The Wrong Sport

We are less then 2 weeks away from race day and we are starting to get nervous. What if we panic? What if we can't finish? What if we are last? What if it is a lot harder then we could ever imagine? What if we get flat tires?

There is not much we can do about it at this point, but still the questions remain.

I have been doing some reading though and can you believe that the annual mean income for triathletes (according to a survey in 2006) is $161,000?! I think we are in the wrong sport - it is just too tempting to buy all the "proper" gear. If you are just focusing on 1 thing there is only so much to buy - with 3 legs of the journey, the possibilities are endless!

All I can say is, this better not be our last event!

It is similar with the 3-Day. Suddenly instead of 1 pair of walking shorts, I need 3. Not 1 pair of shoes but 2. Not 3 pairs of socks but 6. It adds up fast!

At least t-ball apparel is pretty minimal, all you need to do is remember to wash the shirt. (I wasn't so great at that part.)
