Bama to Nanticoke Rap

Friday morning early, STEB hit the road
Headed down to Auburn, to her son's abode!
The drive went smoothly with hardly any delays
Just a couple of rush hour pockets - STEB was amazed!
Rolled into Auburn just in time for dinner
Headed to Bob's Victory Grille - their (life changing) cheese fries are a winner!
STUR got up early Saturday so she could get her 5k done-
For afterwards to CrossFit she would need to run.
Opted to do the 5k on the Mt. Vernon Trail -
Achieved her goal of descending miles without fail!
At CrossFit did a WOD called Josh -
Overhead squats and pull-ups- oh gosh!
Saturday morning STEB got up before the crack -
Being in central time zone did not help - that's whack!
But she had a plan - it was Bo Bikes Bama
A metric century ride but she didn't see any yellowhammers
Bo Jackson organizes a charity ride for a really good reason
Emergency storm shelters are built after a horrid tornado season.
The day was just perfect for the bike ride;
Sunny skies and little wind and a photo op surprise!

According to Bo, STEB's "arms are too short!"

Saturday night STEB had more fun with her son...
Mug Shots for a cheese steak at stop number one!
After a quick trip to Kroger to get him some groceries,
A short walk for b'ball and beers over at Momma G's!
CBun and STUR headed out for the Nanticoke Swim -
This is CBun's fourth time- so it's not on a whim!
CBun had definitely warned STUR about Nanticoke -
With the current and waves it is certainly no joke!
Pre-race they got in the water with the greatest of ease -
Had to make sure they weren't going to freeze!
Got the scoop from the race director Dave -
CBun hopes this year from him she won't need a save!
Next thing we knew it was time to start the actual event;

The water and conditions were heaven sent!
For STUR the first loop went well without much chop -
But more of it on the 2nd loop wouldn't make her stop!
Only got a bit queasy near the end -
Hoping  to make open water swimming her friend!
Found CBun who crushed her 2-mile effort

Crushed it!

Chugged some water as she was dry as a desert!
Cleaned up a bit and ate from the grill-
Sat in the grass in the sun 'till they had their fill-
Listened to the awards and what do you know-
Both CBun and STUR got a pint glass to show!

Gotta love another pint glass!

Overall the Nanticoke Swim was a really grand time -
The bling, good race, and nice shirt were worth every dime!
On Sunday STEB managed to sleep in
She didn't have to do anything till 2:00 pm so that was a win!
First a little Wizards game to pass the time
Then she headed to practice with the Auburn Masters - so cool!

It was AUsome!

It was 90 minutes of long course in an AUsome outdoor pool!

AUsome sky! AUsome pool!

Thanks to Auburn Masters swimmers and coaches for welcoming this Rabbit...

STEB wishes she could make long course swimming at Auburn a habit!

WuDoc was inspiring and productive! Just what did she conquer?

The AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer 

She did it!
