Have you ever had "one of those days?" Well, today was certainly mine! After forgetting my bathing suit and having to drive all the way home--by the way, the need to drive 30 minutes to a pool today is because Wednesday is the day I pick up my daughter early from her summer camp, and the place is 30 minutes away.
So...after retrieving my swimming attire, I went back out to my car to discover a tire so flat my car looked like the leaning Tower of Pisa!! Knowing that Sarah had to be picked up within an hour (I did a quick mathematical equation in my head--which for me is quite stunning) and figured out that I had two options: 1) call AAA and miss the pick up time for Sarah, or 2) try to do it myself and get it done within 30 minutes. I opted for the latter--in 102 degree heat! I know, I know...what was I thinking, right? But twenty-five minutes later, that flat tire was off and the new one was on!! So here's the kicker: during Ironman 2006 I had a couple of flat tires (you can read about that on my very first blog post) and today it took me less time to change a tire on my Passat than it did to change a bike tire during that race!! Go figure!
