Such a cutie!

This weekend Travis and I had the pleasure of meeting our friends Jamie and Neely's new baby boy, Kai Daggett. He's about five weeks old and doing so well. The new parents also seem to be adapting really well.

We had a great time visiting with the Daggett clan (including Moki, of course) and catching up on everything. Can't wait to see the little guy grow and change!

Lone Star 70.3 "Race" Report

The day started out well, and I was so happy to have my family and friends there to support me (and attempt to calm me down before the race, just like old times for my dad).

Clearly I did not want to be eating that banana.

Me, my sister, and my eskimo mom.

Me and Dani.  

Had a fantastic swim - second in my age group!

Annnndddd.....done. A triathlon should not end with a trip to the hospital.

After a fantastic swim, fast transition, and a great start on the bike, I crashed at mile 24 and ended up with a big gash in my head and several rough scrapes and bruises. Since I needed stitches (and probably a CT scan), they advised me against finishing. There was no way - not worth it. I was pretty bummed after training so hard (and giving up my ski season, basically), but that's life. I will redeem myself!
