SOOOO, what has changed since my last real post:
1. No Ironman...I did actually go see the Lake Placid Ironman - my brother did actually do the race - like 11:50. Here are some pretty cool shots from the day:
Lake Placid is pretty cool - snow all year round!
MTH and MMH with Mirror Lake in the background (LP ironman swim is in this really clear and calm lake)
Stud bro MDH on his Rocket Ship (aka Cervelo P2C).
MDH Starting the Run...only 26.2 miles to go.
Finishing!
2. However, I was able to do a Half Ironman...or a full musselman!
KSH and MTH prior to starting...looking so happy.
Me thinking - "I used to do a mile in under 16 minutes?!?"
Me Thinking: Time for a nice leisurely bike ride around central NY.
Me thinking - this run might be trouble.
Me thinking - where is the beer?
3. Other stuff happened:
I (we) bought a house in the Fan district in Richmond, VA. Quite a change from Alexandria...very different. I miss DC, but our house is pretty neat - about 100 years old in a neighborhood which features restaurants, bars, art galleries, museums, large parks, pocket parks and the largest University in Virginia (VCU).
We went to Ireland with SM and JR - This is from a Church in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Belfast is a very interesting place to visit...cannot wait to go back.
This is the world famous Blarney Castle...what is it that you do at Blarney?
That's Right you kiss the Blarney Stone (must have been scary before the safety grate!).
Also we drank...in this case Murphy's in the Mutton Lane Inn in Cork. This funky bar was located down a tiny side street which the sheep used to use to run through the city.
More later....
