Traithlon Training ...

Triathlon Training in the North Seattle Metro Area

Yesterday I went to the triathlon training with other's
that are part of Experience Momentum.
Holy cow! We swam a quarter mile straight through- no stops.
Last time I swam a quarter mile I had two resting points...
Did I mention I swam/ kicked 1/2 mile the day before?!
It's pretty safe to say my body is extremely exhausted.
Picture Below:
Rachel and I before we know what we are doing.
I'm the only nut who didn't wear a wet suit.
Was I crazy? Quite possibly... The water was F.R.E.E.Z.I.N.G...

Remember how Rachel is a power house?

After the quarter mile swim.

I'm not quite ready to have full body shots in a bathing suit yet...

So no in the water shots- sorry guys! haha!

After I pulled off the swim cap it tore out and broke off all my little hairs! *pain!


I tried 7 stores yesterday to find a one piece bathing suit.

Can you believe that in 7 stores the only plus size bathing suits I found were

TWO PIECES?

What fat girl is going to wear a two piece? Or should I say what MOM is going to?

I'd like to keep the saggy belly in- thanks. :S

The only one I found in my entire city was at R.E.I. and has NO support.

It's a racing/ triathlon suit so I'm not complaining tooo much- however it wasn't CHEAP!

$86.00 including tax.

My husband was NOT pleased... hopefully it'll fit better next summer?!?

Because it's a racing suit and I'm quite endowed there were some "issues"

while I was swimming.

It was quite embarrasing. I think I need to find a new sports bra-

or I'll HAVE to wear a wet suit.

Picture Below:

Remember- No support in bathing suit= chubby looking mama!

Before the bike ride home.

And I'm off!...


And as of 10:30 this morning...
this is what I still look like!


I'm just a little worn out!

Wow, If your bathing suit gets to small for you, I'll buy it from you, it is so cute. Go pretty Momma with your pretty smile.
Love your old toothless Momma,with her toothless smile.
