Ten Things of Thankful. The Procrastinators Sprint Triathlon Edition.
I’ve got a triathlon next weekend. Which is great.
Except I’ve not been doing much in the way of training for it — especially this week while at the beach with the extended family.
So I’m trying to muster up positive thoughts about why this is a very good thing.
10. I will be well rested.
9. I did get rather a good arm workout on Wednesday deep sea fishing.
I will be able to pull myself through the water so much better. Okay. That didn’t even sound convincing to my mom.
8. It’s only a sprint.
“It’s only a sprint” is thought by anyone who,
a. never has done a sprint triathlon before.
b. keeps themselves naturally in tippy-top shape.
c. is 30 years old or younger.
c. is an absurd genetic freak of nature.
7. I have been continuously hydrating on Chardonnay this week.
6. I biked miles at a blistering 5 mph in the broiling sun on a beach cruiser.
Once or twice.
5. Got out in the Gulf with my goggles and had some most excellent open water swims.
The swim next weekend is 500 yards. I got at least a couple of 500 feet in.
4. Tan most excellent camouflage of cellulite.
I definitely will look more fit with my tan in my tri-wear.
3. Can’t think of anything.
2. I will be setting a good low expectation time to easily best the other two triathlons I have planned this summer.
ha.
1. And I have the health and strength that day — Lord willing — to do it. Just thanking the Lord for each day he gives me ability. Even a slacker’s, procrastinator’s ability.
