Undertrained, Unprepared and Underpacked.

I’m almost certain I will forget something even though I have three bags of things needed for the sprint tri: wine, shoes and other stuff – so I should be all set – and yet there is just so much to take it’s bordering the ridiculous. A new bike would not be bordering ridiculous though, and yet I still don’t have one. No, no I don’t. If anyone out there wants to call or text the Chef and demand a new bike for Runner Susan, I’d find unmentionable and pleasurable ways to reward you.

Anyhow, I’m not freaking out about the totally not pleasurable swim since I really didn’t train AT ALL and since there is no air in the water I am totally prepared to come in last. And hopefully not last by remaining at the bottom of the pool for the rest of my life. I honestly wish Cherry Berry could do the swim for me because I’d totally win. She’s a pro-swimmer that girl.

Here I go. Reporting back on Monday! Hopefully.

Like I said, you will not drown or come in last. Guaranteed there will be a swimmer that freaks out and needs to get hooked out of the water by a lifeguard. My bike has been confirmed to be garbage and my husband won’t let me get a new one. If you have any tips let me know.

Just keep moving forward on the swim…backstroke, sidestroke, freestyle, doggie paddle, walk, whatever…just keep going. Best of luck to you!

Have fun Susan. Don’t lose your bike in the transition area! Knock’em dead in the run leg.

Can’t believe the Chef won’t fork out for a proper Tri bike!

Good luck for the tri. I’d put one of Chef’s bikes on ebay.

Send me the Chef’s phone number and you will soon have a new bike!

Can’t wait to read your race report.
