I find myself having to apologize every time I write a post due to the absurd amount of time in between each one of my posts. Even though 85% of the posts on my blog are crap, they still require a minimum of 45 minutes, to an hour for me to reword, analyze, and attempt to catch all of my grammatical errors, just for me to read it again after I post, and find a shitload of errors. If only I had the time and patience to do this every night, My blog would be much bigger and better than what it is currently.
I truly do enjoy writing. Its a way to correctly express the way I'm feeling, without fudging up the wording. It also gives me a feeling of accomplishment to see what my brain spits out on paper (or word processor). When I was still in school, I would always prefer to submit a lengthy paper to my prof for a final grade rather than have to study my ass off just to pick up that D- on my test. Writing and sharing my story of triathlon has been a very nice experience in which I have enjoyed thoroughly, and my hope is to continue to write, and maybe even do it more than once a month.
I have continued my investment and progress in the wonderful world of multi sport racing. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new gear from Blue Seventy. I have purchased their Helix wetsuit, which you can see HERE. Seriously, check it out, its one of the best suits on the market today, and honestly has the potential to shave not seconds, but minutes off of my swim time in M dot Branson! My wetsuit is traveling via UPS Ground with its friends, the Hydra-Vision Goggles and Race Belt. I will hopefully see these fun goodies arrive before my race next weekend!
The Dakota Man Triathlon is next weekend, and its being held in my own stomping grounds. This will be my very first race in open water. As of last night, there were only around 60 racers signed up, which makes me feel a sense of comfort as its not 1000 racers, trying to scratch and pull their way over me, damn near drowning my ass. With a smaller pool of racers, I will have no problem sitting in the front at the start of the race. I have a goal to be one of the first 10 racers out of the water next weekend. Yippee Skippee!
I do need to get at least one LONG bike ride in before the race, and if weather cooperates, I will be hittin' the highway tomorrow early morning. So if you would like, feel free to search the roads tomorrow to find me and give me a cup of coffee! That would be greatly appreciated.
I will try to get another post up before the race next weekend. The content will probably be coupled with a beeming ear to ear self portrait, holding up my new wetsuit! I know you can't wait to see that... me either!
Blessings,
