There
will be some days when you just won't feel like getting out of bed. Go
with that feeling. Just roll over and tell those Nikes to pipe down! |
Large
amounts of time spent on a bike seat can leave your gray matter the
consistency of a runny jello mold. Try to find diversions while you ride. |
If
you decide to do a relay, always try to do your best of the three events. |
Don't
be embarrassed if you hate to swim. Nowadays, being a duathlete is okay.
Just remember that the next time you bring lunch to work... it's only
polite to bring quiche for everyone. |
Scout
out the race site and become familiar with all its idiosyncrasies before
race day. And if the race has anything to do with prunes... stay home. |
Before
leaving the house on the morning of your first race, carefully go over
your checklist. It's a very unhappy triathlete who leaves his goggles at
home, swims in the salt water and ends up with eyes the color of Larry
Lobster. |
