A busy weekend

One of Fernando’s co-workers decided to throw him a baby shower on Friday morning. I felt a little nervous going since I have only met his co-workers one or two times, and some I hadn’t even met before. But it went better than expected. More than half of the guests were male, and I’m sure it was the first time any of them had been to a shower. It was held in a conference room, and was catered with yummy breakfast foods. We started off by playing a game called “Who’s the daddy?” where we had to look at pictures of children and figure out who their celebrity parents were. The only answer I knew was Brad and Angie’s. I guess I need to read magazines more often.
Basically I sat back and let Fernando do all of the opening of gifts since after all, it was his shower.
The shower ended promptly after one hour since the conference room was reserved afterwards. (which was a huge difference from showers in the past that I’ve been to.) Can’t say I minded it at all. Overall it was a fun time, and super nice of Fernando’s co-workers to do for us. Thanks guys!
Saturday morning we woke up at 4:20 to meet up with some friends and drive to Clearlake for Fernando’s first triathlon.

We were both nervous since the forecast predicted 107 degrees all weekend, but the heat wasn’t really a problem at all.
Sadly I somehow missed him transitioning after the swim. But I caught this picture after the race.
Here he is starting his run
Ending with a strong finish
He said he completed his two goals:
#1- not drowning
#2- finishing under 1.5 hrs
I was very impressed, and exhausted watching all those people running around. But mainly very proud that he did so well. I don’t think I could do it.
I think there’s a possibility of more triathlons in the future.
Our friend Ashley was a super star and placed 3rd in her age group!
