Iron Girl
I have to take this opportunity to make fun of Lisa and her hard core ways. There are about 9 of us training for the upcoming Iron Girl Triathlon (in less than two weeks..yipes). Every time we talk, somebody is complaining about how they are not training hard enough etc etc. The last few months have just turned into one big guilt trip (like when you hear someone had a great swim while you instead sat on the couch and watched 'SYTYCD' (So You Think You Can Dance)!
Lisa is a great athlete and competitive (yes, hard to believe). So last night we had a bunch to do and ended up commiserating about how we both skipped our workout (or so I thought). Note that each of us takes great comfort in knowing the other also skipped the workout. A little bit later in the evening Lisa happened to mention something about "On my run home from work". AH HEM, EXCUSE ME?
Yes, Lisa runs home from work many days and she merely considers this a 'commute'. I find great humor in the fact that she doesn't consider a 3 mile run a workout!!!! As we talked further about this, I realize that I am not as competitive as I thought, Lisa definitely takes this cake!
I didn't even get in to her behavior on actual race days. I remember vowing some time ago never to travel with her again on the morning of a race, but meet her after we finish..ha!
Watch out girls of Columbia, Lisa's already got her game face on!
Love you Lissie.

Well, since you're all dying to hear from the Competitive Lisa, here I am! So it's true, training makes you psycho (notice how i don't admit i'm psycho on my own). You can always be One-Upped by someone, and once you hear what the real overachievers are doing, you swear your a SLACKER. So i've decided that the only way to actually train till the finish is to consider myself a full-time slacker. Jill had the benefit of being my victim last night, as I took much glee in noting the absence of her Tues night work out. (Sorry, Jill)
So i run home from work -- true. since it is literally a commute for me, I really haven't factored it into the training regime, which is like 10 hours a day (embellisment for effect, what do you think?)
I'll just NOT take this opportunity to discuss how crazy competitive Rillers is, too...
Love you TOO, rillers.
