Potato salad

1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons vinegar
4 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon mustard

6 cooked potatoes (5 cups cubed)
1/2 cup diced celery
1 medium onion, minced
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup mayonaise or miracle whip

mix together the top four ingredients and pour over the potatoes, stirring in well. Let stand for 30 - 40 minute. I stir sometimes. Add other ingredients, mix. Chill.

Post Philly Gathering

Figured this may need its own post... here is what I 'heard' today about food/drink for next Sunday... Beth-- please add whatever you desire...

Chuck: alcohol
Maddens: plates/utensils, random munchies (nothing that needs to be chilled etc).
Michaelle: box o' meat, salad of some sort
Shannon: box o' meat, salads, dessert (?)

I also have water and am sure I will have some sort of soda/juice for mi madre... Michaelle--let's coordinate on meat products... I am guessing since I live close to the race site... it will be easiest to just run home and get things... requests would be lovely if folks have them... =)

What have I missed?

Final Week

Hey gang...one week to the big race! Is everyone ready?

Also, congratulations to Shannon and Shelly for their great performances at thier tri this weekend!

Maggie's Poetry Share

Here is the video from Maggie's Poetry Share. I know that this has nothing to do with triathletes, training, nutrition or swim goggles....I believe that due to safety reasons or that they did not want to upset the snack table, they did not actually jump rope.

Where's Chuck?

Okay gang - I posted our 2008 picture...which looks fine in the preview...but Chuck somehow got (mostly) cut out of the picture. I am working on it...

Great swim tonight! Chuck, thanks for hosting! The water temp was fantastic and the food was delicious.

Weekend Plans

OK - it was time for a new post. We can put what we're doing this weekend. I'll be at practice (bike then run) and then I'm heading over to Cherry Hill to get my bike tuned up. I have nothing planned for Sunday yet, but I'm not going to the bike race. I think I'm going to go for a run and then swim at my gym.

Have fun at the bike race!

HaHa

After getting home and checking my email... I out of habit went to read the blog and wondered for a moment why nobody had posted anything... fear not, it clicked soon after!! =)

Here's the details on the sprint triathlon Todd told the Philly mentees about... it's a week before Philly, but supposed to be a great way to get all three events in as a practice on an easy course... I am thinking of doing it...
