Update...

I think I accidentally just posted this blank... sorry for the tease.

I guess I owe an update on many areas of my life... First and foremost, the triathlon.

Aside from all the hydrocarbons I'm sure I ingested from the man-made baytown lake I swam in, the competition was a SUCCESS! We had a killer team. Chad and Joey kicked tail, and we walked away winners!
Just a glimpse...

Chad, me, Joey (runner, swimmer, cyclist)
I've just been branded and am starting to feel nervous!
Picture of the swim course finish. Yes, by the time I was swimming I was staring straight into the sun.
Our #1 supporter/photographer Stan and the team!

sink or swim...




So I have been roped into pulling the swim leg of a triathlon relay this Sunday...
and by roped in I mean, Chad called me, asked, and I quickly replied yes.

I don't think my team realizes, however, how long it has actually been since I've swam-- "500 meters" swam. Granted I am going to go practice at Ballys later today, but I haven't competitively swam since A&M swim class.

There are certain elements to a triathlon swim that I assume will be quite interesting.
Here are some of the questions running through my mind...
How far will I be able to see underwater?
How many people will "accidentally" kick me in the face?
How quickly will cellulite disappear?
Will I get caught swimming with a circle of slow people around me?
How do you train for a 500 in just a few days?

I'll let you know how it goes...

and already hard at work.

"WE WERE ON A BREAK!"

Thought I'd throw a little shout out to the few who faithfully checked my blog and quietly took me aside to ask where it went. Thanks for the encouragement! I've decided to bring it back!

No promises as far as frequency or hilarity...

Many things have happened since the blog vacation...

I found out I was TB negative.

My brother Mark went away to Brooks Institute of Photography for school (see amazing pictures on his website www.markturnerphoto.com).

I booked two plane tix to California for October. A week after I booked the tix, San Fran had an earthquake...

AND big finish...
I spent about one month's rent on the plumbing in my apartment.

yes, it's a major misrepresentation but that's all you're getting right now...

if you are in houston Thursday 7/26/07,
go to this @ 7:30pm...

details on website...




thanks and gig'em
