Lessons learned this weekend:
1. I will never be a concert "groupie".
2. There's a reason they make padded bike shorts/seats.
So Friday night, Amber and I headed to Fair Park to see Matt Nathanson, Train, and Maroon 5 in concert. I was pretty excited. Like, 5-year old on Christmas morning excited. I've been to my share of Christian band concerts in churches, but never a 'real' 20,000-people-in-attendance-concert. And since it was on my 30 List and tickets were dirt cheap, we had to go.
Thankfully, Amber did not make me walk when I went a little nuts in the traffic getting there. It was stand-still on the highway, we were late, and I navigated her through the ghetto to get us there. Whew; she's a keeper. Here we are after making it to our seats. 
'Concert' has now been added to the list of best spots for people watching. There was the row of 18 year old girls in front of us that screamed the entire time and took a picture every 3 minutes or so. The dressed-all-in-black crew sitting next to us. The guy wearing this (creepy) Maroon 5 shirt and many, many more. Entertaining in so many ways... Here's a little bit of Train, via Amber's phone, since mine is lame. We actually left a few songs before the end, because let's face it, after one Adam Levine song, you've pretty much heard them all...!

This morning, I participated in an Indoor Triathlon at Lifetime Fitness. Perfect for the I-can't-swim-but-want-to-try-this-out newb. Let me tell ya, the event staff there had it together; I was way impressed overall. Very helpful, positive people. 10 minute swim in a lap pool, 10 minute transition, 30 minute bike on a spin bike, 5 minute transition, 20 minute run on a treadmill, earning points based on the distance traveled in each leg of the race. Very much geared towards people of all fitness levels. I highly recommend. Best part? No wetsuit rental/gear required. After I got off the treadmill, one of the ladies commented that I had great running form. I told her 'thanks, good thing you didn't see me flopping like a fish during the swim leg'!
