Sunday race day!

Hello everyone.

We hope that you are having a nice week. We have been busy hiking, swimming, running, and doing boat chores along with other real work.

Today we were having lunch on the beach when we over heard chatter about a triathlon. After asking a few more questions we learned that on 6:30 AM, Sunday there is a triathlon-sprint or olympic distance. After a few more questions we were signed up and ready to go! We opted for the sprint distance however because all we have in terms of bikes is our foldable bikes. Tomorrow Walid is pulling them out of the forward bathroom (where we have been storing them) and we are going to get them ready. Even 12 miles on the foldables is going to be pushing it for our poor butts. The swim is 750 meters-we will use our snorkeling goggles. The run is only 2 miles and we obviously have all the necessary attire and accessories for that. We are really excited and are very much looking forward to the event. We had been hoping to find more fun events like this along the way. In NYC we loved the Central Park events, in fact, we were the champions of our age group in the couples biathlon!! Walid has done a triatholon before but this will be my first. I have done 2 biathlons-1 in Central Park with my Dad and Walid and the other upstate with just my Dad. (Upstate NY I set the course record for my age group! I don't usually tell anyone that it was the first year the race was held and that I was the only person in my age group participating.)

Tonight we are having tacos on the boat with home made salsa because we can't seem to find any premade anywhere. We had hoped our avocados would be ripe enough to make guacamole but its not looking promising.

Tomorrow we are heading to a dock so we can have a few repairs done. We are looking forward to that too because the marina has a gym, yoga studio, spa, and turkish bath!

We are off to town now to run a few last minute errands before everything shuts down for the evening. (and hopefully find sour cream!!)

Have a great evening. We miss you all.
