Today is the bigger day for our — admittedly a little bit kooky — family. It’s the culmination of more than a year of work, sweat and not a little blood. It’s the end of a long, lonely period of time when there were only dudes in the house for a majority of the day. It’s the day that my crazylady competes in her first (and, please FSM, only) iron distance triathlon. That means she’s going to swim 2.5 miles, cycle 112 miles and then finish it all off with a nice, relaxing 26.2 mile run. That’s right, she warms down with a marathon.
So, yeah, crazylady.
Right now, we’re in Wilmington, NC, ready for the Beach to Battleship Triathlon. She’s going to exercise for approximately 15 hours and end up propelling herself 140.7 miles.
I was trying to be helpful a couple of days ago when I told her that, heck, I could drive that far in a little over two hours. I’d be glad to take her there and back and it wouldn’t take nearly as long. She just looked at me, long and mean. I decided to quit while I was only a little behind.
Anyway, we’re all going to be out here cheering her on every couple of hours, when she passes by where we’ll be camped out. We’re not following her. What? Do we look crazy? The little dudes, my in laws and lots of her friends and I are all going to be here and we’ll all be yelling. For about 37 seconds as she passes by. Then we’ll wander off and try to find something to keep us busy for a couple more hours until she gets ready to come by once again. So, yeah, it’s going to be a lot of fun for us.
We’ll try to survive the boredom. I mean, when did she think about us? We’re going to be out there all day with nothing much to do. That’s hard. I mean, really hard. It’s not like she’s. . . Oh, right. Yeah. The whole marathon thing. Never mind.
So. Go, crazylady! We’re all cheering for you, if only so she’ll finish earlier and we can get some serious partying in. Well, I’m sure we will. I’m not so sure about the crazylady.
