Flickr.com is SO much better than Kodakgallery.com:

What the heck is that about? I got an email from Kodak yesterday and I thought - hmm, is this a hoax. NO IT IS NOT!!! Lame.

Better times for my swims!!

So, as you know, I did a triathlon in August of last year, one in October and one this past Sunday at Disney’s California Adventure. The one in August was in the UK, in FREEZING cold water, and it was an Olympic distance relay - for the swim that’s almost a mile. Holy cow! The ones since then have been 750 meters, which is a sprint-distance swim.

In October, in San Diego, the water was warmer than the UK, but my swim time was 27:29. The entire thing is here:

bib number: 566
age: 31
gender: F
location: El Segundo, CA
overall place: 17 out of 20
division place: 16 out of 18
time: 1:43:28
pace: 0:
swim: 27:29
trans 1: 1:15
bike: 39:46
trans 2: 0:49
run: 34:11

In June, my swim time was 16:23 - SO much better! The entire thing is here:

Overall Rank Class Rank Swim Swim Rank Trans1 Bike Bike Rank MPH Trans2 Run Run Rank Pace Final
527 of 1332 11 of 29 00:16:23 943 00:02:28 00:36:07 467 16.6 00:01:39 00:21:31 696 00:10:45 01:18:09

I’m so happy with it!!! YAY!! Just wanted to share.

More Theatre in SD, among other things

I recently went to San Diego to see the slew of babies and baby mamas and baby daddies I know in SD. I reconnected with a few people I hadn’t seen in around 15 years - AMAZING! And Kind of strange. I saw a play one of the old HS friends directed, which I thought was brilliant. It sounded very British to me, and lo and behold - it was! Esther said, ‘well, yes, people are familiar with Caryl Churchill.’ Not me, but apparently others are!! Anyway, it was a great show, with not many actors in it (that’s an understatement, as there were two). I thought it was really well done, and you San Diegans should go see it. Again, it’s called A Number and it’s done by the Cygnet Theatre Company. The theatre is the Rolando Theatre and it’s just barely east of SDSU. It plays till June 29th.

In addition, where Esther works the most is MOXIE Theatre. They’re doing a play called “The Listener” and I’d really like to see it - just not sure if I can get down there for a two week run. It looks fabulous, and you should go see it!!
