FATHERS DAY WEEKEND

Dis wasj a great fatjhers day weekend. Good family fun with our friends Brian en Umni, Pete, Shari and Eric.

To spend some time on Saturday with family I had to start Saturday morning at 6am to do a 60mi ride. Once I had completed that the family packed up to go to a local childrens park. We had a lot of fun in this childresn oriented park (ala Efteling).

Fathersday was an early riser, breakfast with the family, picked up by my friend Eric and onto a very cold Ocean swim. This is always a lot of fun with a bunch of traithletes jumping in the cold water coach out on his canoe etc. Things went well as I was able to keep up a bit with the others, whereas in the past I either was in the middle of the pack or had to exit the water with cramps. After the swim we did one of the nicest trail run in the bay area Nisene forest, lead by a great runner Barb - roots - roots - roots. Took a tumble nevertheless.

Maureen waited at the end of the run where we had lunch with a whole group. Children - Chaos - Food everywhere - typical fathers day fun. After that we spend some time with friends at the Boardwalk.

We arrived home at the end of the day, had a nice dinner, put the kids to sleep and I could even watch a great ball game on TV!!! The kids seem to finally be in the zone to go to sleep fairly easy.

This was a good weekend. This week will be a tough one, got sales targets to hit, and got a big race coming up in the weekend thus a high intensity workout week. Tomorrow I get up at 5:20am to get in a swim. Wish me luck!
