There is nothing quite like the smell either....Hahahahahaah!
Mike is always bugging me that I never take enough photos....actually I find it difficult to take ANY photos. I mean, what am I going to take a pic of? Me standing next to a tree with my bike? Some people take great pics like that -- me though, I feel like such a knob. Hahahahahaha!!!
However, I broke out the camera yesterday and am making the effort...
Here is my coach, Sara Gross working away all afternoon on our rest day yesterday. We swam in the morning (I got pulled out of the pool because my fatigue was THAT obvious -- LOL!!!), and then had the rest of the day off.
While Sara worked diligently away, I laid in bed reading and kept getting up to eat. Then eat more, then eat still more. I felt like a bag of ass all day yesterday -- shudder. But it wouldn't be a rest day without that great ole feeling eh? Hee-hee!!
Speaking of my and many of my blogger buddies' favourite expression, here is the inventor of "Bag of Ass": Our very own uber coach resting and dreaming up more workouts for all of us...Clint Lien (And taking in some Antiques Roadshow...LOL!!!)
We made dinner for 9 people last night....Rachel is an incredible athlete, chef, organizer, and woman!! In fact -- her link to her blog has some BEAUTIFUL pics she has taken -- and the one of her riding her bike was taken by me! Hahahahahahaha!!!
Actually her blog has an excellent write up of the goings on at the camp so far!!
Here is Rachel is action -- I did as I was told, chopping veggies, etc as she worked her magic in the kitchen last night. She is such a caring person, she had found out on facebook that our newest roomie would be celebrating a birthday the next day. So, we all pitched in (under Rachel's guidance -- and when she wasn't looking, Sara and I stole sun chips -- LOL!!!!) and enjoyed an AWESOME dinner!!
Andrew Johns and his wife Lisbeth Kristensen are staying immediately below us. When they got wind of our new guest's birthday they promptly decided to arrange for a special cake for her....
Here is a pic of the birthday girl....Miranda!

thank ya girl for the pictures:) I could smell the shoes from here!!
Funny that there are more photos of you on Rachel's blog, than there are of you on yours. Mind you, it's hard to point the finger. There was I was today, hiking in Fish Creek, wishing I'd brought the camera...
Some of those sneakers look like they are ready to head out the door by themselves!
Keep on having fun!
Yay for rest days! And for finally getting to see some pictures too!
It sounds like you are having way too much fun over there. Apart from having to live with smelly shoes of course!
Looks like a fab time, coolio girl - cos that's what you are, coolio! Glad you're having a good time - and make the most of that rest :) Sounds like you were REALLY pooped - I had to cut my tues swim set (had a bad allergy attack on monday night, was determined to do my swim, but was all over the place, so maybe it was me and you coming out in sympathy for each other - hahahaha!)

PS Told Michelle to look out for you at Mooloolaba!!!
You know, it just occurred to me last night when going to bed that the owners of the condo rented it out to a bunch of triathletes. Sweaty, salty, stumbling, tired, forgetful, smelly, wet, focussed, obsessive triathletes. Did they know this in advance? Or is one of the house rulez that you have to hose yourself down before coming inside? I hope the condo has a heavy duty washer and dryer that doesn't take forever to go through a cycle, like the European ones do. I hope the fridge is big enough for all the food. And that photo on Rachel's blog of the plate of food just about had me licking the monitor! And that there is a huge, HUGE stack of towels, since you must be going through them like there's no tomorrow. But it's all in service of having fun, so it's all good.
The rest day sounds much needed! And no pics of you?! But some of the Vancouver girls.
I love the term "I feel like such a konb." Hilarious. Glad you took some pics....
