Before IMF a couple years ago I went to a Multisports.com camp and during one of the lectures Paula Newby-Frazier said everyone should know the reasons they are doing an IM, so when it gets tough, you can think about why you are there. I 'freaked out'. I had NO valid reasons to do an IM. It wasn't something I needed to prove to myself, or someone else. It wasn't the hardest thing I'd accomplish. I just wanted to do it. Anyway...a couple weeks before the race, I decided I needed to find some reasons...so I came up with a top 10 list. Here's the new revised version.
1. Perpetuem...the liquid diet w/o the hangover
2. LGN (Look Good Naked)
3. Didn't have a boyfriend at the time
4. Cheaper than therapy? (see #3)
5. Apparently I never put it in writing that I'd never do another IM
6. Easy to date two guys this way (always have a built in excuse to not be available). Now I just need the 2 guys.
7. My addiction to pizza (enough said)
8. I want to be able to understand what my future husband (Lance Armstrong) is going through when he trains for his first IM
9. As a child of the 80s, spandex rocks!
10. Since I work in the construction industry and my only fashion choices are what color hard hat to wear to the job site...., I figured pondering if compression socks would go okay with De Soto micro tri shorts would fill the void....and then debating if I could pull it off!
