I had a really fun weekend at the lake with some tri buddies and made some new friends too.
Arrival late Friday night we were lakeside by the fire and having a drink. Being the athletic group that we were, we all crashed by 11 o'clock.
The decompression was beginning.
Saturday was BIRTHDAY CAKE DAY!
We ate cake for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Yum Yum.
4 August birthdays.
Oh yeah, we also did a brick bike run and swam across the lake to a bar for drinks and appetizers.
Late night around the fire with homemade music (drums, shakers, sticks, and a didgeridoo).
Decompression nearly complete.
Sunday morning was cool and overcast...perfect for a long run. I went solo to the opposite end of the lake and back. EZ pace, good form and focus on cadence. It was a nice run through the country passed horses, corn fields, wild turkeys, and alfalfa fields.
Decompressed.

sounds like a killer weekend...
You swam to a bar!? That is the coolest thing I have ever heard. Sounds like a fun weekend.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Does sound like an awesome weekend.
I have to agree with nitsirk...you swam to a bar? that is cool...although getting back could be more of a challenge.
And cake all weekend long...absolutely...that is the way to live it up.
What a cool birthday :)
Hey I've been to the Cook Islands too so I could have been on Survivor twice LOL
You swam to a bar??? Are you sure your not from Wisconsin?
Did you have to swim back from the bar? That would be tough for me.
Yes, swimming to Spanky's bar was pretty cool. Capt. Cory piloted the escort/safety boat and drove us back to base all safe and tipsy.
Cake for breakfast lunch and dinner, that's my kinda birthday! Now I just gotta think of the nearest bar around here I can swim too... I mean, I can't let you have all the "I swam to a bar props, can I?" Oh yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thank yoau for the warm welcome. I hope you had a great a great birthday. I am looking forward to talking with everyone.
Yummmmm, CAKE! I've heard that it's just about the best workout food there is. I think that Powerbar has started putting pieces of cake in gel packets now (look for them in summer of 2008). I'm glad you got the sigh of relief that you needed this past weekend.
(Oh, and by the way, "cuarenta y cuatro" but "cuatro cuatro" works too)
Happy belated birthday!!
