Florida 70.3 this weekend

Its been a week or so since my last post. This Friday i am off to Florida 70.3 where i am hoping for a top 8 finish. I have put in a lot of training since my last race the Play tri half where i was 4th in 4:09. I have also done a couple of run races since then for training and everything is coming along nicely.
Most triathletes watch a lot of movies, it is great recovery and allot of fun. Since i am currently trying to get a second job as a film critic and move up in the world i decided to talk about the last movie i watched.
"Before the Devil knows your dead". Wow that is all i can say. It is a must see. Ethan Hawke stars in this dynamite film that will defiantly rank with the years best. Basically Philip Seymour Hoffman is Andy who plays a overextended payroll executive who lures his younger brother( Ethan Hawke) into a larcenous scheme. The pair rob a suburban mom and pop jewelry store that turns out to be Andy's real mom and pop, and when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage sends them towards a shattering Climax. I would personally give the film a 4* in the Tired and Sore rating system. Meaning i watched the movie when tired and sore, so sometimes our minds are not at 100% capacity to fully judge a film. Regardless give it a try.
So between training, baking and watching movies and of course working now two jobs one at SA and the other being a film critic i have been very busy watching the stars lose and watching storms. It is storm season in Texas and surrounding areas so there has definatly been some horrible storms. Carley send me this movie about a current storm, pretty crazy stuff.

Anyways I will post after florida to let everyone know how it goes, i am training fast right now so now i need to show up and do it in a race. And if all goes well, i will have some extra energy to have some fun @ Disney World.
Happy Birthday Ryan!!
