Rabbit-isms!

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

McDonnell Murph Midway Rap

On Saturday, CBun and HRab headed up to Fort Ritchie
There was a swim fest going down you see!
What a lovely lake!

Swim 750, 1550, 2250 or all three
That is what CBun did  - woo wee!
HRab was happy to complete the 750 meters
It was his first lake swim in many ages!
CBun and HRab - swim fest success!

So how many rabbits does it take to do a swim in a lake?
Five is apparently the number that it will take!
Most of the Rabbits, ready to swim!

Sunday the Jim McDonnell Swim was on a lovely and sunny day -
With a water temp of 76 degrees - you really don’t say?!!
All five rabbits participated in the swim of one mile -
Each and everyone came out with a smile!
HRab also got on his wetsuit and joined in on the fun!
He powered around all those buoys and got it done!
The two mile swim came up in a flash
Time for four of the rabbits to compete - splash!
After they all did two laps of Lake Audubon -
Headed to the food and drinks before they're all gone!
CBun got a PR in both events!!!!
Go Team Rabbit!! Way to represent!!
For both the Beast was a strong second place-
One and two mile non-wetsuit in this case.
For the one mile STUR got a bronze medal -
Every time Team Rabbit is on the podium is special!
Memorial Day brings a special CrossFit tradition-
Getting Murph done would be STUR’s mission!
Ready for Murph!

She won’t say she “sandbagged” her first mile run but she went a bit slower/
And it worked, because her second mile run time was much lower!
Really fun cookout after with some yummy treats -
After all that work they were all ready to eat!!
STUR is excited to get started!


Way to GO, CrossFit Kingstown!

Meanwhile, PBun headed out to the West coast
Is visiting her Godchild fun? Yes, it is the most!
Did a lot of fun activities throughout the week
Even got in three run workouts which was neat

A scavenger hunt in Balboa Park and an escape room with a Western theme
They solved a cypher!
This reminded PBun of the movie, National Treasure!



This was really at Old Town Sand Diego, but fit here!

Saw Fiddler on the Roof and hiked to the top of Cowles Mountain again
Taking a rest...


Checking out the switch backs going up Cowles Mountain!
(Not quite like the switchbacks of Etlan Road!)

Took a trolley ride which included a couple of random things
Cool pedestrian bridge on the UCSD campus!


PBun attempted to play Great Balls of Fire!

And visited Universal Studios Hollywood and the USS Midway Museum!
Happy to be at Universal Studios!


Harry Potter world is wonderful!


Scenes from the USS Midway!

Returned home very early Saturday for a lazy kind of day
Then saw POMS followed by coffee with NanWa on Sunday!
Forgot the pic in front of the movie sign so the mall will do!


Coffee is always a good idea!

Saturday morning STUR figured it was time to train a bit for her upcoming tri -
As she hadn’t been on her bike since last September - oh my!!
BLUR met up with her at a very familiar place -
At Fort Hunt Park to ride their bikes at a reasonable pace.
BLUR has mastered the art of clipping in!
She did it for all 10 loops - that’s such a WIN!
STUR and BLUR got their bike on!

Sunday morning brought another kind of first for the year:
Time to swim outside at Old Keene Mill ya hear?
Always an adjustment for the 50 meter length -
Swan 90 minutes and feels like it takes more strength!
STUR with Better from L4!
