Hey blog fans. I thought I'd mention a few up coming events. I'm going to Egypt next Friday with Andrew, so I'll be updating my blog while I'm away. We go for 9 days, leaving Friday night. Right now we don't have much of an itinerary, other than we think we want to do Cairo/Giza, then Luxor and then either a Nile river cruise, or fly to the Sinai. But nothing is booked, other than our flight to Cairo.

Also, I'm going to be doing another triathlon on Sept. 27. Since I don't use the blog for anything else, I thought I'd update between now and then with updates on training.

The triathlon is Olympic length, meaning that it's: 1500m swim, 40km bike, 10km run. I did another Olympic length tri in June, which went not to badly, but I was battling an ankle injury from January till the tri in June, and I think it really affected my training/race. I had the same injury for most of the summer, but I just bought a new pair of shoes, which seems to have helped my ankle a great deal. I think if I wasn't going to Egypt I would be in pretty good shape for the tri. Leaving for 9 days 3 weeks before the race is not very good for training: that's the time you should be working the hardest.

One last thing: I've added a recipe section to the website. These are recipes I have either created, or just like a lot and wanted access to when I wasn't home. Hopefully some of you will enjoy them too. I may add photos to them at some point, but that will probably have to wait for a cold winter day when I have nothing better to do.
