Sixteen days until the Women of Steel Triathlon. Reading that makes me a bit more excited that you might imagine. Or it did until my one-piece race suit arrived on my doorstep yesterday afternoon. For some reason, before that…before I held that tiny spandex getup in my hands, I didn’t realize I would actually be running in all spandex.
I’m still enthusiastic and committed to the race – now I just have some attire anxiety. Is it really THAT bad if my transition times are 10 minutes and I run in sweatpants? I’m going to have to ask Coach Dave about that.
I thought that getting my picture taken in a swim cap and swimsuit for this Salt Lake Tribune article would be the highlight of my triathlon “stardom”. Now I’m told that we’ll be joined by a reporter and photographer from the Deseret News during our training on Friday. Someone is coming to photograph me in my head to toe spandex so. Oh…hey…wow…all my wildest dreams are coming true and it’s not even my birthday yet!
I am so running next to you in spirit, in my head to toe spandex. Wait, someone just threw-up on me that was running behind me. Guess I better put my clothes back on!
Good luck!
Kim
