Rained Out Race, But Happy Face....

Yesterday, Memorial Day Monday, was supposed to be the CapTexTri in Austin.  It's always a fun triathlon for me!  We swim in downtown Town Lake, bike in the streets directly in front of the beautiful Austin Capital Building, and run a flat, fast 10k course to the finish at Auditorium Shores!  Yesterday we were not lucky enough to compete due to heavy rains.  The conditions in the water were unsafe, and the roads would have been too wet for the thousands biking around some tight turns.  However, I had one of the funnest weekends I can remember.  My friends Kathleen Ebert and Liz Supples were in town from Boulder, Colorodo to do the race.  We spent a lot of time eating at Ausitn restaurants, seeing downtown, and swimming at Austin landmarks such as Deep Eddy Pool.  We had such a blast together, they said the trip was worth it anyway.  I also got to introduce them to my amazing husband and kids!  I guess the race wasn't meant to happen, but I am counting my blessings to have a great family and close friends to be with in this short life.  Have a great week!
