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.

We had an excellent salad bar where about 30 women brought some of their favorite ingredients for the ultimate salad, and there were about 50 who attended. I hope it was a nice, uplifting evening for everyone. I think it went well. Now our committee gets to have a little break until the next one in June.

I was planning on coming, and then I came down with something Wednesday and Thursday. I thought it was the flu, I felt so horrible. It seems to have turned into a normal cold, though, thank goodness.

Our RS birthday dinner is tonight. Julie and I are both providing the place settings for 2 tables plus bringing cakes. Julie is making a most divine from-scratch chocolate/Nutella cake and I am making a (scratch of course) scrumptious lemon cake....Yummmm!
