17 DAYS TILL THE TRIATHLON!!!

AAAHHHHHH!!!!

We still have tons of fundraising to go! Boooo and we are getting closer and closer to the race! We had our tri-clinic and they scared the beejesus out of us. Now we have 17 days to learn how to swim in a wetsuit, change a flat tire and learn to catch someone's swimming draft. And possibly get a road bike because our 50 lb bikes aren't cutting it!

This has been a lot of fun, and I can't wait for the big day! Although, I have to admit, my butt hurts from bike riding and I just can't really get used to it. Although, I am nervous about buying a new bike because 1)they are expensive, and 2) I don't know if I can get used to the clips in time. I am a bit of a klutz as is, so that might be no bueno.

I also have horrible shin splints that keep getting worse and worse. I am hoping to continue to build up my calves and quads to make them stronger, but I think the adrenaline of the race might carry me through.

I'd also like to mention that I now completely understand why sharks eat people in wetsuits. We absolutely look like delicious looking love morsels, aka seals. I am just happy I am swimming in a lake and not the ocean. Hopefully some Kokannee salmon doesn't bite me for looking like a hostess cupcake. :)

Either way, training is good!

Finalizing our fundraiser! More details to come
