Good swiim this morning -felt good to just swim w/o counting the milage for a change. Very busy day at work -couldn't get on BT till now. Just came back from the vets with the kitty "Charlie" seems he does not have stress fracture or broken bone but a soft tissue injury due to jumping off the couch with his full body weight (which we found out is embarrasingly near obese) and landing funny. Yes -I paid the vet $229.00 to tell me my cat has a big fat ass! lol :) Anyway we got him some anti inflam. meds and they did blood work cause his throid was a little swollen (which may explain the B.F.A. diagnosis). Told us to keep him from jumpping for the next week or so (right). 

Warning: Items may appear closer in BT blog ;)

Cut my run a little short so I wouldn't miss the start of the webcast of the race. Watching it right now -looks amazing out there -wish I was there! Getting me very motivated for next season. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. :)

HIM photos are up in my album -FYI :)

Can someone please send out search and rescue to Fort Pond in Montauk? I seem to be missing  my swim form, must have left it at the race. Please inform me when you recover it -Thanks! Spent 30 minutes or so in the pool flapping around and sinking like a ship -WTF could not keep my hips up to save my life. Wonder if this is common post HIM issue. HAHA, luckily I don't need to swim for my upcoming marathon!

Well, after a little reserach and reading up on RR from the BT site, I've decided back on IMFL. Even though I'll do better in still water, the location, temperture and access to registration all make it the best option for me. I was considering IMKY and IMAZ in Nov. but since I'm a BOP and race to finish not to win it's probably ok. Also, since we treat my races like family vacations Florida is a much better post race location. So, if I get a slot, I'll be competing 2x in FL this year -Jan. for the marathon and Novermber for IMFL. We'll see -now on to the BT forum to figure out when the streaming begins for Kona tomorrow -woohoo!
