busted finger = no triathalon

so, in a completely, utterly, brain dead move thursday I managed to slam my finger in the car door. It's swollen up to double size but, and the x-rays confirmed, it's not broken.

The downside is it hurts to touch, type, move. I tried swimming (way too painful), tried gripping the handlebars (way WAY too painful) and it throbs when walking (so running sounds worse).

guh.

Oh well, more time to prepare for next year (altho I'll be out of the water/weights/bike for a few weeks while this heals).

In other news, we're moving back to Sioux Falls. A quick search of apartments and we found one in the location we wanted (across the street from Sertoma Park). Good school for Taylor, great location (gym, park, bike trail), close to work, close to grocery store/mall. We move this coming week.

That sucks that you missed the tri, but it does mean you'll just tear it up next year. Did the bike trail yesterday and thought of you.. damn strong winds. :(
