Win it for SwaYze

Last Saturday was packed with events like:

bird watching with MW at Antelope Island and Farmington Bay

tailgate parties

football games

Can't see the score? Yeah well that was by design - you know why.

and house warming parties for this lovely lady (I stole this from her facebook page).

I don't think BYU's football team cared that much about Patrick Swayze.

This Saturday is packed with moving, buddy walk, golf, bike ride, church meetings, old friends, new friends, and maybe a late movie.

Cooking For One with Katy - Episode 14

This version is missing some critical footage from our high school lip sync. However SRH is working on finding it so possibly a newer version will be more complete.

And yes, I realize I have not published episode 13 yet but I will soon.

My new addiction has been keeping me very busy. I might be doing the pumpkinman on October 17th. By the way, does anyone want to sponsor me? If you pay for my registration fees, I'll wear any t-shirt you want and then blog about it and post pics on facebook. Think of all that publicity!!! Just to be clear, if you sponsor me, I will not win anything but I will always finish.

Anyone want to tri?

Here are some pictures from yesterday's triathlon at Bear Lake.

AFTER:

I consider swimming my strongest of the three sports. I prepared for the open water swim at Utah Lake and at Deer Creek. I felt prepared. However, I was not. I'm not sure why, but I freaked out in the water and could never catch my breath. I couldn't swim freestyle so I ended up swimming breaststroke and sidestroke. I tried backstroke but the waves at the lake made me sea sick. I am very disappointed about this part of the triathlon. The bike and run were OK - probably better than the last triathlon.

I feel I need to do another open water triathlon soon so I can conquer this problem and not let time build up more anxiety about swimming in the open water. I think I might have been able to calm down and actually swim as I know I can if I had someone with me. So ... here is my question - who wants to do a triathlon this fall in St. George (Kokopelli on Sept 26th) or Las Vegas (Pumpkinman on Oct 17th)? Please post a comment or email me: katy_knight@mac.com

It would be best if you are a woman in your early thirties (then we would most likely start together in the same heat).

I posted this on Monday about training for the Bear Lake triathlon.

Cooking for One with Katy - Episode #12

GYOSA with Kristi

What did you call me?

Kmetzsch ... (its their last name, relax)

These are the Kmetzsch girls with the awesome Julie. These girls really really like BYU football. Last year I was invited to a couple of games. They always have tailgate parties and some form of player stalking ritual. Its a good time.

Check out some pics from last year HERE.

These girls took care of me when I tore my achilles tendon about four years ago. I love posting this picture cause I think it is really cool. Sorry if it grosses you out.

They would bring me food and we'd watch television or movies. In fact, we bonded over Big Brother. We still have BB parties every once in a while.

Like tonight - I got a call from these girls. They were coming to Provo to buy the new football t-shirt so I joined them on their trip to the bookstore. Kristin saw my post about how I lost my BYU ID so she found this for me:

We all got t-shirts.

When we walked out the rain was coming down and hard - you remember.

Then we watched as Jesse was voted out of the BB house due to Jeff's wizard power. It was a great episode.

On an unrelated topic, if you care - tell me if you like these new sunglasses. I'm debating about returning them. A simple thumbs up or thumbs down will do. Preciatecha ...
