Is it any wonder I'm tired? Is it any wonder I'm uptight?

I survived yesterday's 10K, and am not feeling too terribly today. My time was 2:21:27 (and no, that second colon is not a mistake--that's 2 hours, 21 minutes and 27 seconds), which placed me 6th overall, 21 minutes behind the winner (who's an Olympian from Venezuela, by the way). Full results are here--the last finisher was in the water 4.5 hours.

After the races, awards (I won my age group!), and lunch, I arrived home to find my new upstairs neighbor (and 6-10 of her closest friends/family) moving into her apartment (along with 6 cars, taking up all the spaces at our small complex). So, I wasn't really able to get a nap, which was fine.

Rest of the day was uneventful. Oh, I should mention that the swim was staged from the Miami Rowing boathouse, and in their rowing venue (there's was a bunch of shells about... made me miss rowing, more). Regretfully, Virginia Key, where the house is, a ways away, and there's a pesky causeway toll (which, amazing, I guess correctly would exist, so I had money to pay for it). Ft. Lauderdale Rowing, however, should be way closer...

Oh, and the coolest part of the weekend: I found $40 in my wallet this morning--love that.


Sometimes, it's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Or maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
Sometimes, I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in children's rhyme...
