Little Miss Runner Pants

if that's not the look of one happy chick, than i don't know WHAT is!!!

... yesterday was my FIRST. OFFICIAL. DAY (as in entire 24 hour period) of being an austinite, and to celebrate Curly Girl, Computer Guy (the roomies) and his girlfriend Singer Chick and i all went out to Shady Grove where we were met up by Granite Boy, Curly Girl's date, and Construction Guy... Granite Boy's brother...

(mother of god its hard to keep these names straight!!!)

anyway... Granite Boy and Construction Guy = highly attractive. omg. and so much fun. just so much, entirely TOO much fun.

afterwards Curly Girl went with the fellas to some bar and the rest of us went home... and TODAY...

its more unpacking.
and a wee bit of shopping...

and then RACE PREP!!!

because why spend more than 72 hours in austin without racing when you don't have to, right?!

so, for those who might want to know...
Computer Guy and i have signed up for the Couple's Tri...

to explain....
Using a format that is unique in the sport of triathlon, teams of two, whether they be friends, spouses, or family members combine their ages and sign up in the appropriate category. Each person on the team does the entire triathlon, and then their times are combined for the overall results.

fun, huh?!?

we've named our team "gimme a whataburger"... for obvious reasons... and hopefully neither of us will die!

it'll be Comp. Guy's second ever tri, and my first since IMKS (which um.. yeah. training since then!? more or less non existent. so it should be interesting.)

its an 800 meter swim, 11.2 mile bike, and a 5k... nothing major. although 800m swim kinda gives me the willies... but i keep reminding myself i did 1.2miles... i should be able to swim 800m just fine.

... one would hope.

but so anyway, that's the plan. Curly Girl just informed me we're making sandwiches and heading to Zilker Park with the pups, so i guess i should get going.

DAMMIT! i friggin LOVE THIS TOWN!
