SPUDMAN!!!

Wow what can I say, that was a good time!!! Dare I say GREAT time! Well, after completely having a freakout the day before and becoming so nervous that I was snapping at everyone, giggling hystrically, crying, panicking, and then the calm of denial sank in and everything seemed fine. Then, of course, the whole process started over again, snapping, giggling, crying panicking etc—you get the idea! But I ended up having so much fun, the swim was great, the hardest part of that was getting out of the wet suit, I looked similar to a sick animal shedding skin that does not want to come off, convulsing, dislocating body parts, that kind of thing.


But as soon as that thing was off, I was off with a smile on my face. I met a lot of nice people who were very encouraging as they passed, and I had great cheerleaders at every station. My sister and two brother in-laws came to support us all (me, Steve, my sister and little brother) and it made all the difference having some people there cheering us on. I wish I had that for my everyday tasks “Great job changing that diaper” “Way to go on that laundry” “Wow that shirt looks white” “your doing a great job cleaning that toilet”, little cheers when you change to a new chore, that would be great!!

I will definitely sign up for the Spudman next year, and I am currently considering the Bear Lake Brawl Triathlon. And as far as the bike, as I said, I loved the entire triathlon and did not heave my bike off a cliff (it wasn’t my bike) and am currently in the market for a bike and a sassy biker shirt!!

Total time 3 hours 3 minutes and blah blah blah seconds!! I am aiming for under 3 next year.
