Last weekend was the annual Tulsa Tough, a huge three-day bike festival for both pros and amateurs. Races took place all weekend around downtown and riverparks.
On Friday, we headed down to watch the criterion races through downtown. Thousands of people lined the streets the whole weekend to watch the cyclists speed by. It's CRAZY how fast they're going! They create a breeze that catches your hair as they ride past.

Eric and some friends rode in the grandfondo race on Saturday morning, a 68 mile trek all over downtown and surrounding areas of Tulsa. As I was walking over to the finish line, I ran into Beth cheering on her dad, who was also riding in the race! She made a cute sign, right? I wish I'd made a cute sign. Next year. :) I had a cowbell when Eric rode in. That counts for something, right?
68 miles... and done. :)

Saturday night, we headed to a friend's cookout and then back to the races for a little bit before totally crashing out. Eric rode almost 70 miles. I was just lame and tired. ;)
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday with margs and Mexican food.... perfection. :)
Tomorrow, I will be wearing my neon yellow shorts and party rocking with the best of them at LMFAO! And my upcoming weekend may or may not include seeing Afr0man at some point. What is happening to my life? haha...
I am freaking CRAWLING toward vacation. I wake up in the morning and immediately think of how many days we have left til we leave for Barbados. I come home and surf online for additional swimwear, shorts, and other stuff I don't need. Sorry if my posts are kinda meh right now. I'm having a hard time being motivated to do anything except think of what kind of beach hat I might want to take. ;)

Really impressed with Eric and the ride! I ride for like 5 miles and I'm done. And, I feel ya on the vacation anticipation. I made a list yesterday at lunch of all the things I need to pack, buy, etc. Can I just leave now??
btw- thanks for the super nice comment about the run! Though I must say, I am always so impressed by the Crossfit stuff...I'm pretty sure I would collapse and die if I tried it!
I was going to say the same thing as Kait--I am TERRIBLE on a bike and have no clue how people (your bf) are able to ride one for so long. Congrats to Eric! And I personally think there is no better way to end a race than hearing a cowbell. :) I am very jealous of your vacation but already excited about seeing the pictures. You're going to have so much fun!! And half of the fun is the preparation (surfing the web, buying cute suits, etc.) so I say enjoy it!
What a fun weekend! I love that blue dress you were wearing! Details please! HAHA :)
Congrats to Eric! That's so awesome that he completed the mileage! Woohoo, every day you get a little bit closer to vacation.
That's my stomping grounds! I love Tulsa!!! Born and Raised...just living in Texas at the moment. :)
