Another wonderful baby shower

I had another baby shower this weekend, thank you so much to Sue, Heidi, and Mindy, it was a wonderful day and everything was perfect! They did a such an awesome job hosting and preparing the best salad bar ever. Thank you everyone for being so generous, baby Wood is going to have so much fun and is going to love all of the great books we got. We are starting to read them already.

Overall the weekend went by too fast of course, Friday night we were at the Chanhassen with Doug, Bev, Curt and Christine for Married Alive to celebrate Doug and Bev's Anniversary, it was a great musical.

Brent raced in the Almonzo 100 bike race in Rochester, it was 100 miles of biking almost all on gravel, he started out a little too fast and soon realized it was going to be an awful day. He didn't drink anything or eat the first 30 miles and it caught up too him, the last 70 miles in Brent's words were "Pure Hell." He finished the race in 7 hours 31 minutes and did not feel to great the rest of the night. But, after the fact he thinks he will do it again next year, how soon you forget how sucky it was, kind of sounds like the childbirth experience.

Today we just ran errands all day. We picked up a sprinkler at Home Depot and are trying to fix our lawn, I think come June I might just hang out in the back yard under the sprinkler.

100 miles on gravel in 7 hours on a mountain bike sounds pretty fast to me. Nice job.

Brent!!!!! Way to stay on that bike and continue racing hard!!!! It's always hard to figure out nutrition when you are out there for so long. Hope you have a good day of recovery. Get protein!!!
