Not a lot to report today, other than I was busy with work all day. I'm now trying to work from home. In doing so, I find I'm working all hours of the day and night. It's like the old saying goes, "be careful what you wish for because it may come true".
Jamie and Barb came over later in the day for beers and cigars and it was the first time this year we've sat outside on the deck.
Finally the weather is starting to warm up a bit. I'm so looking forward to not having anymore cold weather bike rides. I was telling Jamie that if he's sure he'll be healthy enough to race Ironman Canada, I'd do it with him. It would be my 4th Ironman this year.
Alyssa decided she wants to have a garden and got the approval from the big boss, Alice. After dinner, her and Naziare started digging. Reid helped for a little bit and then told me, "digging with a shovel is not my passion" and decided to play video games instead.
Tonight, I actually got to bed at an reasonable hour, I have a long ride planned with Carlos and a couple of other guys tomorrow. Lying in bed, the big boss said, and I think the exact words were, "I'm sick of this Ironman racing, you need to stop". I guess she caught wind of my conversation with Jamie.
She said she's fine with the training, but no more racing. She also then got a little teary and said she constantly worries about my safety on my bike rides. I gave her a kiss and told her I'm safe, not to worry, and after IMLP, I'll take the rest of the year off from racing Ironman. Sorry Jamie, "no Ironman Canada for me" (Soup Nazi voice).
