Danskin is (?) a go

August 14, 2004

Well I thought about it and I decided that I'm going to give it the college

tri. There is TONS of support on the Danskin...the place is lousy with

volunteers. If I get sick, I can just bail. But if I don't try, I think I'll

be disappointed in myself.

So today I'm going to go get body marked and rack my bike. If I wake up

tomorrow with an alien protruding from my lower intestine, or more clog

dancing going on from the troll living there, I simply won't go. But

otherwise I will. I'll just take it easy and relax knowing I'm not out to

set any personal bests, just beat this troll! I'm not going to let some

drooling, one-eye-per-family-sharing, stomping around children eating,

creature from Norse mythology keep me from doing something I've worked so

hard for!

So I just got up (yeah, it's 4:00 a.m.) and lubed my bike and talked sweetly

to her and gave her a little kiss. I'm going to check tire pressure later

this morning and give it a run about the neighborhood so she can work out

her friskiness. She's been in the stall for three weeks now.

The race starts Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m.! I'll be doing my gratitude

prayers in the water at some point in there, so if anyone wants a damp

prayer sent up for them let me know. (It helps me relax while I swim if I

pray for other people and think about what things I am grateful for.)

Woo! I'm like Steve Erwin pumped here, Mate! Woo!
