so i made it on the first leg of my long journey - i am happy to be here, it is nice - so here we go - lets go on first impressions...when the plane landed, couldn't turn on my cell phone to tell my loved ones i have arrived - wierd. haven't been on the internet for several days - wierd. first time i have traveled sore - wierd. okay, enough of that...so some of you might be wondering - i did finish my race, 3 hrs and 19 min: - finished last on my swim but by the end moved myself up about 62 positions to 138th overall - 19th in the age group (out of 26) - my run time was amongst the top out of the 205 people that ran, i placed 97th in my run time...which after a last place finish in the swim and a mid-place finish in the bike, is quite good - seeing that it was the last event...hmm...a little more practice and i could have done a little better...
it is nice to be back in India- the sounds remind me of Nepal - cars honking, people driving disregarding the lines drawn on the road - people turning and stopping where they please - it is nice...organized chaos...gotta love it - my flight made it in at 1:10 in the morning, by the time i made it through everything, i got home to my uncles place by 3:00 - ate, showered and slept by 4 AM - it is right now 10:00 PM - it has been a day of rest, much needed. the flight was good - i luckily got bummed up to business class on my way from DC to Frankfurt, they needed my aisle seat and gave me a better option - i wasn't complaining, nore were my weary legs. i was able to stretch them out - then drink myself to sleep - it was nice...
day one in india - now i am ready to go to bed...i will write more tomorrow - but it is nice to be with family and at home - i feel so comfortable...
till later -
