A Crazy Idea

I’m planning on getting a bicycle to get to work each day. That should cut a whole hour out of my commute and get me some great exercise. Then I got a notice that lululemon is holding a run clinic and free clothing as well as your entrance fee into the National Capital Race Weekend is included. Now, I hate running. I don’t really see the purpose of it unless you are being chased. That said, I love me some lululemon clothing (or as my scene partner for acting class so eloquently put it: “Girls love that shit”) So, after two email reminders about the clinic, and my old roommate letting me know that she has also started running on a regular basis, I went in yesterday to sign up.

That got me thinking (which usually isn’t a good idea because then I start doing things like “write a play”): well if I’m cycling and running, I would just have to add swimming to do a triathlon.

DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!

I looked it up and there is something called “Try a Tri” which takes place on September 1st as part of the Canadian Iron Distance Triathlon. It’s kind of a Triathlon for beginners: 200m swim, 15K bike ride, and 5K run.

And on September 1st, I will be in it.

And maybe this guy, if I can properly appeal to his love of all things spandex.
