Thanksgiving 2009


Wow..what a year up to this point. Training for half ironman's and full ironman's...going on vacation and getting to see old friends. It has been great. I sure do have alot of things to be thankful for. My health, family, dogs, and friends.

My in-laws showed up on Tuesday night where we ventured out to Mandola's. I love that place. We came home and watched TV and went to bed as Thanksgiving Day is always crazy.

We get up and make our dishes for that day and make our way down to San Marcos to spend it with some of our closest friends.

After we ate and visited we came back to Austin so Ali and I could do our post Turkey/Ham ride. Well lets just say we didn't make it very far. We started off and it wasn't to bad. My legs were having a hard time. As we make it to Southwest Parkway Ali is having some problems breathing, but she wants to keep going. So we push ahead and we almost make it to HWY 71. We take a turnaround and head back on SWPKWY. Not a few miles later she ends up having a flat. 4 tubes and 4 co2 cartridges later and about 30 minutes later we are back on our bikes heading to our cars.

We get back to our cars and head home to rest. What a day.
