a run a climb a (new) bike and some sushi

last night was one of those nights when you do more than you think possible. started out by shedding my suit at the office for some running shorts and my camel back to meet up with my "adventure" racing team. we then ran about 8 miles to one of those tall condo buildings on the north shore and proceeded to quickly climb 40 stories. then a quick view from the roof, then a quick dip in the pool. . .

at that point, i had to drag myself back down to bucktown to pick up my (new to me) tri-bike. my previous racing bike having been stolen in broad daylight from outside my gym, i needed a replacement. so i'm now the proud owner of a 2004 quintana roo "ti-phoon" that was previously built for none other than Michael Lovato. (now i'm sure to place in every race i do. . . ) let's hear it for craigslist!

then i shlepped back up to the hood for some wine and sushi at wakamono, a cool little sushi spot from the people that brought us "ping-pong."

all in all, much more fun than i'm used to these days on a school night. i'll have to enjoy these "free" nights while i can before the kid arrives!

Umm... pictures of tri-bike, please? Those of us with equipment envy must live vicariously through you... and not to play DJ, but can i make a blog topic request? I would love to hear about the updates with adoption... trials and tribulations... what's the scoop??!!
