Hyannis Sprint II

So here it is..my first tri:  .25S / 10B / 3.6R in 1:26.  My time was very mediocre, but it was FUU-UUN!  Yes, I'd say I'm hooked.  For any of you thinking about doing it....DO IT!!  

5am heading trans wetsuit first wave

Headed out at 5:45am for the 7:00 start.  Couldn't have asked for better weather and the course was picture perfect late-summer-new-england.  The open water was pretty dang frightening for some reason.  I knew I could swim the distance, but something about the current and the constant fear that you were swimming off in the wrong direction...not to mention the swarms of people you.  It was all of 2 minutes before I decided to forget the time.  My new objective:  just get to shore alive and enjoy the rest of the race...which, thankfully, I did.    

And a shoutout to the hubs who, despite a deadline at work and recent late late nights, came out with me, stayed the night and got up at a god-forsaken hour, just to see me run around for a little while.  Whadda guy!

Volos 2006 (and a little bit of Corfu).  Blessing all around.

It's all a bit much for a post, but we were enormously blessed and miss it all already.  Looking forward to telling y'all about it in person (if we haven't already).     

       

       

       

       

Here's the rest, if you're so inclined:  http://picasaweb.google.com/cholee    Enjoy!

On the road...

...to my first sprint tri with this baby:

It's the Specialized Allez Sport Triple.  Don't know what that means exactly, but I like the sound of it.   And I have it on good authority that it's a speedracer that will get the job done in style.  Counting down to Sept 9 - the Hyannis Sprint II Triathlon. 

Other countdowns of note:  3 days until we leave for Volos, 11 days until we land on Corfu, 54 day to the ChaKang wedding, 74 to the annual Labor Day reunion...and all kinds of good stuff in between.  Happy Summer everyone!

*SWEET FOURTH*

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

In keeping with our theme.....

 

(front & back of rich's card)

Yes, it's the annivesary of fruit!  Evidently the "of the loom" variety counts as well.  Four years and counting....How sweet it is!

   

One of our favorite moments - Jimmy's toast.

BUT TODAY ...we raise our glass to the Woos and toast to the arrival of  JONAH WOO in all his 5lb. 2oz. glory, who came into the world yesterday.  Mom and Dad report that everything is well, despite his early appearance.  Jim also reports that Jonah looks just like mom and wails like a lamb.   

Congratulations!! We love you guys!...and we'll see you soon. 

**

edit:  some "anniversary comic relief".  looks like the boys had some trouble....bahahha!
