Mosquito bites - check, bruises - check, worked on my tan - check, great time - CHECK
OK - so my triathlon weekend of hiking, mt. biking and canoeing looked more like sleeping, eating and rocking - in a huge rocking chair on the deck overlooking the lake with a honkin' mug of coffee in the mornings. I wish I had some brilliant report of actual activities but I don't. It was pretty uneventful but that's good. It was refreshing to do the hiking, biking and canoeing without looking at my watch tor thinking I had to finish in a specified amount of time. Watch?? I didn't even wear a watch! And no rain - that was sweet.
I do have to admit I'm a tad on the competitive side so once my partner and I were in the canoe, another canoe containing a couple pimply-faced prepubescent boys wanted to challenge the "old folks" to a little race. Needless to say we smoked 'em! We were ready for heat #2, they declined........sissies.
It's been awhile since I've been on my mt. bike and the trail was pretty easy but I do appreciate how mt. biking hones my bike handling skills. I love the challenge of looking ahead and planning what I'm going to do - left side? right side? over the top? over the ledge? dismount? become one with the tree?
So let's talk music - big gig Thursday night July 3. I'm a total lunatic on the stage. Is it no wonder that I'm good friends with my chiropractor (Tracy Barnes) and massage therapist (Jennifer Simms)? They rock and they keep me in one piece. Well they both are going to be there Thursday night because since they see the results of my antics, I think they want to see for themselves how I'm beating up my body. Didn't anyone tell them that being in a band is a contact sport?
Oh.....and I so want to be a contestant on the new TV show, Wipeout.
