Los flores fiero

So, on May 3-4 I was in Lake San Antonio for the Wildflower Triathlon with the UC Davis triathlon team of which I am a member. I did the long course triathlon which consisted of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. I really screwed up the nutrition part of the race. I had too much food by the time I was on the run and had to run 5-6 miles with awful cramps, it slowed me down by about 10 minutes, methinks. My total time was 5:39, not too hot, but whatever, I was just doing it because I have never done long course before. My roommate, Ben, Jesse and his friend also did the long course. A lot of other people from the team (over 10) did the olympic race, which is shorter. Anyway, I also got a really bad sunburn and almost crashed on the bike, twice, so I have to work on that.

So, from April 22-27, I was in Seattle visiting my gf, Dara Haagens. We had our 2nd anniversary on the 26th. We did some stuff and we went to see Cirque Du Soleil on the 26th, which was amazing. Yeah...I tend smooch my gf quite a bit and do that whole lovey-dovey thing and sometimes it annoys other people, but sometimes I just can't help myself. While I was up there and Dara was at work (she works as an architect/interior design person) I would do some long bike rides, about 48 miles or so in length in preparation for the Wildflower long course triathlon.
Anyhow, I forgot to mention that the weekend of the 19th, I met Dara and her parents in Eugene because Dara got into the Masters of Architecture program at University of Oregon. She decided that she is going to defer enrollment, so she won't go to school there until next year.
