labor I would probably not be able to get on a plane to come home until around 5:45 which would put me home somewhere around 8am. Not good.  So I decided to stay here and hang out to be more of a help.

I did a triathlon on Sunday that I was pretty much 100% not trained for at all.  Having been traveling and recently coming off of back spasms just a week ago, I still went ahead and did the race.  The distances were as follows; 1 mile swim, 26 mile ride and then a 6 mile run.  The last time I ran was about 3 weeks ago just before the back spasms.  I have not swam that far since about a year ago.  It was brutal, but amazing what you can tell your body to do when dealing with pain and issues when it comes to endurance events.  Some of the highlights or lowlights if you will from the race for me.

1. Swim-Took in 4 mouthfuls of San Diego Bay.  It was windy causing some chops in the bay.
2. Bike-26 miles, I think I did it just under an hour.  If I averaged 26mph that would be impressive.  I will wait to see my split times.
3. Run-Just trying to hang on. The first 1.25 miles was on beach sand.  Brutal.
4. Run-Ran with a 69 year old guy for awhile.  Cool dude.  Really nice guy.
5. This race is called the Superfrog/Superseal Triathlon.  Its done in Coronado and on the NSW(Naval Special Warfare) base where all of the SEALS train.  
6. My heat was with the military and I was running and swimming with some 20 year olds with 2 percent body fat, that were navy seals.  Alot of them passed me on the run needless to say.  
7. Finally, I did the whole race without stopping and walking at all.  I was proud of that fact.  With the exception of the Ironman, I have never stopped or walked in a race.  I am proud of that fact.

Anyway, enough of that  We might get some drizzle tonight but the weekend is looking to be a warm one.  I am looking to scoop up some new wheels for my bike pretty soon so I am excited about that.  Other than that, my next race is a bike, race again.  I am looking forward to it.  The only bad thing is that its a 100 mile race.

Oh yeah, Taunya finally had her baby shower this weekend.  Talk about waiting to the end?  Thanks to Katie her friend for putting it together as t really went well.  Thank you all for your help and baby stuff.  Its all gonna be put to use.
