Swim, Bike, Run....

I ran my first triathlon of the year on Sunday. It was in St. Petersburg, Florida. It went well. Considering I had only been out on the bike twice prior to the race and the ocean was HUGE for the swim, it went very well. I like to compete. It keeps my stress level low and my ego in check. I have always had a competitive nature that has manifested itself in many different forms. I would say athletics is the most healthy of the forms.

The boy and I stayed in a weird "beach resort" that was neither on the beach or very resorty. Picture the hotel from the Shining minus the twins but plus a lot of old folks from up north that the boy and I are pretty convinced were ex-mafia members and their wives. Scattered through the sea of retirees were a few young couples that looked equally as confused as the boy and I. All in all, we had a lovely and weird weekend.
