Oh Dear!

Oh Dear!

The last post on here was the 16th of July! One day before Mayhem began! Sunday the 17th I drove to Vegas with my dad and rode the NY NY roller coaster. Monday the 18th we drove the rest of the way to the shipping company in San Diego, dropped the car off, rode the city bus to downtown and walked to the airport. Took a one way flight back to Denver, met back up with Aaron, Autumn and my mom. Tuesday the 19th we went to the butterfly pavilion, took naps, ate dinner with the whole family and finished getting all our stuff ready for the plane. The 20th we flew to Kona on different flights, registered the car (another story), looked at an apartment and crashed at a friends coffee shack. The 21st we took showers with the chickens and then looked at 6 rentals and chose one to live in, moved to another place to spend the night because we have a suspicion that Autumn is allergic to the cats at the coffee shack. The 22nd we shopped, played at the pool, picked up a queen bed, pack all our stuff and moved into our new unfurnished condo.

Oh, exercise - a friend of the near past... Finally on the 23rd I hoped on my bike and joined my triathlon friends on a long killer bike ride up Napoopooo - 2100 feet and 18.5 miles. Lungs felt pretty good - legs were pretty done for!


Sunday we did a free sprint triathlon - it was not the smoothest - but we had a lot of fun. We got there around 7 and thought the race started at 8 - to find out it started at 7. We barely made the start. Isaiah smoked the swim, but waited for us. This was my first open water since March and it actually felt pretty good - about 1/2 mile. The bike was not bad, but then the run... my legs didn't think it was such a good idea. They were in cement mode for about the first 2 miles, then the loosened up and the last mile was not so bad!

So, that was Sunday - today is Saturday and I don't have much to show for the week. Although I did hike for 3.5 hours today getting lost on the side of Hualalai! Fun stuff! I'm trying not sweat it to much - as I had to work and all my other time has gone to friends or trying to find furnishings for our house. Tomorrow I plan to swim at Kailua bay before I go yard sale-ing and then run at some point.
