It's official

Good thing I waited to buy any more gear,because its official-I received my triathlon membership in the mail, and there are several shops around the city that offer up discounts! However being a cheapskate I will still do some comparison shopping on line...or ahem...rather I might have to get someone to do this for me!

One thing I m finding, is that many of the cycling jersey's look quite zany. Now that kinda fits with my personality but seriously I don't want anything flashy. Perhaps I should consider a design that would make people stay away from me on the bike as I feel too panicky when anyone gets close. There must be a psychological study somewhere that can tell me what color people like to avoid!

Another wonderful thing that has happened in this journey, is the outpouring of support I get when I tell people I am doing this. I can not tell you how many people have extended their advice, or words of encouragement. Some are friends, some are family and many are people whom I have just met. It encourages me to know that humans are willing to extend their hand. If we could also do this for the sake of the common good, just think what could be possible! Now how great is that!

  1. You go ahead and buy the cheapest, plainest jersey you can find... once I get my hands on it and bedazzle it with jewels, people will be blinded by your brilliance for miles - and keep their distance!
