It’s 4:40 am. On a Saturday morning. I’m out of bed.
“Why?” you ask?
Well, it’s still August, and I haven’t done an event this month. I’ve raced in an event every month this year, and I’d like to keep up the streak. So yesterday, I signed up for a sprint triathlon (that takes place today) in Hudson WI.
Wish me luck! I’ll be back with a report in a couple of hours.
(I’m nervous about the swim. WHY did I have to watch “Jaws” on TV last night?!? Am I STUPID?!? Jeez...)
Good luck steve! I'm up too at 4:40 a.m.
ReplyDeleteHa! Maybe that's the way to do it. Sign up the day before and there's less time for pre-race nerves to kick in. Good luck! (You're probably almost done already...)
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your race!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Careful of those notorious Wisconsin sharks!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? 4:40 am is prime time to get up! :P GOOD LUCK HOMIE!!
ReplyDeleteHA HA! I was swimming in Lake Mead yesterday and I thought about Jaws! Not sure anyone who has seen it is truly immune, no matter when the last viewing was.
ReplyDeleteI kept wondering if I'd see the shark's face . . .
Hi Steve:
ReplyDeleteI think you must be doing (have done) the Sprint in St. Croix. VERY FUN event!
The first year I did it, I figured out that I could touch the bottom of the river at the turnaround, so I WALKED most of the way back. I was a very "green" triathlete then. (And I don't mean from the algae)
Ha ha ha!
The Pig Roast after the event rocks, though!
Good luck!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, are you trying out the death outfit in a sprint to see if it will work for a 1/2?
ReplyDelete:)
Hope it went well. I had the shark dream last night too and have a bay swim tomorrow. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOne event every month all year long? That's a record in itself!!!
