2) I found a Tri coach. Once again, I freaked a little after signing up for the Half Ironman and experienced the same panic I felt after registering for the Ultra. Basically, "Crap! What did I do? I could die during the swim..." So I'm meeting with him on Sunday for my first swim evaluation. While I'm not going into these Tris trying to win them, I do want to do my best and that all starts with the swim. I need to leave the water feeling great so I can kick butt on the bike and run. If I'm not efficient in the water, that's not possible. So it's about time the pool and I worked on our relationship.
3) I realized just how small of a world it is this week. After connecting with someone local through my blog, who is also starting to train for her first Tris this summer, we found each other on facebook. Well, of course the first thing I did was check out her album of pics called "running." Imagine my shock and surprise when the FIRST picture I looked at was this...
This pic is from the Philadelphia Distance Run 2009 and yes, that's me. No, not in the background, but right there smack dab in front, that's me!! What are the chances? Of course, I immediately emailed her asking if she's stalking me. Which I would totally understand and be ok with if she was. But no such luck, just a crazy coincidence. You never know who you will end up meeting in this world and when your paths crossed (literally) before meeting.

Congrats on getting yourself a tri coach. I can only imagine how beneficial that is going to be in your training.

#3 no way!! too funny! I have a similar funny story...one day at work i needed a specific picture for a power point i was making...so went to google image, typed in what i was looking for and who is staring back at me but Marlene (mission to another marathon)!!!
Ummmm, I think that would scare me.
We do live in a very small world.
And YES, I would get a home computer for just those things. The little netbooks are not too bad.
Personally I think it's great that I seem to be stalking you as Stevie Wonder ;)
That is too funny. How weird to see a pic of yourself when you don't expect it!
