2008 Fathers Day Gold Coast Sprint Tri
This Fathers Day I competed in the LI Gold Coast Tri in Port Washington at Bar Beach. I slept over at Mom's with the kids so I would only have to wake up at 5 and not 4 so I could get more sleep...

Second, it seems all of Huntington decided to move the party scene from downtown to the former JJs parking lot behind my mom's house... until 4:30ish am. I didn't really need the 5 am alarm cause I was up and pissy. So come 5am I pack up the truck with my gear and realize I need some coffee or I'm falling asleep and going down in a fiery crash on the LIE. So what's open at 5am on a holiday sunday? Duncan Donuts of course so I in my infinite, sleep deprived wisdom I order a large coffee, two gatorades (I need to keep hydrated) and a crossaint. Breakfast of champions.
