"Dang, You Look Good in Those Bike Shorts"...Said No One, Ever


I mean, really.

As I previously mentioned here, I was invited to be a race ambassador for the Dilettante Chocolate Women's Triathlon on June 15th!  I will be doing the Sprint distance, but there is an Olympic distance race as well.  It will take place at Five Mile Lake Park in Kent, Washington.

They have every category you can think of: age group, Athena, 2-person and 3-person relays, and a friends and family category!  You just have to be at least 12 years old by December 31, 2013 (and if you're reading this then I would bet you are).

While I have not been following a formal triathlon training plan, I did start focusing on biking since it is my weakest sport...aside from swimming.

First off, I TriGuy put cages on my pedals so I can pump with more power.


Oh yeah.  Feel the burn!

I have also been building my strength and balance and I can now bike one-handed.


I can even stretch my arms over my head, or rest my hands on my hips while pedaling!


Look Ma, no hands!

And if you can believe it, I have managed to hone my water bottle skills!


Well, sort of.

Oh. There's one little caveat.  I mean, it's just a minor thing, really.

I'm doing all this on my trainer.


In front of a mirror.


While watching movies on my iPad.


It's a work in progress.

So!  I'm getting ready for you--yes YOU--to do this tri with me! Do you want more motivation to sign up?  How about this:

You can get $10 OFF your registration by entering the coupon code TRI-INGDWT13.

Still want more?  Alright, check this out!

They'll have chip timing, chocolate, pretty tech race tees for purchase, post-race food with chocolate, finisher's medals, chocolate...what else, what else? OH!

A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!

*As a race ambassador, I was provided with a free race entry in exchange for promoting the Dilettante Women's Triathlon.  

UPCOMING POSTS: MORE RUNNING, SWIMMING, YOGA (MAYBE),  AND I'LL BE GUEST POSTING SOON AT THE SARCASM GODDESS' SITE!
