It's a love hate thing

I have a couple of months "off". It's not that I'm on the couch as much as I'm switching it up for the sake of my joints. I've been injury free, knock on wood, and it's time for me to give these old bones a bit of a rest. It's getting hotter, and the pool is looking cooler and cooler- so it's a triathlon in August then. But let me say this, I hate hate hate how much crap is involved in this sport. Special suit that costs $200, a couple grand on a bike, special shoe laces, special sunglasses, special sunscreen! Give me a break. I don't want to sound snooty, but I'm not going to buy any of that crap, and I'm going to beat all those dudes that are suckered into it.

Tomorrow I'm getting dunked (body fat tested) and given a starting point. I know I have some to lose, so it's more exciting than anything. Another busy one tomorrow, but now that I have a new goal- it's game on. Ya'll buy your $100 compression shorts, they won't save you from the beat down. Word.
