Sis took some offense to her portrayal on this blog. "You made me out to be a liar and an abusive coach," she writes me this morning.
As a journalist, I hear this kind of thing all the time. "Oh, you misquoted me," and "That's not me at all," and "You have the story ENTIRELY WRONG." Ok, well, I dont hear this thing all the time - id be worried if i did - but you get the drift.
I told her, "Sis, the thing is, the stories I recount are true. Maybe you should rethink your sistering skills."
Ah, ***little sis. Good thing I'm around to help guide her along.
Training began last Saturday for the July 16 tri. Martina, Kim and I are doing it.
Martina and I had planned a swim and 5-mile run last Saturday. She decided no swim and perhaps a 3 miler would be nicer. Then we promptly had a beer and went bowling.
I met Martina online. She moved from Ireland two years ago. She's a lovely girl, cute, and has beer flowing through the veins as only a true Irish lassie can.
We've decided our new pickup line is "We're training for a tri." Cause last week at the parkway she and I stopped to watch a couple of guys rock climbing. We talked, then mentioned we were trainng for a tri.
Well, now were they impressed! So ya, so my new pickup line. I have yet to use it because even though I went out dancing last night it was to a gay bar. Maybe this weekend.
Hit the pool for the first time in months a couple of days ago. It felt amazing. What was I waiting for???? I'm all excited to be back in the tri training mode. I think I blame Jeff, star runner boy who has decided he wants to do an Ironman as his first tri or something like that. He's always so goshdarn inspirational.
*** here's a shout out to little sissie who told me earlier she loves my blog but really she just loves it when she's the featured subject

That is a great pick up line!! Keep us posted on how it works!!
I'm on LJ's side... just for the record.
Earth to La La Land. Come in Partyrunner..
thats a great pick-up line! I love to swim too, need to get back into it for some cross training
I must say I love the honesty of your sister. Unabashed vanity is a virtue. Heck yes.
And good god your training sounds like my training. I could run, or....drink five beers, eat a gallon of popcorn...
HAH!
yeah, i'm doing kona for my first tri.
seriously, though, that's a great line. i used it to get a guy to leave me alone in the gym yesterday. i was going through my lifting routine (very well planned, but to the meathead, it wouldn't make sense) and the guy started lecturing me on how to properly build muscle. i told him that i was training for a tri and that my coach had given me the lifting routine. worked like a charm!
