The Jeep


We bought a Jeep. Its a 2002 6 cyl 5 speed with a soft top. We took it for its first adventure on Saturday- 6 hour bike race and camping. So far, The Jeep gets an A for funness and also bike carrying ability. Sideburnz figured out how to secure our bike wheels to the sides of the jeep. It looked like we were heading out to the bush. Unfortunately no one remembered to take a picture. Next time...

We are presently thinking of a name for the jeep. I suppose we need to drive it some more so we can find out what kind of personality it has.

First Triathlon

Big news! I completed my first triathlon over the weekend, finished 15th over all and 2nd in my age group. Full results are here. Funny thing- I was 171st in the swim, 8th on the bike and 18th in the run. Not bad for my first attempt. My transition times were even competitive! This sounds like trouble... photos will get posted later.
