- I used to be able to touch my toes... prior to extremely tight hamstrings
- I used to have clothes that fit my waist and quads proporitionately
- I didn't need 9 + hours of sleep a night
- I had a social life (well... maybe I never had that)
- I didn't have permanent bags under my eyes
- I didn't carry around an hourly alarm clock... my stomach
- I had a wardrobe outside of Cool-Max, Dry-Weave, Wick-Away and Luon
I also remember when:
- We used to bike on West Saanich Road
- We picked up our brand new matching bikes from Fort Street Cycle
- We cheered each other on as we both completed our first Ironman's
- We BBQ-ed Pizza's on hot summer nights
- We played Monopoly in the grass
- We let AR cook us gourmet dinner's while we soaked our feet in Epson salt
- We met at Thetis Lake at dawn and had the entire lake reserved just for us
I am well aware that wetsuits are the most unflattering attire in the history of mankind. I cannot believe I am putting these pictures on the World Wide Web! To top it off, I have a neon orange swim cap on. Yes, I can see that I look like a little boy with oddly oversized legs. I wore that swim cap at the pool the other day, clearly, I have no shame. However, these are some great memories, worth sharing with the whole world.
i think your wetsuit is hot. i remember all the cooking lessons with AR and UB: risotto, salmon, tomato sauce...you eat well because of me, because of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's true... I do eat well... too well (it may pose as a problem post-ironman training)
ReplyDeleteyou really know how to make me cry - now I have to go to an appointment with red swollen eyes - all in a day of an iron shirpa - ar
ReplyDeleteJac - I agree with Alison... your wetsuit is HOT. I thought of you over the weekend as I watched the prep and some of the racers at the Elk Lake 1/2 :-) Eat lots of calories for me!!
