the danskin 100th women's triathlon

[verbicide]

Parts of it sucked. Parts of it ruled. But whatever it was, for better or for worse,

I am a triathlete.

Hooray!

Me, I ate chips and guacamole. But, ah, I was supporting you in spirit. *g*

You rawk.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

I know you were *grin* And god, chips and guacamole sound good.

Hey, wait a minute.

Yesterday, I:

Ran
Wrestled
and Swam

I'm a triathlete too! :)

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

All right, high five!

[archaica.livejournal.com]

heh.

I should in fairness add that all three were part of a pool party, and extreme roughhousing of which I was not the instigator.

(OK, one of the episodes of wrestling came after I pantsed someone. But it was instigated by someone else, and I ran away before being forced into wrestling. Considering the other guy has 50 pounds on me, is a weightlifter and studies martial arts, I did pretty well)

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Okay, you are too funny.

[archaica.livejournal.com]

I don't think he found the pantsing too funny!

(This party rapidly got out of hand .... at least in the "people being thrown into pools" category. Yes, I myself was one of the throwers .... and the thrown.)

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I loved the 'which I did not instigate' comment immediately preceding the 'pantsing' note.

Troublemaker!

Good for you! That's really something to be proud of. I know how worried you were, but you survived - and it's one of those things that's great to *have done* (even if not so much fun while you're doing it). :)

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

I was really worried. But the day of, there was this weird calmness. My friends called it "The Resignation" stage.

They didn't have to drag me into any event. I charged into that revolting lake and swam without stopping. And that feels very good (now that I've showered).

And you've worded it perfectly, it's great to have done it, but man was it exhausting!

[euphrasie.livejournal.com]

I am SO proud of you.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuuuuuuuu! And it's so good to have you back, married lady! :)

[greyaenigma.livejournal.com]

Yay! Go you! Today I ate, waded in the ocean, and drove a hundred miles home. Not nearly as cool.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Your day sounds a lot more fun, though *grin*

[greyaenigma.livejournal.com]

Could be. I'd still wish I'd been healthy for the weekend, though.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

I hear ya :)

[dominicflandry.livejournal.com]

You rock !

I'm deeply impressed, (especially after reading your thoughts on swimming/cycling). You totally rule.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I think I'll still love swimming (in pools) and still enjoy cycling, but for fun and exercise, not for a race.

(Somewhat belated) Congratulations! I actually heard about the triathalon on the radio, the other day, and thought: "Oh! That's verbicide!"

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, Tony!
