racing

I have been slacking on the blog a little bit...just haven't felt like writing for some reason!  We got back from California late Tuesday night and I've been trying to catch up on sleep since.  Ryan did great in his race - it was Vineman 70.3 (technically a 1/2 Ironman), which is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 1/2 marathon run.  Swimming has been his weakness for years, but he has really made some huge breakthroughs in the past month with open water swimming.  He did the swim in less time than I thought he would, which was evident by the fact I didn't see him come out of the water and he had to wave at me to get my attention!  I was really, really proud of him.  The trip was really a combo fun/race trip, so we did have fun and downtime as well.  We met with a few winemakers and visited a few wineries (so Ryan can write off the trip).  We ate some good food and drank some good wine, which is most important!  I seriously overindulged on food, and am paying the price this week.  Gotta go put the kiddos to bed now!
