is that thunder?

yesterday I was down the road from the race location on Sunday so I decided to go around the block and check it out...  yep - exactly where it was last year...  still not sure how long the out and back bike ride goes for but it did confirm my memory of long rolling hills that seem to be more down than up...
it was spitting rain there but not too much
when i got back to the office - it poured down rain with thunder and wind for about half an hour...  when i called home I learned that it had not been raining near the house - so the swim was still on
wasnt really feeling it - the swim that is - so we ate some dinner and then dragged ourselves to the pool
there was a little thunder way in the distance as we got there...  i swam 300 yards - in an effort to test myself for that race i had not signed up for yet....  and then we thought maybe there was some more thunder...  swam another 200 yards and just really couldnt tell what was going on with the weather...
better safe than sorry we called it a night...
about 40 minutes later the skies opened up and a thunderstorm did in fact park itself right over the house for a good hour...  it was a scary storm in comparison to others - it must have passed right over head - it even had the dog more freaked out than normal...
so instead of watching some harry potter with our evening - we sat on the floor and listened to the storm - ultimately deciding to go to bed - comfort in the little guy's crate - not really - but good sleeping weather for me...
not sure what else i will do over the next 48 hours...
80 some spots still open in the other race - seriously considering it...
