Body marking...
is the (good?) walk of shame for triathletes...
...if I hide in my cube, how many people will actually notice? (Yes, that is this blog post on my computer screen)

Pond Monster Team Building
If I could do trust falls to establish a good relationship with the pond monsters, I would. However, because that would mean meeting one face to face, I guess I'll have to settle for my weekly anxiety attacks from 10pm Wednesday night to Thursday morning.
So of course it makes sense in the week after I bike the longest I have ever biked, that I post about running and swimming and not mention the bike...
Anyways, I finally made it across good ole Walden this morning. Unfortunately, it still doesn't count as a full mile do to some stingy GPS watches (yet another reason why I'm so reluctant to have watches) but I'm soooo close. We made it to the little sandy stopping spot and I look over at the other side and I'm like ugh I'm doing it.
Because it's so freakin early in the morning, naturally my mind is working in weird ways so of course I had country music in my head. More specifically Luke Bryan's song Country Girl and specifically the part where he says "gonna stomp my boots in the Georgia Mud." I decided that the other side was Georgia and kept thinking to myself that I was gonna go stomp my boots in it. So I'm finally there and I go jump up on the other side and decided I just "touched the butt" for all you Nemo fans out there. (I then had Disney songs stuck in my head but no one wants to swim back with "Be Prepared" from the Lion King going through your mind so I quickly switched back to the chorus of Country Girl.) You know, swimming is kind of like horizontal dancing...but that's a post for another time.
Country Girl just came on my Spotify. Weird.
In case you are unfamiliar with the cruel Medusa that is Walden Pond here is a nice geographically accurate map:
Also, for your listening pleasure, Country Girl, by Luke Bryan, just in case you need to shake it to the other side today ;)
Cat out!

It's the RIGHT way, ok??
I'm just going to go out there and say it: I'm a quirky person. I don't mean to be, I just tend to have strong preferences about odd things. Clearly which direction I'm running in is one of them.
I really only like to run clockwise.
There we go. I said it. I ran with a running group one time and they ran the reservoir COUNTER-clockwise and I was like O gosh....And then I had that moment where you feel social pressure because you don't really know these people and don't want to admit you're freakin weird vs being uncomfortable. I chose uncomfortable.Worst mile and a quarter. Ever. [read: blogger is over exaggerating big time]
So when I got an email saying I got off the wait-list for the Cohasset Tri, what were some selling points?
Well, let me show you the beginning of the course descriptions:
Bike:
Do this NOW to get this number."

Well, let me show you the beginning of the course descriptions:
Bike:
The clockwise bike course includes 12 miles of scenic roads winding through Cohasset and North Scituate.
Run:
The 3.2 mile clockwise run will loop around Little Harbor.
Also, here is the email from the race director when I said I was interested in picking up one of the newly vacated spots:
[..and then he gave me more instructions etc..]
Do this NOW to get this number."
LOVE the enthusiasm and clock-wise-ness, Cohasset Tri on Sunday, here we come!
( I will post about the Century ride this weekend, I never said I would blog chronologically!)
PS
Yes, I realize this issue is going to have severe implications on my NASCAR career, I'm working that out with my sponsors as we speak.

I'm a sucker for a great graduation speech...
This Wellesley teacher is getting a lot of hype about his controversial High School Graduation speech. I think it's bomb. It ties in nicely with the point of this blog. It's not special I do triathlons and yeah, I'm not that great at them, but I work hard and I do them.
"Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you"
...I mean, I do like to be seen butttttt that's not the point haha I also like how thus speech reminds me a lot of what my tattoo stands for. (Maybe I'll post about that someday.)
