Triathlon Training



While Nadi has been busy training to be a good dog with some snazzy tricks, I decided I needed to do some training of my own.  These last couple of weeks, my sister-in-laws and I, have been training for a Triathlon.  I'm actually really excited about it.  We are doing a 64 mile bike ride in August and our Tri is in September.  Lately, we've been doing a lot of bike riding (we joined a bike club) and we just started swimming.   A couple of Saturday's ago, Kristin (my sister-in-law, pictured above) and I decided to do the Boulder City loop bike ride. This ride is about 35 miles and it's pretty intense.  The ride connects with US-93.  I've become very familiar with this highway, and there's a couple of things I can tell you about it.  The pavement is hot and rocky, and if you're going 20 miles an hour and try to get on the sidewalk you could end up looking like road kill.  Below are pictures of the injuries from my first bike wreck.  That's right....war wounds.       

     

The rest of our summer has been flying by.  Chris has been doing a lot of golfing lately and we attended a really fun wedding last week.  I'm also expected to sign my official contract with the School District in 3 weeks. Hopefully all goes well!

Nadi's still doing fantastic with all of her tricks.  She's really starting to grow fast!  For the 4th of July we took her to a pretty big party, where she got lots of socialization!!  Grandma had to rock her to sleep to get her to calm down.



Hope you enjoy Nadi's latest video!

The video was awesome! What is that clicking thing that you do when she completes a task and will it work for my 3 year old Rott?
