The Island of Staten

Well, its been a little while. Oh say, about a month and a half? During that time I might have taken a little vacation to where the East meets the West, ran down and around Wall Street, participated in some Japanese exercise, and slept in when I saw rain upon waking bright and early for a 5 mile Father's Day race.

Now that I write this, I am four days away from my first triathlon. And I have to admit - I am pretty excited. Not excited for the whole getting to the triathlon part. That will involve biking to the Staten Island ferry, taking the ferry across, hoping on the train, and then biking from the train stop to the event location. More nerve wracking than the race itself if you ask me.

Four days away and I just finished putting together my triathlon ensemble yesterday, picking up some Zoot tri shorts I bought on sale at the Running Company for 25% off (score!). I also picked up a tri tank not too long ago that my tri team was selling for $20 because it was last year's uniform. Last year, this year. I don't think tri tanks go in and out with the seasons.

I have my powergels. And Thursday is race packet pick-up day. All that is left after that is to make sure I have everything and then take it all with me on my long trek to the island of staten.

Stay tuned....
