Almost Normal…Nah!!!
by admin @ Rolln' with my Homies in IronTown
I can almost remember what it feels like to be a 'normal' person again!! Mike and I had a GREAT weekend pretending we were normal people! It all started because Mike ended up working late (1:30am!) on Friday night. He got home and we decided it would be best for our physical (we've both been getting over a slight cold) and mental health to bag the trip to Santa Cruz for a 100 mile ride. After a few false starts of getting out of bed we finally rolled out around 8:45...and believe me, that's sleeping in for these two triathletes! We decided we'd do a short ride starting from our house; we ended up getting in close to 40 miles (with one latte stop in Los Gatos). I'm telling you, latte stops should be mandatory! We got home and i decided i was going to be domestic for the day...i wanted to make a nice dinner and have friends over. So we called a couple of friends and lined up a yummy dinner! We grilled some Orange Ruffie, roasted some potatoes, made a lovely salad and opened the vino! By the end of the night the food was gone and the wine never stopped flowing! Woke up Sunday morning with a vague recollection of how many bottles of wine we drank and a realization that there was NO WAY we were going to make it to the workout. Yup, that means i fell right back to sleep! When we finally rolled out of bed, we decided we would get in our daily workout by taking Sophie to Stanford! During the festivities the night before we broke one wine glass so a trip to the Stanford mall was required! On the way home from our afternoon adventure we stopped for sushi and decided to go see a movie! Now, mind you, we haven't been to the movies in over 6 months, so this was a true attempt at 'normalcy'!
Although being 'normal' for a weekend was a wonderful treat, i think we both missed the Team! We're really looking forward to a fun weekend of training at Lake Berryessa this weekend! So much for normal...normal sucks!
