Loving: Watching the action in our duck nest.
Not Loving: Thing 1 was awakened last night by loud quacking. I checked the nest to find four eggs broken and strewn outside the nest. My heart broke. What marauding predator could’ve done this? Makes me wanna set up a night watch. Now there are 8.
Loving: They’re finally FINALLY opening an Athleta near me.
Not loving: No doubt I’ll go broke.
Loving: It’s finally nice enough to get out on my bike.
Not loving: I’m ashamed to admit I have no clue how to fix a flat. I’m even nervous reaching down for my water bottle or relaxing into the aero position. #dork
Loving: It’s race week for me. Cara Live Grit 10 is Saturday.
Not loving: I am ill-prepared at best. Seriously.
Loving: My new trisCuit performed beautifully at the pool last week. Totally comfy and the butt pad did not become heavy and diaper-like. Note: I got different shorts than the ones in the pic. Cooler ones.
Not-loving: Just found out my teeny tiny tri in <2 weeks goes Bike-Run-Swim. Swim is last. Makes sense since it’s way too cold to bike and run soaking wet after the pool swim but still, images of sinking like a stone with fatigue haunt me.
Loving: We had seafood for dinner 3x last week: sushi, salmon and scallops.
Not loving: Cooking fish stinks up the house.
Loving: It’s finally grill weather.
Not Loving: Ours isn’t yet open because somebody was glued to Master’s Golf coverage this past weekend, although I love that Jordan Spieth won.
What are you Loving? Not so much?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Athleta? Deer Park? Say it isn’t so….
1. I am sorry to hear about those eggs 🙁
2. Yes, you will go broke but you’ll look cute doing so.
3. Someone else can repair you flat tires for you.
4. Enjoy your race on Saturday!
5. Swimming at all frightens me..but have fun!
6. Salmon sounds delicious right now!
7. So does BBQ. OK, I am starving right now.
Hey and thanks for stopping by my site and giving me the spectator tip for Boston!! You rock! Have a great week!!
Aww poor little ducks, I feel bad for whatever is harassing them! Oh and if an Athleta opened near me I would surely go broke too…sometimes that is the benefit of living in the middle of no where 😛
So sad about your eggs and the little quackers who didn’t make it. I hope that whatever got them got a good bout of gastro as pay-back.
The swim is LAST?? Maybe I just don’t know enough about tris but I’ve never heard of that order before! Just remember, you’ve got the training done, so you can do it, regardless of the order.
Oh, no – so sad about the duck eggs!!! I hope that nothing gets anymore of them!!!
I rarely cook any seafood inside because I hate the smell – now that it is grilling weather we will have more again!!
Oh, such a bummer about the eggs. 🙁 Hopefully the others make it!
I know how to fix a flat, but it’s a rare thing indeed for me to be in the drops, and I still get nervous grabbing a bottle unless I”m on smooth pavement.
That tri suit looks good on you!
IM WAAAAITING for someone to give us a tip about the fishSTINK.
there HAS to be one 🙂
I love eggs. random craving now.I have never been to Athleta. I am LOVING SPRING – and hating that we hare having insane wind (80-100km wind gusts) right now. I am loving running outside without a jacket…not loving getting up early. Oh motivation!
dang! I am sorry to hear about those duck eggs! I am routing for the last 8! I am loving April but not the lightning and thunder!
I was all excited for Athleta to open near me, too. Actually, when it opened in Georgetown I drove 45 mins and paid $8 for 1 hour of parking, I was so excited. And instantly disappointed. It’s true that the stuff looks better in the catalog. Since then one has opened up even closer to me. I even became an Ambassador to get a discount. I rarely use it. Your triathlon is going from sublime to ridiculous….perhaps it should be a duathlon if it’s too cold to swim first?!!!
Loving: Your new look!
i can’t wait to have a house to grill!! our condo has one, but it’s pretty nasty and needs to be fixed and that is not a job for a lady. 🙂 i kinda like that the run will be in the middle of your tri- a good confidence booster? 🙂 loving the spring weather, hating the allergies!
