too long between postings

Now that my triathlon calender is officially on, its time to start training and writing more about it. Today was a great day, pounded out a 32:40 5K. Right after that, the damn dog tripped me and I landed on my knee on the concrete garage floor. Oh well, its not the first time, wont be the last. I did start the week off great, if you consider Sunday the start of a new week. I did the Jack Frost TT, a 20k effort on a flat, USUALLY windy course. This year, the Gods of wind were kind to me and it didnt pick up til after I was done. I averaged just over 21mph for the course and had an average HR of 178. I attribute it to my new aero hair cut but whatever the cause, I had a PR time of 33:11. Very proud of my achievement since the last time I was close to that time was in February, the year of my infamous injury. Next week is Stacey's birthday and she will be spending it with our sister in law at McChord AFB at a fancy schmancy dinner in honour of Andy who is still in Iraq. He is getting a couple of awards and obviously isnt there to accept them so Tammy is going to do it for him. Only 3.5 months to go until Mexico.
I got a job this week with a womens pro cycling team. I will be working with them for around 4 races, the first one being in New Mexico. I have never been there and I will be able to add two more states that I have visited as I will fly into El Paso TX then drive to Silver City NM. I guess that makes a grand total of um, 10 states I think, I have been to, flown through...... oh, wait, I flew through Houston TX before but didnt actually leave the airport so that doesnt count right?Anyway, more news...... I will be interviewing for a chiro job next week, not sure if I want it as it will only be twice a week and I need more. I emailed my employer in ATL to say I cant afford to work for her anymore but she has yet to get back to me. I cant get her on the phone or email, not sure whats up. I had an offer from her to be manager for the western states but she wanted me to do cold calls for new business and I had already told her I wouldnt do that. Maybe shes upset with me. Oh well, whaddya do?
More news. I hope to be representing Canada at the World Triathlon Championships, Olympic distance, in June. The only problem being that I have not been assessed as to the extent of my injury and they require a percentage of loss greater than 15%. My HMO doesnt have anyone in their system that does those ratings so I have to go elsewhere and have to pay for it. Kind of sucks since I dont really have extra cash for that. I have to sell one of my bikes as it is to pay for some bills, like my licence to practice, my malpractice, my cell bill, and the list goes on and on. Good thing I have lots of credit built up with a bike store I trade with, I can get a new bike.
OK, thats really it, cept if my sister reads this, "dont be afraid to call once in a while" is what I would say to her. Love ya sis,
