Pin, Spin, and Swim Rap

On Saturday STUR had originally thought she would go for a run
But the partner WOD at the gym looked like much more FUN!
Partnered with her favorite gym buddy -
They both loved all the moves - so lucky!
Snatches, push-ups, deadlifts, and burpees...
Calories on the bike and running?!! Oh geez!
PBun was back to her old Saturday tricks
Zwift bike, brick walk, followed by a swim
The Acme crew kept her company
And were later joined the the tuxedo kitties

PBun always appreciates her crew support!

Then got to meet up with KBun at the pool
No selfie but it really happened they would not fool!!

EPSC looking pretty refreshing!

Afterwards at PBun's, they were on the computer
There was a tornado of sorts, caused by little Meowser!

#LifeWithMeowser

BLUR headed over to Hains Point with her bike
Was she was doing the Kinetic Multisports virtual race? Yes, that's right!

Way to go, BLUR! 

Took 15 minutes off her previous Oly distance time
Starting at the crack to beat the heat was also pretty fine
The Beast was zwifting around the same time as PBun
She went even farther and longer as she got it done!!
Meanwhile KBun had another late night zwift session
So in the morning PBun gave her a ride on!
Sunday STUR started off her day differently again -
Spin-fit first then over to the Lee RECenter indoor pool for a swim!
The spin was hot, humid, and tough -
But after two miles in the cool water she was much less gruff!

Lee RECenter looking pretty refreshing as well!

PBun slept in and it was already light when she got up
But knocked out a run with hill repeats sure enough

This was the scene of PBun's hill repeats! 

Recovered while throwing the ball to her best girl

That Riley is always so smiley!

Also put up #6Pinwheels4Kyra* and somberly watched them twirl

See below for more information about the #6Pinwheels4Kyra and the Kyra Franchetti Foundation.

Met up with KBun again at EPSC
Got that selfie today, as you can see!

Picture proof this time! 

Decided to take stock of all her swim goggles and caps
The final tally was 20 and 48 - can you believe that?!

PBun definitely needs to purge some old goggles and caps!

We think she needs a swimtervention...
With 20 years of swim and tri they really add up!

Marshy Rap

STUR started off the weekend with a short run-
Being on the Dyke Marsh Trail made it fun!
Later she went back with the LazMan -
Jumping in the Potomac - he’s becoming a fan!

Happy boy loves the water!! 

After a rest she headed over to Prince William Forest Park -
Hiked 6 miles to a lovely stream - almost getting caught in the dark!

Happy hikers! 

And earlier that morning before the crack
KBun and Jeff gathered at PBun's house - fact
You can probably guess they were headed to Cambridge M-D
To ride the IMMD loop just one time around you see
Traffic wasn't too bad which was nice
Stopped at McDonald's per the usual vice
Pamcakes for KBun and ice coffee for PBun
Now they were ready for some cycling in the sun

They are smiling now...

After the pre-ride selfie they got underway
Riding in the shady parts was quite nice you don't say!
The Blackwater Marsh was not too flooded for a change
Had to go slow in a few parts just the same
PBun might have been singing a particular tune... 
Singing puts rabbits over the moon!
They all stopped just after the hill
A frog-free porta potty is always a thrill

It wasn't too tough getting up the 'hill' today! 

Next stop was at Gootee's Marine
AC and fun masks for purchase - sweet!
Regrouped again with 14 miles to go
And again with 6 miles PBun was toast
Happy once the ride was over
Then a 20 minute brick run - it was a cooker!!
Quick stop at DQ for a few twist cones was a dream
It was the weekend to celebrate Ice Cream!

A perfect way to celebrate National Ice Cream Day a day early!

Sunday morning STUR once again gave the Beast a ride -
To the OKM pool, for.a swim outside!
The “chiller” was cranking and kept the water reasonable -
It made getting in two swim miles feasible!
Up next was spin fit in a very hot box
When it was over she had to wring out her socks!!
It was another early start for the PBun
A 5k time trial run to get done before it got too hot under the sun
This also counted as RNR VR12
More stinking badges? What the hell!

