Whoop Whoop!

Well it has been an arse kicker of a week for me. My training has ramped up and I am remembering how it feels to be so.very.tired.

Rather than bore you with the gory whatfores, I will take my turn at this game Amy tagged me in.

The rules are:
1. Fill it out
2. Change one question with one of your own
3. Add an additional question
4. Tag 3 other people to do the same

my thermal tights (unfortunately)

Oatmeal, almonds for first breakfast, 2 eggs and 2 toasts for 2nd breakfast

5. Say something to the person who tagged you:

18. Whats your favorite holiday?
Any holiday I get to spend with family. But I really love birthdays.

19. How many pairs of shoes (not just running) do you have??
This is an area of contention in our house, so I'm not counting! But I have less than 5 pairs of non running shoes. And many many (many) running shoes.

20. Tell us one random thing about you.
I was the shortest person in my school (grades 7-12) when I was in grade 7. They lined us up tallest to shortest for some picture thing and I was at the very back. I actually physically forced the kid in front of me to switch places with me. I was, (and still am), small but mighty.

21. Why did you start your blog?
I started it as a training log, and never imagined anyone other than D and maybe some family would read it.

22. (The question I added) What is your silliest/ most embarrassing triathlete rookie story?
When I was training for my first tri I went to a clinic to learn about transitions etc. They told us to make sure we practice everything so that we would be prepared on race day. So I went home and set my bike up in the basement with all my transition gear. Then I put on my wetsuit, got in the shower and then ran downstairs, practicing getting it off, and getting dressed while wet. The 2nd or 3rd time I did it I slipped on the hardwood floors and nearly flew down the stairs. :)
I guess I take preparation more seriously than others because it wasn't until I shared what I had done that I found out how ridiculous I was...

Tag! You're it.. (I picked 4)
