So, I'm checking the forecast for Ironman this weekend, which I knew could possibly be warm (or raining. or cold. or...), and see it's probably going to be mid-70s and sunny. Hmm, arm coolers. I should have bought those. You see, I thought about it a while back, but we've had a pretty cool spring, so I put it in the back of my mind.
I check TE, lo and behold, TWO kinds of arm coolers, and a bunch of arm warmers that I also clicked on because they are cute and awesome (though I don't need those, my sugoi mini-pirates are perfect). I select a pair, check out the 13 sale and pick up a TE tshirt, and while I'm here an extra stick of bodyglide (one can never have too many). This was all around 9am today.
Before I could blink, the order was processed and prepped for shipping, tracking number in hand, priority mail. Since TE is in Oregon and I'm in WA, I'll get it within the next couple of days, and I won't have to stress about whether I should have bought those darn arm warmers or whether they'll be here in time or whether one of the IM stores will have them, OR OR OR...
Not to mention, you brought me this great community of people, and are super inspiring people yourselves.
So, thanks, TE. I love you.
(There are probably other TE love threads in other places, but I couldn't find one that was recent.)
