Tick-tock

My sister was delivered home from her stay at her facility on Monday. She seems to be settling in to her new outlook fairly well, but she knows (and we know) that she has to take it one day at a time. There are a lot of issues laying under the surface there, and time will tell if she can handle them or if they send her spiraling back to the dark place.

I just got back from checking on our place in Maine. House was in good shape, weather was pretty nice, and I was able to do two really nice, hilly rides and a good run and a good swim while there for three days. Rode my touring/training bike, and I am glad I did since the frost heaves did havoc to the roads up there. Lots of monsta pot holes. It was nice to ride, though. Got back and signed up for my first race post surgery next Saturday. So far, I have:
DQ Tri in Vincentown, NJ (July 12th)
NJ State Tri later in July
Maine State Tri on August 3rd
Timberman Sprint on August 17th
A new race in our town in early Septmeber. Not sure of the date or details.

I am excited to get to race, but I am also nervous. Feel good, running well, cycling well, swimming pretty good, so I may as well go for it and see what happens. I will zing a race report after the DQ tri. Later!
