Rabbit-isms!

There's always room for another race!
That's a horrible idea... What time?!

Sludge Rap

Saturday morning STUR and the Beast were back at their old haunt-
Chinquapin rec center for a long swimming jaunt.
Had to cut just a little bit short
They still got in a bit over 4000, so don't snort!
Saturday morning STEB also headed out to swim
For 7:55 practice at Providence REC for the win
Nice to be indoors on a chilly and rainy day!

It was pretty chilly and rainy outside
STEB had a back up plan for training - that's wise.
There she swam 2200 indoor yards
Then was back on the trainer in her garage!
After 15 miles on Trixie it was time for a short run
STUR embraced her treadmill - she thinks it's fun
Saturday afternoon she had a little deed to do
In the end she had a new Cannondale, too
Candy 2.0(?) hanging out with Trixie!

Then Saturday evening there was a Kona planning party at the Beast's-
These rabbits are all excited to say the least!
Some great ideas were tossed around-
Definitely going to a luau! How does that sound?
The Beast brought out her tiki from back in the day!
Of course their main goal is to cheer on KBun-
They hope to wear grass skirts and carry signs to make it more fun.
At the Beast's they had a  dessert trifle that was yummy
With an M-dot on it to celebrate a certain bunny
This was delicious!
It wouldn't be a rabbit gathering without some laughs
The YouTube videos and stories were a gas
RBug joined in the meeting by phone
It'll be fun when they're all together don't you know?
Sunday morning the rabbits had a plan
To do the Reston Tri practice swim, understand?
There are three bikes stuff in there!
STEB put three bikes in her car
The Beast and STUR followed. It wasn't too far
They took different routes to get to Audubon Lake
But ended up parked by each other for goodness sake
Ready to swim!
Half of the Rabbits donned a wet suit-
Apparently STEB forgot hers at home – oh shoot!
In the end they all made it in and out of the chilly water-
Lake left some brown sludge on them to their horror!!
Took a long "T1" with some snacks and rest -
Soon for the bike ride they were all dressed!
Nice flat water!
"No rabbit left behind" as the 4 rabbits made their way around the bike course -
That is the rule they did enforce!
STUR was relieved to find the course wasn't too hilly-
She was worried and now she feels silly!
No one left behind!
STUR headed out for a long run on Labor Day-
The Mt Vernon trail is where she would play!
She was definitely not alone out there-
More cyclists than runners- the trail they were trying to share!
She ran five to Fort Hunt for a bathroom break -
A beautiful day on the trail for goodness' sake!
Well?
What would Chrissie do if she saw a turtle on the path?
Make sure that it was out of harm’s way, natch!
Team Rabbit is always ready to help another critter!
Back to her car for another short rest -
Out and backs definitely are the best!
Jones Point Park is cool!
Next she went toward Jones Point Park-
Saw lots of boats but of course no sharks!
See - no sharks!
Finished up with a tally of 17.28 -
A little more than she biked yesterday- got it straight?
STEB started her Labor Day with a little 5k which is not too far
The Great American in Fairfax Corners sponsored by PRR
Ready to run!
Greg was there lending a hand as a course marshal
He just did the VA Beach RNR remix which wasn't dull!
Greg is a bad @$$!!
Got a shout out from the announcer when she crossed the finish line
And third in her age group meant $10 in PR bucks which is just fine!
CBun did a long run on her Reston trails
Even some off road which mean a little cue sheet fail.
At least it wasn't raining!

She might have gone off into the woods and mud
But on this day she did not end up covered with sludge!
She also spotted a little cutie playing fetch
In the lake they’d swam in the day before you want to bet?
Wonder if he was covered in sludge after?

In the end she wound up with 20 you don’t say?
Miles in the bank that is for a 50keh!
KBun got in a 100 mile ride
On her sweet tri bike she took it in stride!
The rabbits are now counting down the days till their trip
To Kona that is and they are pretty stoked about it!
