I had a really awesome weekend. It was so busy, but so good! I had Friday off, so I had a long weekend, which was sooo nice. I saw BD a total of 4 times in the last 5 days (Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and yesterday). It was amazing! We have spent so much time together and it just keeps getting better and better!
Friday, I went to see Green Day with lj. What an amazing concert! One of the best ones I've seen to date. Then, lj and I sat in the parking lot for over an hour trying to get out of our parking space. I really don't know what the hold up was, but we could not move from our spot because of traffic and it didn't seem like anyone was moving. So, it took us a total of 1.5 hours to get from out parking spot to the 400. It took us 3 hours to get to the exaggerators from when the concert was over, so we had to cancel our Kingdom trip. There just wasn't enough time. No time in fact. By the time we got to the exaggerator's, the Kingdom was closing. Which sucks, but we'll have to go sometime soon.
On Saturday, did some shopping. Spent too much money, but I really needed some new clothes and stuff for my bike. I have been looking for a nice jean skirt for about 3 years now, and I found 2 on Saturday, so I bought them both! They were pretty cheap, so I didn't worry about it. And I bought this really cute sundress which I will wear the first time I meet BD's parents. Which I'm guessing will be sometime on the weekend possibly (his parents are currently on vacation, but will be back on friday). They are going to be surprised, I think. So much has changed since they left! Their son now has an amazing girlfriend who he adores! Yay! I really am so pleased with how well things are going. It seems like he feels the exact same way about me as I do about him. I am totally falling for this guy. Never would have expected to feel so strongly about someone so quickly, but it just happened. I'm not complaining ;)
Saturday on my way home from t-dot, I stopped in at BD's for a visit. We went for dinner and watched a movie and just hung out. I can't believe how much I miss him when we are apart, it's crazy!
Then yesterday, I had a triathlon. I did pretty well. It was just a mini-one, but it was a good accomplishment nonetheless. A bunch of things went wrong though. First, when I got to the transition after the swim, someone's bike was on top of mine. It must have been leaning on my bike and knocked it over and was on top of my bike. So that wasted a good 20 - 30 seconds of my time trying to get this bike untangled from mine. Then, I thought to make up some time, I would put on my bike gloves while on the bike. BAD IDEA! I fell off my bike while trying to put on a glove and now have some massive bruises on my legs to show for it. Never again will I try to do that. I should have taken the extra 10 seconds to put on my gloves in transition. Oops. But, I wasn't seriously injured, so I was able to get back on and keep going. Then, on the run portion, I ran off-course. There was supposed to be a volunteer stationed at this turn (I guess he was on a pee break or something), so I missed the turn. As I was running, I heard someone behind me yell that I was going the wrong way. So, I had to turn around and go back to the turn. That wasted a good minute or so right there. I was mad that there wasn't a volunteer there, but oh well. I'm glad those people behind me told me though, that could have been a lot worse! All in all, I was hoping for a time of 1 hour, and I got 1:00:30. Those pesky 30 seconds! If I didn't have so many things go wrong, I would have been able to get 1 hour no problem. Oh well.
My mom did the tri as well and she is also now hooked. We are going to do another one in Wasaga Beach on September 10th. Mom will do the give-it-a-tri and I will do the sprint. I'm looking forward to it!
Then yesterday evening, BD came over for a visit. So I spent a lot of time with him on the weekend. We've gotten really close lately. I certainly do miss him a lot when we're not together. I wonder when I will see him again, my guess is wednesday or thursday.
I am really tired, the last week of late nights is catching up with me. I haven't slept more than 6 hours per night in more than a week. I think I will go to bed really early tonight to try and catch up.

I peaked. I'll admit. Good one. With those swim times, there is no way it was only 400m, there should be some 5-6 minute times for that length. My guess is you swam at least 500 probably 600 m.
As for the 1:00:30. That is 1 hour. No one cares about the seconds. you did 1:00:xx which is what is important :) Good job! Wish I was around on the 10th, but I'm sure you'll do awesome :)
The swim time included a run up the beach to the transition area (which was a long run!) and the first transition was included in that time as well (which I was slow on since someone's bike was on top of mine). I was impressed that I got 65/106 on the swim portion. Go me!
