This weekend the Martini Twins did a mock tri. We’ve never done anything like this before and we had no clue what to expect. We survived and finished in 2:10 and that included our 30 minute swim. And that is when I decided that air is my best friend. Air is good. Air never fails me. And since there is no air under water, the concept of swimming is ridiculous. The exercise called sipping margaritas and floating aimlessly is the only appropriate water exercise.
Saturday we rode 20 miles and ran some and then on Sunday we swam 30 minutes, rode 13 miles and ran 3.2 miles and hung out with the neighborhood rooster for a while – it took us 2 hours and ten minutes. And if it wasn’t for the swimming, I might have some energy left today. Give me a half marathon any day, I say.
Anyhow, fun times, fun recovery and just plain fun hanging with friends!
Here’s some video and you’ll notice how far ahead we are of the pelopton, we’re fast like that. And training, recovery and party pictures for you to enjoy. I’ll post a protected update that does not include us dancing on the tables soon. Seriously, does not have any dancing pictures.
Anyhow, fun times, fun recovery and just plain fun hanging with friends! Pics and video to enjoy.

You have WAY too much fun!
But you 2 look the very most adorable in your goggles so clearly you were born to swim!
Where’s the rooster? I would ride more if I had a cute shirt like you.
What the sam hill has Tri training got to do with running?
Susan, I think you need a sock (or a piece of foam) over your mike. And don’t ever text while riding or you’ll be off the road and into the next ravine!
You are doing the events in the wrong order but I like it. Swim (with wine) last. Sweet photos too.
I like how you call the chef out as being in the back of the pack. The only thing you could have done better was yell, “Hi honey! Are they going too fast for you? I can ask them to slow down for you….”
….and please don’t refer to Assos as “Spanky Pants”. It’s like calling a fine wine “booze.”
You always have way too much fun, love your matchy matchy outfits, too cute. Don’t ever change!!!
So I was doing a little research and came across your blog and I think it’s a great concept. It’s nice to see that running has become such an important part of your life.
I wanted to let you know about a line of products that should help you with tris as well as running on its own. I work with Sof Sole and we are looking for bloggers who run just like you for a little feedback. For more company info, go to http://www.sofsole.com. Please reply with your mailing address and shoe size and I will get some free products right out to you. We would love for you to blog about your experience.
Look forward to hearing from you
OK…so how did you attach the camera to the bike? (these things I need to know)
The goggles are HAWT!
Got a little bit of the Blair Witch effect there during the run portion. My stomach’s now recovered so I can tell you I loved the conversations (and eating the bug!).
WoW!! That’s long. A sprint tri should take at most 90 minutes. half mile swim, 10 mile bike, 5k run. No more than a minute in transition.
As always love the video.
Lol! Heh heh great post and congratulations! And yes, drinking margaritas is a taxing job!
So, I was doing some research…blah. Look how smooth and confident you look on the bike. Best part of the video if you ask. Like it or not, you have become a roadie.
Because I like your sunglasses…what are they? Since you live in Texas and I live in Tennessee that won’t really be copying you too much, right? LOL.
