What have I gotten myself into????
Last May, I learned of the sprint triathlon. I was intrigued. I have thought about it all year wanting to do one. Everytime I hear of one in my area it is in a month or so.(not enough time to train) It has been my goal for a year. Well two weeks ago Lori told me there is one in stansbury park in August. I chatted her up about it and told her good luck. She called me on Saturday and said her sister in law broke her foot and they had a free spot in the triathalon. Well I agreed, It must have been all the mercury floating somewhere in my GI tract. So Today I sit only 17 days away. Scared to death. But I am going to do it. If I don't force myself, I will never do it. It will be a sort of baseline. I will try it again on October 18 and hope for a much better time. check my sis in law with great hair blog if you are interested in joining us. It is in st george. There is a sprint a beginner and a kids tri.
A sprint tri is
400 meter swim 8 laps in a standard pool.
12 mile bike
5k run.
monday I biked 6 miles and ran 2 miles
tuesday I biked 15 miles and swam a very short distance in the actual lake. green with tons of weeds
wed I ran for fifty minutes.
If any has any advice on training in such a short time. I need all the help I can get.
The lost Tooth
Warning: If you have a weak stomach or are easily grossed out STOP READING!!!
I was wandering around walmart getting my groceries for our yearly trip to smith family fishing ranch. When I saw heaven in a bag!! 5 lbs of delicious cinnamon bears. My gut told me not to get them. They wreak havoc on dental work, which I am in no short supply of. So Monday I am eating a little piece of cinnamon heaven and out comes my crown. (very last tooth on the right) Luckily not my front teeth. That would have scared the women and children. We are out in the middle of no where no dentist for miles and still 5 days left of vacation. I washed off the tooth and rammed it back on. It came out 2 or 3 times while at the ranch.. I washed it off and back in the mouth. Well we got home late Friday night. All dentist offices closed for the weekend. Saturday night we were on our way out the door to a Delicious meal and I took a small bite of brinley's mac and cheese. (i think mentally I am still 5. Cinnamon bears and mac and cheese still have power over me.) I swallowed my tooth. Yep seven hundred dollars down the toilet. literally. Well there are a lot of things I would love to spend 7oo dollars on. None of which are a new shining crown in the very back of my mouth. So matt and I devised a plan. My plan: strain the poop for a few days. Matts plan poop in a ziploc seal it and feel around for a big porcelin lump. Brilliant. Well to spare you all the yummy details. Matts plan worked. On the second bag of course. I wasted 30 monutes kneading poop in a ziploc before I could logically understand why it wasn't in there. All the food I ate at the yummy restaurant after I swallowed the tooth (beans and corn) were very clearly in there. So second bag, I found the tooth in just a few minutes. And yes the tooth is now safe and sound cemented back in my MOUTH!!!
