A great day!!!

Today started off cold and I thought I was getting sick, but Maria and I had our triathlon this morning in Chapel Hill. I have gotten so spoiled by the heat of the south that the low 40 temps really got my attention! We have to get there so early and since I was in the later timing to get started, there was a lot of waiting. Once I got in the pool, everything went well. It felt so wonderful to get into a heated pool after being outside! Today was 250 yards in the pool, a 9 mile bike ride and a 2 mile run. A super sprint tri, it's called.

I didn't have rubber legs this time when I got off my bike but I did a lot of walking with some sloooooowwww running in between. I had to put my stamp on the festivities, so I changed into my Gary Anderson jersey for the run part. There were a few times where I saw someone for the event taking photos while I was walking, so I was like "oh crap, another camera!" So I had to run past those people! Every part I ran, I had to twirl my towel. No fun in a Steelers jersey is complete without some Terrible Towel waving, and the Steelers fans in attendance enjoyed it!

Here are a few photos from today:

And.....if that wasn't enough to make this a great day....my Steelers kicked Cincinnati's butt 38-10 this afternoon!!!! Oh it's good to be alive!
