Well while all of you were having an extra sleep in on Monday (well those whom happen to live close enough to Auckland to get Anniversary day) I was doing the annual Triaction women's triathlon.
It was a 400m swim in Pilot Bay, 10km bike around Mount waterfront and finally a 2.5km walk/run.
There were age groupings, I was in the second group 20-24yr. I reckon I was closer in age to those whom were in the next age group up. We were the second group released. But I was like one of the last 15 out of the water anyway.
Of 253 entrants 13 either didn't turn up or they didn't finish the race. I know this because I was last across the finish line at number 240!
The fastest person finished in 34.24 minutes I took 1:29.34 nearly a full hour after her.
It was a grand adventure and I am thinking about getting professional help with my swimming as that is what took the longest. Also I am a very poor swimmer and would like to get back to the level of ability I was when I was at Intermediate.

Always write down what you use...
Well a few weeks ago I made a yummy mince dish that I took out for a potluck dinner. I just threw in everything because I was in a hurry. It tasted quite good a bit to spicy for some, but I can't remember exactly what I put in it. LOL never mind. A bit like the liquid bacon I made with a friend many years ago all we remember for certain is that it was vegetarian and contained sun dried tomatoes.
ALWAYS write down what you put into an experimental dish because I guarantee if it tastes good you won't remember what you used.
I also made Kiwi Curried Sausages recently.
These were good but I reckon half a cup of sultanas and double herbs and liquid would make it better.
Coconut loaf.
This is very sticky at all stages. I personally don't think much of it.
Stretched Sausages.
I made this for my best friend and her husband when they came for tea on Sunday night. Hehe they came from Rotovegas to drop off my new laptop that they picked up for me and for a brief visit. I think this meal was quite nice, but a wee bit to much sweet chili was added and I used 1 less onion and there was still plenty.
