Life outside of Ironman

I interupt this previously scheduled training blog for . . . Life.

Outside of Ironman training, there's really only one thing going on in my life . . . Hockey, Hockey, Hockey. One or both of the kids has hockey six days a week it seems. The seasons are winding down - which is almost too bad because both kids have really improved their skating. Zman's coaches have said some great things about his effort and coachability. (Now if he would just clean his room!) JRose (like her brother) is most comfortable playing defense. She is convinced she is one of the best on her team which is VERY interesting. You go girl!

Zman clearing the zone against the dreaded Johnson team. Last Sunday Zman had a 7:30 a.m. practice - following his 6:40 game the night before. We hit church and then what else? MORE HOCKEY. Santa brought Anne 4 tickets (8th row) to the Minnesota Wild v. Edmonton Oilers (for those of you south of Madison those are NHL teams). We got there early so the kids could watch the players come out of the tunnel.



The game went into a sudden death shootout and the Wild won. Zman said his stomache got butterflies in overtime and during the shootout - "like when the other team has a breakaway and I need to stop them" Guess he was into it.

It was a fun day. Now back to the pool.
