70.3 Vineman 2010

1.25 Mile Swim / 56.1 Mile Bike / 13.1 Mile Run - 5 hrs 50 min and 15 sec! I'll load some pictures soon! You can check my results and some official information out at Vineman.com. My bib number was 236. I will load some more pictures shortly. Here are a few. The kids made signs and cheered me on as I came in from the bike, exited to start the run and finished. My goal time was 6 hrs flat, so I am very happy with the time and relieved to be done!

Cincinnati Trip Summer 2010

Lots of fun in Cincinnati this year. Very hot weather so we spent a lot of time in and around water. We also wore the kids out one day and they all were asleep in the back, our first peaceful car ride in a long time!

Summer Catching Up

Here are a few pictures from Marisa's birthday party. She is 6 now! I also loaded one picture of Tyler and his best buddy Elmo taking a nap together!

June 2010

Tyler at Grandpa & Grandma Leary's house playing indoor basketball - his favorite. Marisa showing off another lost tooth! Connor with a birdhouse that Grandpa and he built and painted. See everyone in Cincinnati soon - we'll post pictures from our trip in a few weeks.

Connor the Equipment Operator

It was take your four year old to work today. Connor and I went to the new project I'm working on. It's an extension of an existing parking structure and a new Medical Office Building to be used for cancer treatment. We broke ground in early May and are into the mass excavation and grading. Connor had a ball climbing around all the equipment. He said he wants to drive the scraper when he grows up.

April 2010

After a hot shot to the pitcher, Marisa fields the ball and gets ready to throw the runner out at first! Marisa is on the Giants, her first year of T-Ball. Coach Paul is great, he has the kids throwing with perfect form and has really concentrated on letting the kids have fun while learning some aspects of the game.

Two weekends ago we had one of those perfect Sunday afternoons. Susan and I sat under the shade tree in the front yard with wine, cheese and crackers while the kids played in the sprinklers. Eventually they found the waterguns and had waterfights with the neighbors kids. Daddy's truck never did get washed....maybe next weekend.

The Relay

http://www.therelay.com/

12 co-workers and I completed a 200 mile relay this past weekend. The Relay started in Calistoga, CA and finished in Davenport, CA (12 miles north of Santa Cruz). The race has been growing in popularity over the past few years. This year over 200 teams competed. We finished 28th overall and 4th in the corporate division. The relay took us 27 hours and 31 min to finish. I don't yet have the pictures, but will post some when I get a chance. You should be able to access the race from the link above.
