Went to REI to buy yet another case of Clif Shot Bloks (cran-razz). They are the best thing going for my metabolism and gut, so I'm sticking with what works. The checkout chickie said I must be "hard core" cuz i was buying the stuff by the case. She asked what my sport was, and I said biking. (that is my true love)
Hey, I got called "hard core"!!!!!
(much better than being called "sir") I floated high on that one for the rest of the day.
Really, I'm feeling much better now. You guys are great! Thank you for holding my hand and giving me a kick start in butt through this little crisis of faith.
I WILL do the triathlon in 2 weeks, and i WILL finish it!!

I still don't show up on the registration list. Whiiiiiiiine...
I left a message at the Danskin hotline, asking if I should be panicking yet.
Can you tell I'm just a LITTLE uptight about this whole tri thing??????

Well... uuummmm... most people who do triathlons... are Type A personalities. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

I know I am, and I think it's in my blood to be detailed, organized, and sometimes a little uptight.
But hey, our personalities drive us to complete goals!

Danskin Rules!
Ladies...I am in my third season of tri's of a variety of distances and venues, and Danskin is by far and above the best class act out there. It has the greatest diversity of athletes and epitimizes what a women's event should be...supportive and positive. It is truely an amazing adventure...so PLEASE dont give up the chance to participate in one. I had the unique priviledge this July of completing the cycling portion of the race along side one of the pros who had completed her race and returned to encourage others, never mentioning that she was a pro. Lauren Jensen is her name and she is just an amazing individual! The atmosphere of Danskin however is unique and do not count on other events being the same. I find the self-centered, unsupportive atmosphere of most tri's very disheartening. When you complete a race with 300 people and two coming or going have a positive word to say, there is a problem with the focus of the sport....SO please do Danskin and relish in all its splendor. You'll be back again...I promise!!!
YOU GO GIRLS!!!!
