Graniteman Triathlon

On This past Sunday I completed the Graniteman Big Lake sprint triathlon.  This is my fourth year for the event and it is my favorite triathlon.  Thankfully, this year I was able to train more and I felt much better on the bike and run.  This resulted in a two minute increase from last.  The sample packet of http://www.hylandslegcramps.com/ worked great as well.  They worked immediately when I started to feel my leg tightening up.

Completed my last class

This morning I finished my last assignment and submitted it one day before the class officially was set to end.  This was my last class for my MBA.  What a relief to be done after three and a half years of taking classes at Columbia Southern.  I can only imagine what I will do with my free time.  Here is a picture I took the other day as I was working in my paper.  

Fall colors

This year it has taken a while for the leaves to change but they are really popping now.  The other day at Como Lake there were some great bright red maples.  There was one that was so bright we decided to take our picture in front of it. 

Costa Rica

The Costa Rican weather really helping us thaw out.    Everyday has been fantastic, 93F with a 15 mph breeze off the ocean.  The water is great and we have really improved our surfing ability.  

We have loved our hotel, Hotel Diria.  The highlight of each day is watching the sunset from our patio.  

January 2nd

Sue had the day day off i unfortunately had to work.  One good thing was no traffic on the roads.  Sue did some house cleaning.  Look how organized our kitchen drawer is now.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!  2015 promises to be a good one.  

Today was a relaxing day and now we are enjoying a nice fire.

Deer Hunting 2014

Today I will be heading up to Orr, MN for the opener of Deer Hunting.  The weather sounds like it is going to be cool with highs in the upper 20's all weekend.  There is a chance of snow for each day.  It will be a smaller group with only three of us hunting.  Hopefully there will be success and I can post some pictures after the hunt.
