the tri life

well folks, tomorrow is the start of my triathlon season. the only problem is i started not feeling so good yesterday and woke up sick this morning. totally congested in my chest. i am resting all day and am still going to give it a try tomorrow even though i can't really breathe. (who needs to breathe when you swim .9 miles, ride 24.8 miles and run 6.2 miles?)

i'm kinda bummed. but what do ya do? i can't control it. so i am just going to do my best.

speaking of best, i bought the best new thing EVER this week. a wetsuit. it's amazing. i mean AMAZING. not only does it keep you warm...but it helps you float and swim FASTER. like crazy faster. i've always heard people say it helps, but man i had no idea. (in fact, to be honest, i think it's kinda cheating but it's legal for this race so why let others get ahead.) :)

thought i'd post some pics for fun to show how much i am stylin'. (read: how stupid i really look.)

i'll post an update on how i do tomorrow. but don't expect a second place finish like last time... :(
