Race plans

On April 29, I posted that I'd be back with plans and news soon. I didn't know then that it would be months before I'd have a race plan, or any news. I think the news I was referring to was a house, but I honestly don't remember.

On June 7, I told you all that I was tired because of my low ferritin. I didn't know then that there was also another reason (but only just).

On June 10, I failed to tell you about our new house. But we have one, and it's great! It has a backyard, and a TRAINER room and a massive garage for all our bikes. All the important stuff.

On June 26, I posted about an outside ride. I didn't tell you that it was one of the most terrifying rides of my life, or that I rode slow and easy for a reason.

And on August 9, I told you that things had been quiet on the training front, and active on the carb eating and waist thickening front. I omitted to mention that all of things were not just about winter.

It's August 24 now, and I finally have a race plan to announce. I'll be participating in the Tauranga City to Surf 12km on 25 September 2011. I'll be racing with another wonderful tri-tweeter, and although we'll look like a team of two from behind, you'll be able to tell we're a team of four from the side.

Yep, you read that right.  This Hotpotato's making a Hotpotato-chip.
