| Happy! |
My first triathlon is only days away. It was intended to be a training event for Wildflower which is only 15 days away but now seems to mean so much more! I have not been this excited about something like this since my days of college golf. I have been putting off going down to get a wetsuit in hopes that my body composition would continue to change and getting it too early would only prove to be a major financial mistake. I opted to rent one this go around because I still have major plans to decrease my overall body weight and body fat percentage. I went into the Sports Basement in Campbell, CA apprehensive and a bit timid, for those who know me personally that’s very out of character. I walked up and asked to rent a wetsuit. I was greeted and asked questions that hit me from left field. “What is your height and weight?” asked the lovely and helpful sales associate. I was taken back as that was not a question I expected, I quickly uttered “3 – I mean 235ish” I am not even sure that the employees noticed my quick mistake. After getting the instructions on how to put this bad boy on (way more details than one would expect, but all very helpful and NEEDED info) it became time to humble myself. I gazed at the reflection in the giant mirror for a quick second smiling, it’s my time –” I have earned this” were the thoughts that went through my head. I struggled slightly to get the thing on but I imagine that would be the case for anyone! I stood there ear to ear smiling when I realized that it fit as I wasn’t sure that they would even have one that would fit me. I wanted to share this small moment of joy with all of you as today I realized that I am about to become a triathlete!
