This weekend I will be racing the New Orleans 70.3. I did this race last year as evidenced by...
...BEIGNETS!!!
Unfortunately, my mom and Oscar are not joining me this year. But I am traveling and staying with Pittsburgh friends and they too probably like BEIGNETS!
I have several goals for this race. Here are some of them:
1) Swim. Yes, this seems like a relatively easy goal to achieve. But after Oceanside, you have to admit, it's legit. Because whatever I was doing in the Oceanside Harbor a few weeks back couldn't possibly be considered swimming!
2) Beat Chad and Jeremy to the finish line. Lucky for me I have a 22 minute head start. Do you think I can do it?? It will be close and that is SO FUN! :)
I do have a few more goals than this. But these are the most notable ones. More than anything I want to continue to learn and have fun and smile and be thankful for the opportunity that racing is. Also, I want to eat lots of beignets!
Best of luck to all racing this weekend in NOLA and beyond! Pro race #2, HERE WE GO!
Have fun and GO FAST!!
ReplyDeleteGo Beth!!!
ReplyDeleteCount Michelle and my mom and I in for the BEIGNET trip! I am so excited for these. Here we go again! It does seem like it was just race week. Whew...our lives rock! Happy taper!
ReplyDeleteAll I can think about right now is beignets! Maybe I should pack first! Happy happy taper:)
ReplyDeleteHave fun in NOLA!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, good call on racing Chad. I was racing a PR time last year of someone from here at IMLou, worked like a charm and kept me focused :)
ReplyDeleteFor the swim, just swim! You are a GREAT swimmer. Don't overthink it!
Doesn't it seem like once the first race happens, the rest come at you in rapid succession??
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend and have a great time in NOLA!! :)
Have a GREAT race this weekend Beth!!!! Sounds like you will have fun time in NOLA w/ everyone! I have yet to try these beignets, they look DELISH!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
ReplyDeleteFun story- my sis and I used to have "how high can we pile the powdered sugar on the beignet and eat it without having a powdered sugar cloud cover us?" contests when we lived in Mississippi.
Sad, but true- I checked to make sure that Mary Mahoney's in MS was still standing post Katrina (after checking on friends, of course!).
GOOD luck Beth! I know that SWIM will come for you! ENJOY your trip and have an awesome race!!!!!
