Our weekend in Indianapolis

Sorry I haven't written in awhile. The last time I wrote a lot and right as I was about to post it...BAM my computer shut down. So I was mad at it and decided I didn't really want to post. Therefore I don't remember what I was going to write about then.

AnyHo....

We went to Indianapolis this weekend actually we went to West Lafayette (where Purdue University) is. Brett and his friend Chris(no talking chris(for those who know him). They were doing an Olympic size triathlon on Sunday. Chris was here friday night and then saturday we got up and made pancakes and bacon...yummmmy....then we dropped the doggies at the kennel :( and went on to Indianapolis.

But could it be that easy no not at all. Dropping the puppies off was fine. The drive up took forever. We took our state highway since we had been in oxford to drop the puppies off and we got into Indiana and hit a detour. We get going on the detour and it took us all the way up to I-70 (not really on are way but we thought hey maybe this is a bit faster then the way we have gone before. We hit 3 construction areas where they narrowed it down to 1 lane. Of which only one of these places was actually being worked on we sat in traffic forever!!!!!

We got to chris's and saw all the crazy purdue football fans. Crazy as these people tons and tons of them start drinking at 6:30am and then they dress up in halloween constumes. So we watched the Baylor vs Texas A&M, OU vs. Kansas State, and Purdue vs. Notre Dame games. Good times were had by all.

We were up nice and early Sunday morning for the tri. When we got there brett and chris rode their bike the mile to the course and I waited at the school where their was supposed to be a shuttle to pick spectators up. Did this happen no of course not. So a group of ladies and I decided in a group we would just walk together. We got to the first turn and a nice person picked us up in their truck and drove us the rest of the way. This was not a stranger (well really they were) but they were triathlon people from purdue. So I got to the course after a bit...which is good because brett was starting to get worried. Everybody starting getting ready and had their wet suits on waiting to get into the water. No sooner did we get rain/lighting/thunder. So they did really call it or say anything but get out of the water. The real shuttles had finally made it. (Which was good) Brett and Chris started back to the car on their bikes and i rode the shuttle back unfortunatly they bet me back and I had the keys. So once i got there of course it started raining. Chris was able to load his stuff up quicker so he went back to the course to see what they were doing. We finally got a call from him and head that way. Once we got their and some of brett's stuff out chris yelled out 5 minutes to the start. Brett took off so he could get his wet suit on while i was left to make sure i got everything he needed in the transition area. Oh yeah have i mention that i haven't done a triathlon how do i know exactly what he needs.

Anyways i made it to the start of the race though between all the wet suits i couldn't really tell which one he was. After they started i realized I had forgotten his sunglasses and I didn't want him to lose to Chris(they had a bet of course). So i went back to the the car (was a bit of a walk) man i did a lot of walking that day) Picked up the sunglasses, stopped by chris' truck picked up the sitting chair and headed back. Dropped the sunglasses off at his bike and went and sat my chair up to wait and wait and wait and watch. Finally brett came out of the swim thankfully ahead of chris. Brett Ran up this big ass hill to the transition area. Sat and waited waited and waited for chris to come out of the water.

Moved my chair to the area where they jump on their bikes and head through the course...sat their for mmmmm like an hour before anybody decided to come back. Saw Brett was glad to see him. Sat their again waiting and waiting for Chris to appear (kinda nice the cheer for more than one person at a race) 17 min later chris appeared.

After that moved chair to watch them run...yep just as boring you don't see people that often but what can you do so i did people watching of the spectators.

They both finished the race and I was very glad of that!!! Especially when brett beat chris by about 20min. Yahooooo

Chris is already asking for a rematch.

Okay all for right now tired and need to make lunches for tomorrow.
