I'm doing an Ironman in less than 3 months. This morning I finally had to admit to that and do something about it! I went to my first Rice Masters swim practice bright and early at 6am. I had tried it out twice during the summer and enjoyed it, but couldn't find the motivation to swim that much, so I did not join then.
My mom gave me an IOU for the registration fee for one semester for Christmas. I had been putting it off until now, using the marathon as my excuse, but I no longer had any more excuses!
The good news is that as I drove up this morning, I saw Natalie (super fun tri girl) getting out of her car. I didn't know she was doing Rice Masters - how cool, I have a friend at masters! Then, I walk into the locker room and see Casey, who graduated high school with me. I didn't know she was doing Rice Masters - how cool again! Then I also see Kelly (another super fun tri girl) in the locker room. I didn't know she was doing it either!! That is three friends now! Casey also tells me Molly, also from high school, plans to swim with the group as well. That means there is going to be one hell of a party in the Rice Women's locker room every Tuesday and Thursday morning. What a relief!
I guess maybe I should actually mention the swim part...I swam 2550 total and didn't die in the process. I hadn't swam since November and wasn't sure what my post-marathon legs would think about the swim either. Everything went fine, I didn't die, so I guess I have to go back next Tuesday now!
