The Dreaded Triathlon
A Triathlon is an athletic event made up of three contests. In contemporary usage, the name triathlon is mostly applied to a combination of swimming, cycling and running, in that order. As I sit and stare at my calendar with the word TRIATHLON written on this Sunday, I keep wondering why and how the hell I ever signed up for this. Then I found these old emails and realized it was just some good old fashioned peer pressure…thanks friends!
Jenna sends group email: Frank and I thought it would be fun to see if we could do a sprint triathlon this summer.
Sara: I would do it if I didn’t have to run.
Flateman: HELL NO. I'd go for a bike ride, can't it be a relay?
Jenna: There is one which is a relay but it has CANOING/KAYAKING in it...and it's in bumbleuck ny....
Sara: Dudes we used to Kayak in highschool to get rock hard abs......it hurts like a mother f'er
Wharton: Isn't that just all we need--to wake up at 4AM to get some goddamn triathlon-- only to have Jayne slip out of the kayak so that we spend the rest of the day wondering if we could've been the Utica triathlon champs 2006. if only Jayne hadn't gotten herself caught in some so-called undertow.
Frank: now now now, the point of this isn't to lose Jayne in the river.....i mean, we could dump her in the Hudson anytime we want. Its to work out and do something different and have fun. And yes, the whole point is to do different things, yes, and all three legs. i guess it'll be me, bussman and kempster.....probably with me bringing up the rear!!!! All you other suckers can be lazy!
Sara: lazy is my middle name...as you all know!
Flatemen: Lazy....I thought it was Leslie.....oh wait that Jayne's my bad
Frank: There's our names, officially registered for JULY 9!!!!!!
Kempster Tri-Individual
Paddock Tri-Individual
For the tri,
Frank
Me: How about dem apples: Wise Tri-Individual
oh yea, I’m in!! hopefully they have CPR trained staff on site, because I might die, and if anyone has to do mouth to mouth it could get awkward!!
So that's how it happened. T-Minus 3 Days….if I don’t make it tell Cuddles I love him…
