So, we got our wetsuits at practice last night and I just HAD to try it on that night, even before I ate dinner (so you know it was important). Since my first fitting, I have actually figured out a better way to put it on by watching some instructional videos on YouTube. (Yay YouTube!) [...]

Added bonus
Okay, so I started training for this triathlon to help raise money for a wonderful cause, and well…I get an added bonus, and that is…I am losing weight. On July 30th this picture was taken: mmmm, yuck. I went on a training ride with the Disney Tri team and Wedgie (www.neoprenewedgie.com) took this picture of [...]
