VEGAS Baby VEGAS! aka How not to recover

So here I am at the computer for the second time since rockman. Just to give you a clue on how not to recover from a half iron here is my week.;

Finish half iron man in 5:38:38. Drive 2 hours to indiana and get wasted off 3 beers. Ride in the car for 4 more hours to get home. Sleep 5 hours. Get up to fly to vegas (total time 7 hours of flying and driving). Work show floor for 6 hours. Eat dinner and try to drink the town out of Corona’s (fruit is good for you right?). Sleep 5 hours. work show floor for 9 hours. Try to find all the corona I didn’t drink the night before lose $300 at the tables. Sleep 3 hours. Work the show floor for 8 hours. Discover that a new shipment of Corona has arrived in vegas - drink shipment. Post on slowtwitch. Pray for a vacancy at the Betty. Drink more Corona. Tomorrow i will work the floor form 8:00 - 12:00 and not get home until 12:00. I hope to sleep until Monday.

Hilarious! I had a somewhat similar experience after IMLP last year. I went to Manhattan/Times Square to be a tourist for 4-5 days and just about killed myself!

you mean…thats how the right way to do it… :::::gasp::::::

Nice seeing you and the wife at the party !

We just got home yesterday too, even though we live only an hour away !

This was my recovery:

Liking the campground so much we stayed 2 extra nights = $ 14
Buying a fishing pole and tackle box for son at Farm & Fleet = 19.99
Watching a five year old catch his first fish = Priceless

Aaaah, what a change of pace, I am so glad I had a couple of vacation days. My wife was complaining of me groaning loudly every time I had to get out of the hammock.
