So last night, I went to an IT08 social. Let me tell you…they got some pretty crazy folks on that team! I can’t believe that I will be spending as much time as I will with them in the next year! I met the infamous Kamal famous for his FK rides- you know those rides that are supposed to be 100 miles but it turns out that its actually 120? He listed out key events for the upcoming season. I’ve listed them out with my initial thoughts:
Sprint Tri in freezing waters- How freezing are we talking here? Back in March, Coach James made us swim in 45 degree water at Aquatic Park. I literally thought my face was going to fall off. It was beyond freezing! It took hours for me to just get painful tingly feeling out of my toes. It was still hurting hours after the swim when we went to MJ’s to rehearse our “Bringing Spandex Back” skit! If the water is below 45..I ain’t going in. I love the water but let’s not be excessive here! I like my toes..I’d like to keep them thank you very much!
Louie Tri in freezing waters- Alright..anything for Louie! Who is Louie? Get ready to be inspired my friend!

bootcamps- How is this different from the Berryessa camp I keep hearing about? I asked? Kamal said,”oh no no..different..you wait and see.” I got scared. I think I should be scared!
fundraising- For a great cause..I’ve been getting good at asking for money..I think?
fun parties- Would I still have energy for fun parties?
fun people- I sure hope so!
Half-way to Iron- I think this is the Wildflower training weekend in March?
UVAS- Do I even want to know what this stands for?
Berryessa- I keep hearing about it..apparently its HOT there!
Livermore rides against the wind- Great, more wind! Boo wind!
East Bay Century- I am assuming this includes the Three Bears Loop..??
Triple Brick- Well, that’s going to be a long day! I think it goes something like..bike 30..run 5 or 7…repeat and repeat again.
Special Needs Bags- It better be pretty special in there! I’m talking there better be some vicodin in there and not just thermolytes! Anything that’ll bring me to a happy place! Haha. That’s for Heidi- happy place!
More importantly why people come back again and again!- Right….(with a look of uncertainty..)
Highlight of the evening was when Deb signed up as well!! Sweet- it’s going to be a fun season!
