Damm dog doesn't remember if it has a white stripe down its back, DON'T PISS IT OFF! So my barky dog was disturbing the neighborhood again last night. BARK BARK BARK at 9 at night (yes I'm THAT neighbor with THAT dog). Then the barky, stinky thing comes running in the house because she pissed off a skunk. This is the second time. When will she learn to leave the striped cat alone!
Thank god for the internet and 24-hr supermarkets! Luckily we already had the "recipe" and stuff to de-skunk her from the last run at 11 at night to pick up this stuff. Here's the "recipe"
1 qt hydrogen peroxide
1/4 c baking soda
1 tbs dish soap
Boy this really works well. Since she's an indoor dog (see the barking reference above) and sleeps on the bed (or anywhere else she wants) she really had to be de-skunked. Can't thank the internet gods enough for the info above!
Now onto the saga of the tri and AR. There's so much going on it's hard for my peabrain to comprehend everything. I must concentrate on the tri (this Sunday it will all be over with). After that I can stress about the AR.
I'm sooooo worried about the AR. A sprint AR was fun and so doable. 12 hours is so much longer, and my teammates are so much faster. I don't want to let them down or hold them up. Being towed the whole race is not much fun or good for my ego. But I'm afraid that's whats going to happen. Yes I'm obsessing. So worried about my abilities.
I was reading another blog about last year's Scout AR and it made me feel much better about this. Until........I went back to re-read it and looked at her bio. She's a marathoner, trail runner, etc.....So I'm back to my worrying and stressing over this. From her blog, I'm looking at 9 miles on the trail and 16 miles on a mt bike. OMG! That's about the Mt Wilson Race and 1.5 around Bonelli. Due to equipment difficulties, they didn't get to the kayaking. So the one saving grace on the blogs is that the longer races are meant to be at a slower pace but a longer distance and time. Maybe my slower pace will be a benefit to my faster teammates :)~
