Rio came back from the bike shop today, all serviced and spruced. She has pink handlebar tape! I think it looks so cute, like a giant strawberry and vanilla ice cream! I hope it keeps me entertained at Worlds, so I can crank out my best ever 40km bike!
Ran in the rain this morning, and saw a whale in the bay. It is so amazing to live in Fish Hoek - every single ride or run is along the most stunning coastline, and for the next few months, there will be whales cavorting all over False Bay.
My ride was an indoor one again - just an easy spin while watching TV with my boys. Justin is home from hostel for the weekend, and the family feels complete again. Dylan and I have great moments together during the week, and I am starting to get used to Justin not being here, but when he comes home for the weekend, I realise how much I have missed him. Some people think its odd that one of my twins is a weekly boarder while the other one prefers to come home every day. Its not odd to us - they each got to choose what was right for them individually, and watching them grow and mature, I am proud of the young adults they are becoming. They will be 15 on 28 September, just after I get back from Australia.
Sometimes I still can't believe that I am a mother to two real, live teenagers! Whats more, I am loving every moment! They are so supportive about triathlon, they are my biggest fans. The two of them are at most races, clapping and shouting, "Go, mom!" every time I come past. I wish they could come to Australia and be there for the race, as well as the holiday part of the trip.
