Sadly, I slept the day and night away yesterday. Nineteen hours total. But I finally got rid of my 24 hour flu. Another way to look at it was that I only had a one day weekend.Today I woke up feeling great. Refreshed and relaxed. My cough was even gone. I took a look at yesterdays blog post and noticed a lot of grammatical errors, which I try to avoid, but is explainable.
I had a super productive day at work. I even had some time left before the end of the day and put together my Clearwater video. It it came together quite nicely. I'll have to thank my sister. She took a lot of the video and she was really cheering me on. I still have one more video I need to do. I'm going to do a "2009 Year in Review" video to the "Triathlon Song". I think I may make this a yearly event.
I finally got my appetite back. Yesterday I couldn't eat anything. I tried a chicken wing, put it in my mouth, chewed a little and then couldn't eat it and had to spit it out into the garbage. When I got home tonight, the first thing I did was ask Alice "where are the wagon wheels that John gave me". "Down behind the bar" she said. Downstairs I went. They taste awesome.
Then I emailed John to let him know we had an extra tray of wings from the party and if he wanted them I could drop them off. John is the wing king. At the party when the wings came out and I first saw them, I turned to tell John and before I could say anything, he was already chomping on a wing like he hadn't eaten in a month. It's like he had a sixth sense for wings.
Turns out that I sent the email too early. Alice had already thrown them out. I emailed John back to let him know, I'm sure his mouth was probably still watering from the first email. His response was classic, he wrote " Threw them out, they were great wings, what's wrong with that girl"? Ten bucks John picks up wings tonight.
I also changed my avatar profile picture for 2010. I change it every year after my birthday to keep it current and representative. I see others that use there "best ever" picture from 10 years ago. Good or bad, I figure I should keep mine honest. I decided to use my Wagon Wheel picture, it only seems appropriate.
Oops, just got the "bat signal" email from Jamie. Cigar smoking room is open. Gotta go!!!

Hey B, great video, but I got to tell you, man do you ever sound like the typical canuck. I love the couple of lines where you are talking about your chain breaking and then end with the "Eh". But the best one was the how you were behind the "big Germans, Eh." LOL, I was waiting for a Stompin Tom Conor song to ring out. Great job on the video and sounds like you had a blast for your birthday. Hope I get a chance to meet you, your family and buddy John one day.
Great video! I would not expect any less! And like you said in your video, you did complete a world class performance! Another big congrats, you inspire all the rest of us to train and push for the best we can be!
Thanks B. I'm still laughing at the Eh's!!! I guess I don't notice it. I've I'm in the states for any period of time I start to adapt and get a U.S. accent. My favourite is when I go to Texas. You all!!!
For sure we got to get together one day. Stompin Tom Conor. Too funny!!!
Thanks J. As you would say "Living the Dream"!!!
inspiring. inspiring. inspiring. what you've done and your down-to-earth way of telling your story does more for IM than any tattoo could. ty for sharing and happy belated birthday.
Fantastic video of the race, and a definite world class performance. I love the 'eh's' when I hear them in the States, I always know there is a fellow Canadian close by.
B
Awesome video. You really motored on the run, passing a lot of guys.
Well done
J
Thanks R. I know your a writer so I'm "humbled" by your kind words.
P, I didn't realize about the EH! until the comments started coming in. I guess I do have a proudly Canadian accent. lol.
J, thanks for the comment. I thought I was on the only one who noticed my passing on the run. lol.
