rather do a long ride or long run instead of shop and honestly I feel much better after a good long workout. I feel exhausted and sleepy after shopping, I was told yesterday in class by my instructor that I was not a "typical woman" whatever the heck that means. Maybe he just hasn't been around any fun girls lately :-) I got to take her for a spin this morning in the rain and harsh winds by myself and enjoyed some quite time on the road. It felt nice and I look forward to more rides......
Here is a real picture of my new toy!!
So for the past week, I have been in AIC Training (AIR INTERCEPT CONTROLLER).This is 
one of my jobs in the Navy and I am attending training to get back up to speed on the current tactics and communication formats. I truly love being in the Navy, I am very excited to get back to the operational/tactical job that I love but I really will miss being at home every night and having every weekend to play (boy have the last 2 1/2 years been nice)

This weekend my friend Allison is headed to Napa, California to compete in the VINEMAN Ironman 70.3 She is going to do awesome :-)
For the past month or longer I have been riding with her on the long weekend rides and it has been really fun. Last weekend I got in 70 miles and the weekend before Allison put in 107 and
Chris and I got a 95 mile ride in. I sure didn't expect that, I was just along for fun and it ended up that I made the whole way. Chris had initially planned on riding about 20 miles or so and you see how that turned out. Here is a picture of us on the "Windward Side" overlooking Chris' place of work "Coconut Island" Not a bad office huh? This picture doesn't do it justice, it was such a beautiful darn day :-)

This is the side of the island that I live on. I am hoping to leave from my house tomorrow for a nice ride.

You know, I was considering the Navy (and the Airforce), but the US won't take me into those either. Why do you hate Canadians? :P
ReplyDeleteTerrish! I so wish you were here with some of your bright Hawaiian style too! We gotta make a training day together sometime when I get back...
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new bike... perfect for Na Wahine :) ha ha...
Take care chica!
Awesome bike! Did you name it yet?
ReplyDeleteHey there! Your new toy is exactly what I'm now looking at! I'm a P2C right now (well, I was on a P2C, had to do a frame exchange under warranty and am now on a P2). What size frame do you have there? I was originally on a 48cm, went up to a 51cm with the frame exchange and am thinking of going back to a 48cm with the P3. I'm only 5'5", so I should probably be on the smaller bike anyway. Would love to hear how you are loving yours! :o)
