Tri Love

I had a really amazing conversation with a teammate of my yesterday that lasted for a good portion of the afternoon. I've never really opened up to anyone that much who isn't really close to me. Him and I are close in the way that you're supposed to be with a teammate - he knows my injuries, my bike's name, and that I hate running. We joke around a lot about things that really don't matter and are actually very snotty towards one another, completely joking around, though.
But yesterday we just got to talking about I realized we are very, very similar in the way we think and understand the world. It's really nice to reach a new level of friendship, one where I know I can trust him with my problems and really talk to him about them. What I really appreciate is that he knows enough about my friends to know who I'm referring to, but not enough to judge me or care - does that make sense? He has an unbiased opinion because he doesn't personally know them, I really like that.
I always knew he was good to talk to, but mostly about Tri-stuff. I'm happy I found a guy I can open up to.
I honestly don't know what I would do without my team..they are some of the best people I've ever met in my life.
I would be lost without them.

Weekend

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...

Stop Shoulding all over yourself

Yesterday I went on Cor Jesu's Vivare "young alumni" retreat. My friend from high school Katie posted it on my wall a few weeks ago and tagged a couple other CJ sisters to the post and it struck my interest. I haven't done a single thing with CJ since I graduated and somewhere between moving to Boston and joining the triathlon team my Catholic past was put on the backburner. I figured I had nothing to lose except a Saturday and at the very least I'd get to hang out with my friends so I signed up and sent in my $25 without much thought.  I've never been the most devout Catholic. Most times in church I'm scanning the crowd for familiar faces, zoning out, and making Target lists- and that's if I go at all. Sunday is usually run-day...or ski day. Or sleep in day. Or study day. Or vacuum day. Whatever day it is...it's rarely church day. Despite being raised by two Catholic parents, going to a Catholic grade school and a Catholic high school, going o...

So Chris isn't entering active duty until 2013. Therefore, in order to get a job, he now needs a resume.  This is a little something Chris, the team and I have been working on. With all these skills, Chris and I are going to be millionaires by 30. A Brewmaster's Resume
