This is a photo that was taken this summer, but I told someone I would post it. Smap and I volunteer at this Sprint Tri every year (actually he does...last year I raced it, and this year I just pumped up tires...I guess that was helping?).
So, also pictured in this photo is my famous evil twin sister Larkin. She is the one in the previous photo on the funny photo blog. I wasn't kidding that I actually have a twin. She really isn't evil either. My dear sweet pup is standing with his favorite aunt (because she looks and sounds like me, but he can acutally tell the difference between the two of us) and an old friend from high school and college, Nick. Nick came to us for a week from a small base on a beautiful island (I can only suspect) off the mainland of Japan (Okinawa). Smap actually took it upon himself in the summer of 06' to help Nick get a new Trek road bike sent over there from our bike shop. It took Smap and myself about a month to figure out the paperwork involved to get it sent. It then took another 3-4 weeks for poor ole' Nick to get it! We were so relieved when he got it. He started doing triathlons on th road bike instead of an old mountain bike (I think that was the story?). Anyway, I had a great time riding that week with Nick (we loaned him a bike from CBC while he was here to train and race on). It is awfully weird how much Smap and Nick resemble each other in this photo huh????
We hope to see you again soon Nick if you are out there!!!!
Here is my Dad! This photo was taken of him working with other medical missionaries in the Amazon. He has been out of the practice of medicine for some time, so this trip was a blast for him. He LOVES medicine. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to go with him to help. He was the only doctor on this trip. Pretty cool huh?
Smap and I don't have much planned for the weekend except for a lot of riding our mountain bikes. I can't tell you the last time I rode my road bike more than 5 miles in a day (I ride my road bike to commute to school three days a week usually). Riding the road has become boring for me lately. I think it is because I am just in love with my single speed. Cleaning stuff for the first time and descending down steep technical rooty stuff is just so much more of a rush than just pedaling on concrete/asphalt. I am hoping this weekend we will get down to the Ocoee Whitewater Center. Those trails are fast and F-U-N!!!
What a cute husband!
