Argie bargie in the women’s sprint semi finals.

Emma Davis Finishes 37th in the Women’s Triathlon at the 2008 Olympics. Well done to Emma, our first ever Olympic Triathlete! Update: There’s a very good report on the Triathlon Ireland website of Emma’s race.

Set your alarm clocks now! At 3am Irish time tomorrow, Emma Davis will become Ireland’s first Olympic Triathlete as she competes in the Beijing 2008 games. The race is taking place at the Ming Tomb Reservoir…great name. We haven’t been so lucky on the track or in the pool so far, so let’s hope Emma does herself proud and kicks some ass.

If you’ve haven’t managed to catch an Olympic triathlon on TV before make sure you check it out; it is incredibly exciting to watch! I am flying to the UK for work tonight, so I will probably not get to see the race….if any kind soul out there wants to DivX the race and make it available through some sort of filesharing application, that would be sweet.

Things are going well; we’re working on some kick-ass projects in work - and it’s nearly time for our Christmas break :) My brother (who’ll be home tomorrow from Chicago and will be brining my new camera) launches a new blog. Oh, I’m getting a new camera. Yay!

I’ve been drawn out of the hat to take part in the 2008 Escape from Alcatraz triathlon. Should I go for it? Answers on a postcard. Exciting, terrifying, expensive.

What else. Hmm. Nothing for now.

On the recommendation of those in the know, i’m learning Ruby, Rails, and some new(ish) web development technologies to keep my mind from stagnating. Learning is fun!
