"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!!

Will Tri for Dilettante Chocolate

Well guys, my first race for 2013 is on the calendar, and it's the perfect race for me.  I've been invited to be a race ambassador for the Dilettante Women's Triathlon!  File this under a totally cool blogger moment.

This is my first race ambassadorship!

A lot of my local blogger peeps will be ambassadors as well so it should be a blast!  There's Jill, Kerrie, Becky, and Erika that I know of. Here are the race details:

Saturday, June 15th 2013!

Sweet calendar, eh?

Five Mile Lake Park in Federal Way (just south of Seattle).

Females only.  Apparently guys don't want to race for chocolate.  Also this will not be permitted:

All athletes must be 12 years of age by 12/31/13.  If they are too young to swim, bike and run, they can write nifty signs and cheer from the sidelines :D

What do you get?
Bragging rights!

Also:
Race day results!  Post-race food!

Yum!

Plus:  Chip timing!  Dilettante chocolate!  And a finisher's medal!

Oh yeah.

• They will have a Sprint Distance and an Olympic Distance (new this year! And pending approval).
•  Individual registration includes an Age Group, Athena, or Friends and Family category.  
• They also have 2-person and 3-person relays so you can ease your way into the sport if you're not ready to take on the whole enchilada!
• Bonus:  15% of the race entry goes toward supporting King County parks.

Want to come race with me?  Or beat me?  I will be doing the Sprint Distance in the Friends and Family category so we can start the race together!

You can get $10 off the race entry by using the code TRI-INGDWT13!