OK, OK...PBun likes her stinking badges! 

After a few errands she met KBun at the pool
Time trials of 400 and 200 meters sounds pretty cool!

Happy they got that done! 

She was pleased with her run and swim outcome
Happy to get that all out of the way till next month!!

Lake Arrowhead is looking lovely!

Meanwhile, CBun and HRab headed down to Luray
Open water swim then a hilly bike? What do you say?

HRab and CBun are ready! 

They also visited a sunflower field
Not to many sunflowers yet but it's always unreal!

CBun and HRab are so cute! 

Sunflowers are nearly as friendly as daisies! 

Lots of other great scenery to be had
Sightseeing locally is never bad!

Check out the scenery!! 

And KBun got a glimpse of bunnies three...
Could it possibly be the O. G?

The third bunny is kid of hiding behind that tree! 

Pining Rap

This weekend the rabbit crew settled on the Pine Creek Ultra relay
That means it is time to choose more rabbit gang names you see!
They decided to go with a pine cone theme
Hopefully the race will happen mid September for the team!
MRab signed on for the fun -
Picked his name first, son of a gun!
Most of the others have now chosen theirs
They will be revealed if and when race time nears!
Saturday was a repeat for PBun of late
A mixed up triathlon seems to be her fate!
It was nice to visit with KBun while at the pool
Even if the water wasn't cold, that's cool

STUR went to the gym on Saturday for a WOD which  great in length
There was lots of running and “devils presses” for strength.
Later that day she went for a little SUP -
Was 45 minutes late returning the board as the Potomac got a bit rough!
Sunday morning PBun was up at the crack
Wanted to get in her run before it got too hot, imagine that
Would you believe she forgot she signed up for RNR VR11?
Till she got the congratulatory email from them!!
It's a good thing she went far enough for it to count
She would have been a little sad if not without a doubt
Did a good deed and picked up a big bag of trash by her pool
Hated seeing all the litter earlier when she ran on through
Then met up with KBun again to swim some laps
Both worked on their butterfly stroke - it was a blast

Meanwhile, STUR was happy to give the Beast a ride -
For soon back and forth in the OKM pool they will glide!
The water was a wonderful temperature -
Did they get in over 3000 meters? Oh for sure!
STUR headed back to the box to hop on a bike -
And in between do as many burpees and push-ups as you like!
The spin-fit class was a definite sweat fest -
Using her bunny towel was the absolute best!

Independence Rap

STUR started Independence Day off with a long course swim -
With steamy water, the pool was filled to the brim!
Saw MRab and gave him a quick hello -
Both so happy to finally be giving swimming a go!
Made it through the soup and onto a short run -
Did she sweat a lot in both workouts? Yes a ton!
To celebrate the Fourth, STUR and JRab went into Old Town -
Early dinner and gelato near the water is where they were found!

Team Rabbit hopes everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July! 

Meanwhile, PBun did a mixed up triathlon

PBun was working on a Zwift KOM! 

Zwift bike, run, and then met KBun to swim some!

Happy swimmer people!

She was pretty tired after all of that...
She might have managed a short nap!
Sunday STUR met up with Betty and the Beast for more hot swimming...
Looking for that water sprayer that keeps things a chilling!

More happy swimmer people! 

After a couple of miles In the pool it was time for spin-fit -
Was it a sweat fest? Just a bit...
PBun ran and included a 5k in the mix -
Virtual are better than the real if you get her drift!!

Virtual race with a real medal? Sweet!
Riley wishes the fireworks were virtual!!! 

Firecracker fun!

Then she and the Goodmanator headed over to Annapolis
Got to visit family from a safe distance
BLUR got her swim on in a warm pool as well -
The Homestead's hot spring fed indoor facility sounds swell!

The rabbits think this pool would be awesome in the winter! 

CBun was scouting an area up in P-A with HRab
Got an impromptu invite to fireworks show that was pretty rad!
