My first Tri since April 2010

So back in April 2010 I did Beaverdam in Raleigh and competed for the first time in the Athena category b/c I was over 150lbs...yep, I refuse to race against 125lbs gals b/c the extra 25-30lbs I carry over these girls is a real disadvantage on both the bike and the run...I am still in the 160s...just right at 160-162lbs so yeah still 10-15lbs over where I would like to be and still not going to race against all the skinny girls...

So Yesterday I did my first tri since April 2010, it was fun, I signed up about 3 weeks ago so yeah I just started swimming again and running...the 5km yesterday was the first 5km I actually ran the whole thing b/c I have been taken walk-breaks around the 2 mile point...
So I won the Athena category (Yeah) but here is the kicker, I decided not to wear a watch so I would not worry about my time and get caught up in how I am doing, my pace etc...plus we are wearing chips so I figure I can see how I did later when the post the findings....so today I checked online, b/c I didn't even know my finish time, I did the 400m swim, 11 mile bike, and 5km in 1:16:13.  So I see that and I am super excited...but here is the crushing part, I am one of the 1/3 of races that the chip didn't work...ugh...so I have no idea other than I did the swim in just shy of 8 min...7:54...ugh...I just wanted to see my run time...I kinda know my bike time is about 36 minutes b/c I had my bike computer on but didn't reset it so I know I did about 36 minutes...so if I calculate 38 (with transition) and 8=46 so that means I did the run in  ~30 minutes...

Still hate that I don't have something official but oh well, guessing will have to do.

So on Matthew, I think we are regressing on the sleeping, he was sleeping better at 3 months than right now...we are up every 1.5-2hrs...it totally sucks...he wants to eat or snuggle, he will not sleep in the crib, if he sleeps with me he stays still for about an hour then starts kicking me, so yeah I am basically sleeping less than when Matthew was just born...ugh...luckily now that I am not breastfeeding I can basically drink Caffeine all day.

Ok, the little monster is up so gotta go.
