Lonestar Olympic Triathlon 2010 was officially turned into a biathlon Saturday morning due to high winds. Although we were disappointed, the day was still good. Here are a few of my favorite things of the cycling portion:
1. meeting another triathlete whose blog I read!
2. seeing lots of "regular" people participating
3. volunteering at packet pick up
4. feeling strong on the bike/going faster than I expected
5. being able to pass other cyclists within 15 seconds!
6. knowing what to do when I got a flat tire!
7. having ironman support finish up the flat tire change!
8. catching up and passing other cyclists after getting my tire changed!
9. getting cheers from people in the town as we cycled past
10. feeling like the 25 miles went by pretty quickly!

homemade enchiladas
One of our family's most favorite dinners is enchiladas. I have gotten to where I don't like to eat out much at all. And I don't mind making enchiladas now that I've learned a new way to soften the tortillas. Since we just finished a batch of yummy homemade enchiladas, here are a few of my favorite things about them:
1. can make them nearly any time now that I soften them in the oven instead of frying in oil on stove top
2, everyone eats them, and a lot of them
3. have found a really good more authentic, although canned, sauce
4. it is MUCH cheaper for us to eat at home
5. they taste so good!
6. make a large batch, even occasionally have leftovers
7. they freeze well
8. less fattening to make them at home
9. very filling
10. they go a long way
