Family Alive

Good weekend.  And even better, good sleep last night!  Woohoo!  Going to bed last night wasn’t pretty because my kiddos were up late while we had a meeting here.  But Josiah only woke up once, and both kids slept until 7am.  Yeah!!!  I feel like a new woman.  And yesterday, I was feeling like I had a cold about to hit me, so I was just dreading waking up feeling terrible this morning.  But I don’t, so that makes me feel even better.  The week is starting off well!

Brian’s races were good… I’m sure he’s planning on a little post to summarize it eventually, but here’s my side of the story:  In Saturday’s race – full of good racers and a couple pros – he was in all the early breakaway groups, but they eventually got caught.  Then the chain dropped on his bike, and while he was pedalling through to fix it at the back of the group, a break got away, and they were the eventual 4 winners.  Bummer!  But in the finish sprint for the main pack (his group) he got 5th, so 9th overall, which was still "in the money".  Yeah!

We got back at 11:30 (adjusted time) Saturday night for a short night before a busy morning at church.  I didn’t go to the afternoon race, but he did pretty well.  One of his teammates was in the breakaway group, and ended up getting 2nd, while Brian got 7th.  Good weekend.  He’s pretty pleased with it overall, I think.  He raced long and hard both days, so it was great training for other multi-day races coming up. 

Ok, gotta go enjoy my Monday with my sweet kiddos.  Have a good one!
