Triathalon dry run!!

Just got back from the mini triathalon (tri for fun) in pleasanton. The winner finish time was 58:15. Mitch and I think our biggest issue is the Swim. I am frankly scared of the swim and unless I can do 10 laps at the pool without a break, I dont think I can do this. I need to really increase the rate of training to possibly 4 times a week.

Anantha & Pushpa visit

Anantha & Pushpa along with Asha visited us today. It was a whole lot of fun chatting with them. We all had an excellent South Indian dinner and it was a good break for them from the rigors of unpacking. I enjoyed the free and open conversation...its easy to talk to people you have such a comfort level with.

Asha is still the firebrand I knew so full of energy!! I am glad that they moved, I certainly need more friends in this area!!

I also became a member of netip today: www.netip.org

July 4th

Oops.. didnt really plan for the long weekend. A tentative plan to visit Bart & Liz at Bart's dad's farm in Kansas fell through. The main issue was the high cost of airfare to a small town in Kansas at short notice. So I will have to find another time to play farmer.

So the only fun thing I did this weekend is watch the fireworks with Aimee. I managed to hookup with Tania at Shoreline but then she had to wait for Chris. So Aimee and I hiked up a nearby hill and had an excellent view of the fireworks!! Wish they were longer...
