First International match

Okay, for those of you looking for an update on the kids - they are doing fine. Tune out now, because the rest of this post is going to be about Jason.

First, my shoes (and spandex) finally came in so now I can start riding my new bike. I spent a bit of time riding this morning while I was getting the pedals set up and the bike tuned a little bit (i.e. pumping up the tires) and I think it was money well spent. So now I have no excuse for not training for the triathlon in Fort Macleod at the end of the summer. I think I'm down to about 3 weeks before the race and I haven't been in the water in awhile. Should be interesting.

Second, as of last night (and this is stretching reality) I consider myself an International Rugby Referee. There was a touring U18 side from England (a school north of Newcastle) that played the Lethbridge Rugby Club. I thought I did a pretty good job even though my legs started to give out in the second half. Overall, the outcome was right, nobody got (too) hurt, and I didn't miss (too many) calls. The best part, I got 1 free beer for my troubles. Damn I love this sport!
