Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...
We're looking at pool designs for our home and I just got the second company's idea tonight and I'm absolutely crazy about it. I thought I LOVED the first design, as I had not looked at anything else. But now I am smitten with this plan, and like it MUCH better, by a mile. Now I'm crossing my fingers that the pricing is comparable to the first. Wish us luck. How do YOU like this pool and spa design? We have an odd sized lot and I love the deck and awesome trees in our backyard, so I couldn't visualize any good possibilities and am so thankful for Dub's talent. He did awesome in my book. I just want to note that in these sketches that the exterior of our house (windows, siding, color) in Dub's pool design do not look like our casa whatsoever. The SHAPE of the house is accurate, but that's about it. Our home is red brick and in my humble opinion, is much more lovely, especially the windows he has on this sketch of our humble abode are so lame.

This afternoon I am meeting with one other guy too.
We have a love/hate relationship with our pool. Love the fun, hate the endless mantainance.
Make sure you do a salt chlorination system - for sure! It's so much better than regular chlorination, and your hair, skin, and swimming suits will thank you for it :)
p.s. I'll be right over with my suit. :)
