last week

i love long weekends, even if theyre a little cold and rainy. its a mini-vacation and just enough time to socialize and cram in some extra working out. friday night we went to Fast Splits After Dark for the QT2 Mixer and got a demonstration on the new Shimano DI2 Electric Shifting, info on Aerodynamics by one of the leading researchers, and some Zipp info from their rep:

here we are, listening, and noshing on some awesome Whole Foods catering:



but the highlight of my night was Tapply's outfit. After this picture he went on to put on a backpack and ask "Which way to math class?" and THEN, went on to win the wrentham duathlon by 3 minutes on sunday! (look closely at his pants):



sunday night, one of pats coach-ees, our friend nicole, gave us awesome sox tickets. so we forwent (i made that word up, as opposed to "forgo" or "forgone") the marathon and headed there. we had a WAITRESS. and PADDED SEATS. clearly i dont experience class that often because i was very, very excited. randomly, a couple of our friends (andy, and greg seperately) were in the seats below us!




andd im going to post this picture because i think its funny, it captures their personalities pretty well. P-Whacker, and Hughes (Maryanne came too but B's (giant) head is blocking her)



and lastly, i got an awesome internship at Marathon Physcial Therapy which im probably too excited for. it starts next week, which is good, because holy cross free athlete massage ended yesterday!
