100 Meter Dashing and Beach Hole Digging

This week was a test to my physical prowess. On Tuesday there was a 100-meter dash competition set up on the street right below us and after seeing them set up, my friend and I decided to enter. At this point, I wish I was a female because there were only 5 women entries so they all qualified to the finals. With the men, there were 44 of us so we had to win heats (not really, we just had to get the top 6 times.) In my heat, I was looking very good the first fifty, but lost by a hair! My one and only track experience...I did take some comfort in being .12 seconds quicker than my buddy. And after seeing the guys in the final heat, I was okay with not being with them. Better being second in a heat than last in the finals I think. I gotta say, I looked pretty good out there.

This morning we competed in the annual Bathers Beach Triathlon. A bit different than the average triathlon, this one involved swimming, running, and digging a hole. I did it in a team and was the digger of the group. It was fun, save for the fact that we got up at six to register only to find out that they pushed everything back an hour without sending an email out. Awesome! We did pretty well though, took 5ish. My hole-digging capabilities were unmatched; it’s where we made up some ground.

Take Care,
