Happy Friday!

My Yay! I get to do a triathlon tomorrow song:





So tomorrow will only be my 2nd triathlon of the season but I am so excited even if it is just a sprint.  It is not a reverse even though the swim is in a pool which means if you are seated in the middle, like me, by the time you get to the run it's usually pretty hot!  The last time I did this one was 2007, I got 1st in my AG, and I puked at the finish from the heat.  So I hope to have a good performance on this one!  I found out that they recommend you wearing a shirt during the bike because if it rains tonight our bike route will have gravel on it that they won't be able to sweep so they are telling us that if we wreck the shirt my help!!!

I borrowed this list I found let's see how many I can relate to:

Top 10 Reasons You know you are a Triathlete 

1.  You have a $4000 bike strapped on top of your $2000 car. 

 I think at this point both my car and bike have lost most of their value but at one point yes, that may have been true.  I love my bike so much I've had it for over 10 years and hope I never have to replace it.  I also lucked out and got to buy it at cost from a friend of the fams!

2.  You have more water bottles than glasses in your cupboard!

I had to move the water bottles into the closet where I know have them in 2 large mesh bags!!

3. During the vacations, when everybody else is partying, you go to sleep at 10:00pm because you're going for a long ride the next day. 

I've done my share of partying but I've also done my share of skipping vacations in order to get my training in.

4. You think an Ironman is easier then a Marathon because you don't have to start by running fast. 

HAAAA!  I've totally said I would do an IM again before ever doing another marathon.  I swear a marathon hurts much worse than an IM...

5. The dog runs away when you get the leash! 

I wish!! I haven't gotten there yet that monster can run like there's no tomorrow!!!

6. You're always wet! Either sweat, pool water, sea water, shower water, bath water or its p*****g down outside! 

Or how about I'm always in workout clothes...  (people see me on the weekends and always assume i just got done working out.

7.  Your company announces mandatory unpaid shutdown days - every other Friday thoughout the summer - in order to cut costs and stay in business, and your response is;Great - now I can do two long workouts on the weekends and still have an easy day. 

I would LOVE this!  I already tried to negotiate for 4/10s and all I got was 1/2 shift to an early start and end but that gives me a little more time for longer workouts!

8. You were awake for the Northridge quake (4:30 AM) because you were out running ... and you showed up for 6 AM Masters swim workout and wondered where everybody was. 

N/A 

9. Nobody believes you when you say 'Never again'.

:-0  Guilty hence I did another marathon.  But never again on the IM.... hmmmm

10. You take part in the corporate challenge to improve your base speed. 

I totally took part in our "Spring Into Motion" event!

 What would you add to this list?
