Triatló Sprint de Vilanova i la Geltrú
This is way due... don't even remember the details :(
Yes... I did it! I am a sprint distance triathlon FINISHER! And I did that in 1:53 and a few seconds... not good but not bad either!
It was a lovely day, perfect weather, perfect place, lovely company... I set out at my own pace, as usual and surprised myself after swimming without any walls to hold on or anything and feeling it "wasn't that hard at all", LOL! Bike ride was tough and run was a 5K PR for me... amazing, and more so after the swim and the bike ride :D
Lots have gone on since... not sports wise as I have hardly done anything but definitely work wise. Started a new job on October 20th and so far I'm loving it! I work with really nice people with a wonderful sense of humor and I just feel useful and handy :D
Kids are doing good. Pol's 3 already. They're sweet and cute. I love them! We spent Friday night in Barcelona as Paula was invited to a sleep over birthday party and the boys and I stayed at a hotel, it was a nice experience! Then the other part of the party, Ikea, home to a quiet evening. This am Paula run her first ever cross country race and did great and what's more important... she loved it! In the afternoon I took Paula and Jan to the movies... we came home and just had fun while it rained out there!
Election day today... not good...
Trying to get myself together and resume my running. I miss it! So far, I am dropping out from my 10K next Sunday in Barcelona. I haven't trained and don't want to be suffering out there. I'll do cross country instead (just a little over 4kms). I do need to get studying too... eek... work's piling up!
Proud and happy to be sorrounded by great people though!

My day Monday
Well... a busy weeks lies ahead for sure... This was my Monday:
Overslept a little, up at 8:15, rush, rush, rush to get kids ready. About to leave for school and Paula asks about snack... shoot... I'd totaly forgotten about it. I got it ready in a jiffy and headed to school. We obviously got there late :(
Off for coffee (ATM first) with Mònica and Jana before a work interview at 10.
Interview at 10. Out at 10:40. Came home for an hour before another interview/meeting at 12. Out at 12:40. Home to grab a bite to start classes at 1:30pm. Out of school at 3:30pm, on to the mall to get my new lenses, back home, get snack ready for the kids, back to school to pick them up. Paula goes to a friend's house. Bathing kids, dinners, pick Paula up... what a day...
But here's Tuesday (I know the title only says Monday buy hey...) Wake up early and wake kids. Off for blood work at 8:30 (hubby takes care of the kids, yay!) Back home at around 9:15. Breakfast, decluttering and tidying up a bit. 10:30 I leave for St. Gregori to go for a run. Back home at noon, quick shower, quick bite and off to school to start classes at 12:30. Out of school after 2 very hectic groups at 3:30. On to the grocery store. Shopping. Home at 4. Lunch! Put shopping away, get snacks ready and off to pick kids up. Take Paula and Jan to gymnastics, do Paula's hair. Come back home. Drop Pol off (in the bath) and off to give a class until 7:30pm. Back home, pick up and off to school for parent's meeting at 8. Back at 9:30pm. Kiss kids goodnight. Dinner and long talk with hubby... In bed at 1 am... eek!
It is Wednesday am... so far, I've seen kids off (daddy takes them to school!). Working on 2nd load of laundry. Had breakfast. Will now go swimming. Class at school 1:30-3:30 and at another school 4:30-5:30, back home, baths, dinners, and parent's meeting (last one, thank goodness!) at 8. Early bedtime is in the agenda!
Tomorrow Thursday, 3 classes 12:30-3:30, pick kids up at 5, take them to gym, mommy group until 7:30 or so, back home, dinners and baths, pick Paula up at 8:30... and... at 3:20 am (yes! That's Friday already) I have an MRI scheduled on my knee. Another busy (and tired day on Friday) with a 6-7:30pm class in the afternoon. Hoping to rest on Saturday as I will be doing (hopefully) my very first sprint tri on Sunday.
So, how's your week???

Touched by an angel
Life is certainly full of ups and downs. It is often said not to give up as what you're looking for could just be around the corner, or just closer than you think so you've got to keep trying. And I so agree. When you least expect it, good things happen. And that's happened to me. I've been touched by an angel and boy, does she bring a smile to my face everyday! Thank you Eva!!!!!
More London!
These are the official photos from the race. Love the fact that I finished, that I PR'd (although the time is far from being decent) and that I'm willing to do it again next year and the following and so on :p
My sort of breakdown as to call it appears to be an insuline peak and I'm still extremely tired and not 100% but I'm doing ok. I managed 500m swimming yesterday and I felt really good!
Hoping to resume some running and biking as I will be doing my very first SPRINT tri on Sunday, Oct. 9th. I better get going!
I am starting to teach a class this afternoon with 8 first graders, wish me luck, eek! And then as of Monday, the regular classes at midday, Mon-Thurs. 16 hours a week altogther, plus one or two more could be added. Plus my 12 classes at university... eek! Plus being a mom and of course... TRAINING!!!! I really need to make a nice schedule to fit it all in!
