Um, so its Monday and I'm (Eric) not sure were the weekend went. Let's see...
Friday - biked to work and back, did dishes, made dinner, hurried dinner to get done before the Keil's got there to buy my 650 race wheels (new bike are 700's). Its a bit ironic that we rushed dinner since Jenni wrote about how she missed her bike workout in part to make it to our place on time.
Sat - We survived the craziness that is Sutherland's plant sale (always the day before Mother's day) before heading for a ride with GS Boulder. Amber and I ride a lot together, sometime solo and occasionally with someone else, but rarely in a group (at least since our CU Tri team days), so it was a good chance to mix things up a bit and get comfortable in a group again for the Duluth Classic road races. The group didn't have strong feelings on where to go so we made it up as we went along and ended up going up St. Vrain Canyon towards Raymond. Right into the start of the climb, Amber realized she was going flat in the back. She has had two flats this spring, both have been on the two group rides that she has been on. Something had happened to her slidewall to crack it and put a tear in the tube that didn't go all the way through the rubber but was enough to make it lose pressure. We booted the tire with a bar wrapper and headed after the group. We got most of the way to Raymond before we saw the rest of the group, but turned around to descend with them. Amber and I had to stop to put on jackets and Alan waited for us and pulled for us down the hill. We rode back to Gunbarrell with the group with a huge tailwind most of the way (group shrank from ten at the start in Boulder, to nine by Lyons, to five by Gunbarrel, to one headed back to Boulder). Watched Gone Baby Gone that night, we both liked it.
Sunday - Went for a 1.5 hr run and 1.25 hr bike (on new bikes). Checked out the Sunflower Market in Boulder, good prices on produce and nice selection, but their parking is even worse than Whole Paycheck's. Watched No Country For Old Men, I liked it but Amber really didn't.
Monday - No training. Unfortunately the to do list at home is very long.

The triathlon couple in Boulder. Wait there are others? How about the triathlon couple in Boulder who also do cross-country ski races, are both 5'11", are both from Minnesota, both have multiple degrees in Chemical Engineering, have a one-eyed dog and an asthmatic cat. Is that unique enough?

Let's hear some more about these new bikes.... glad you made it through your week-end. Happy to-do-ing tonight. :-)
Sorry about the flats - but the ride sounds like so much fun! I agree with Sunny - tell about the bikes!
I think it is fantastic that you two train together so much - wish that My Other Half would do the same. :)
Keep up the great work and happy to hear that you guys are recovering so well from Lasik!
A and E~ Thank you so much for the wheels..they will get good use this weekend......
Hope you are both well!
