Sidetracked by Baby Preparations

We know we've been very quiet for the past month. First, it was the Olympics that occupied our time. Now, we're in nesting/baby planning mode as our newest addition is expected to arrive within a few weeks.

However, that hasn't stopped us from focusing on our sporting endeavors. Contestant #1 has been busy with his training for the upcoming tri season, although he's been nursing a bit of a sore calf for the last two weeks. But that seems to be improving as the days go by. On the contrary, contestant #2 has been slowed by an increasingly large belly, although she has remained quite active in anticipation of the post-natal recovery period that is to come.

Contestant #1 is still finalizing his summer race schedule, but we did sign up for The Nation's Triathlon located conveniently in our neck of the woods. We opted to do the relay - contestant #1 will undertake his specialty, swimming, in the Potomac River; contestant #2's father will do the bike; and contestant #2 herself will make a return to racing with the 10K run through the DC streets.

We'll keep you posted on our race schedule once we nail that down and of course other developments as they come up.

Thanks for reading.
