Christmas Presents


I was very blessed by my christmas presents. I got the regular soaps & lotions, and a horse calendar for the house and a great Ansel Adams one for my office. My parents got me a gift card for EMS, I think I'm going to get a backpacking cookset. They also got me monogramed towels, tres chic. Andrew's parents got me a ton of books that were on my list: Jane Austen, The Constant Gardner, The Time Traveler's Wife, and The City of Fallen Angels. So if any of you are reading these books or plan to, let me know and we can discuss them. Keep checking back, I may write a couple of reviews.

Andrew got me an amazing gift, a transition bag. What's a transition bag? Well it's a huge backpack with compartments for everything you need race day. Spaces for my wetsuit, water bottles, gatorade bottle, bike helmet, running shoes, bike shoes, etc. Most triathletes use a milk crate to carry all their stuff. Me, I'm not so coordinated at 7:00 in the morning, I just can't seem to balance my milk crate on my bike and carry whatever else happened to not fit in the milk crate that morning. I can't wait to use it.
