E-mail from me to my parents 9:50 PM:
July 24. i am signed up. i am so scared. at least i know i can do all the distances in the race. well, i can do them all separately-but that is a far cry from doing them all together. but now i need to learn how to run in a bathing suit. i might go to this triathlon clinic for women in manasses. and one interesting tri rule i found is that there is no public nudity in the transition areas. :) omg, i have no idea what i am doing...
ahhh, the madness begins.

I'm going to really like watching you prepare for this, Aurdrey. Almost makes me want to do a tri. Almost. I'd have to buy a bike, and then there's the Speedo issue. :D

Audrey this is so AWESOME!!! and so COOL!!! Fun! I'm almost tempted! ;) This is going to be so much fun! Can I go watch? When I get back I can definitely join you for some of your training, at least company in the pool or biking and what not. So what's the distance? I'm psyched for you!
PS. You can TOTALLY do this!!!

You're so funny! Don't worry, you won't have to strip down. For my first one, I bought a two piece tri suit (sports bra and bathing suit-looking bottom). It sheds the water and the bikini bottom has padding in the crotch, if you want to bike in it. And/or you can buy the padded bike shorts to go over the bikini bottom. Go to www.keithstriathlon.com and check out their closeout section. (I like "zoot" brand) It's a mom and pop business - you can even call the guy. Very helpful. He tried to sell me one of those wrestler looking suits (supposedly helps cut time), but you won't catch me in one of those things and it's not like I was going to win the race.
P.S. Sign up for the workshop! :)
