for your entertainment, i've added some pictures. this one to the right is my pink/black bathing suit swimming through the guantlet-where they line a pool lane with people on both sides and thrash you. awesome.
the dorkiest pictures are farther down; i was hoping most people wouldn't scroll. how come everyone else looks good in a swim cap?
this one right below is me sporting my sweet running skirt from target.

holy crap balls. yup. that's right. longest Team in Training workout today. got up at 6am and got home at 1:30pm. 53 miles on the bike in moss landing. for those of you that don't know it's a very odd area in a marshy, boring, and smelly part of monterey bay right in the middle of the drive from santa cruz to monterey. it's boring, and lame because you can't pass punks driving too slow, and now they've built it up as a tourist stop?!?! anyway, 53 MILES. that's my longest ever. i know all you centurians out there are laughing but i don't care. laugh it up. my ass bones hurt. actually, so much of me hurts that i can't walk. ya, so now i'm stuck here typing until tomorrow because i can't move. arnica montana hasn't kicked in yet. oh, and then we ran for 10 minutes. in case you are not a triathlete and were wondering, i can absolutely assure you that your body DOES NOT want to run after biking. it's not natural, your brain wasn't meant to switch from gears to legs, and your boobs definitely aren't ready for the sudden bounce. oh, and in case you were wondering about the length, yes, the full length i will have to ride is only 3 miles longer. so at least i know i can do that length. i'm just not sure if i will have all limbs in place at the end.
