Whoops.

A friend came into town and I forgot to write. Whoops.

I got my Mac back tonight!

So happy.

I'm in rehearsal right now.
...

Ok, now I'm out.

So yeah, my Macbook Pro got a total face lift.

Several months ago, a DVD had gotten itself stuck in the drive so I had to take it to the Apple store. They looked at it and said the drive needed to be replaced.
No prob, go ahead and do that.
Unfortunately, the technician that replaced the drive inadvertently scratched the case for me.
No prob, can you fix it for me?

Absolutely, sir. We will just replace the bottom half of the case for you. We'll call you when the part comes in.

::8 months later::

...No call...

So I called them, and they said, bring it on in again.
I did and they said, so sorry, sir. We'll just mail it off to our repair shop and get it back faster than if we ordered another part.

I have to say, and this is why I LOVE Apple, they really went out of their way to make it right.

They replaced the bottom case, the top case, the keyboard, the DVD drive, and all the cabling inside. My Mac looks brand spanking new again!

My faith is renewed and this is a total pimp shout out to Apple.


Go get you one.

Lost/24

Amy is hooked on 24 and we're both hooked on Lost. It's a sad state of affairs here. haha
I can't be typing on this here computer right about now.

When I get my computer back, I promise I'll write entries like I used to, bland and uninspiring. hahaha

A Limited Spot

This Blogspot is pretty cool, but man, it's also really limited when all you have is a phone. I can't comment, can't view any of my faves, and can really only visit people that have left comments. That link actually works. There's gotta be a better way...
I miss my Mac some more.

Tristan and I just got back from the bike shop. The next race requires bikes aqnd helmets to be inspected so we got that done downtown.

Wow. I just fell asleep while writing this. I'm tired. Gotta hit the sack.

They Changed It On Us

Man, I've barely been online today.
Not at all with a computer, mind you, just my pda phone. My Mac is in the shop having the body replaced from the time that the Genius Bar guy scratched it up. They'll be keeping it for a week. Ugh... I'm having withdrawals.

That being said, I also haven't uploaded any photos from the race. I tried today on my work computer, but that didn't really fly. Everything is blocked.

So the race didn't go exactly as planned.
The water that day was just too choppy and nasty to have a swim so the officials canceled that portion of the race, effectively turning the triathlon into a dualthon, which was a 5k run, 10.8 mile bike, followed by another 5k run.
It was still a pretty cool race, but honestly, that was a little more running than what I had planned on doing.

The first 5k went pretty well at about an 8:45 per mile pace. The bike went very well. All I know is that I passed a lot of people and I was feeling really good.
My transition times were excellent.
However, the last 5k got my goat.
I was gassed. I was running at a mild workout pace and my calves were screaming at me. I still finished with a decent time of 1 hour 32 minutes, but like I said, it just wasn't the race that I had been training for.

Now I'm looking forward to the next real triathlon in Athens. It's also much better organized. I have two more weeks to tighten things up and beat last years time of 1 hour 36 minutes.
Should be a piece of cake.
Pics will come as soon as I get my Mac back if not sooner.
