She swims, she bikes, she runs, she GAMBLES, she SUNBATHES!

I have been worried about doing a tri the morning after my friend's wedding. It troubles me that I have to leave the festitivies by 11 p.m. at the latest to get at least five hours of sleep, my goal.

But sissie reminded me I did a marathon while staying in Vegas. It wasn't an ordinary Vegas night either (they never are). It was a fight night and if you want to see fine dressed brothers this is your spot. Nonetheless, I was in my hotel room just minutes after 11 p.m. Of course I couldn't sleep for a good couple of hours since i was worried about my mother and grandmother who decided to party the night away but through that I learned to set curfews and get my own room the night before a race.

So really, a baby tri should be no problem coming off a weddding. Sissie's comment has boosted my confidence.

So has an unexpected treat -- straight from the race i am going to ATLANTIC CITY!!!!! It's not Vegas but this time of the year, maybe it's better because it's on the BEACH. I'm packing a thermos of bloody marys for after the race then a pal and I are headed off to gamble and sunbathe. I CAN'T WAIT.

You want to motivate this girl to get through swimming, biking and running? Offer her a PRACTICALLY FREE trip to ATLANTIC CITY!

PR HERE I COME!

Well, at least you can turn up your nose at all the folks NOT doing a tri.

A mean...hell, maybe you'll drink too much straight away, pass out, and get like 8-9 hours of sleep. Think positive.

I dig the Bloody Mary thing. Reminds me of after Vegas with Scott. We grabbed an empty two-liter pop bottle, filled it with...I dunno...four beers? And topped it of with whiskey. Then, we hit the hot tub. Drink, pee in the tub, relax. Nothing better.

I hope it's open again by then, wasn't there some strike there that shut things down?

You might want to look into that before you go.

No need to thank me, that's what I'm here for.
