it's kind of hard to wrap your head around the first race of the season. tomorrow's my first '09 triathlon- superseal olympic distance- and i haven't been in the open water yet this season. whoops. so since i couldn't wrap my head around that, i wrapped my head around a couple 22oz. beers at happy hour...kirsten was my carbo loading coach:
i really only had 1 1/2 of those big beers, so nothing crazy... anyhow, it's on tomorrow. i'm excited and also to see james race the 1/2 ironman relay as the runner. should be a fun one to watch too, several pros, like andy potts, and bjorn anderson are racing as a little prep for the california 70.3 race next weekend. neat!
(WARNING: , sometimes this athletic type blog may take a turn to wedding type blog every so often over the next few months...not too often, i promise..)
this week we sent out our save-the-dates for the wedding.....we went with postcards, nothing crazy, just fun. my sister jen is pretty much my hero and drew this postcard for us (she's in art/design school at RISD). at first glance, it has nothing to do with triathlon and makes you think i surf (which i haven't since i broke my leg/arm over a year ago. such a poser). but, if you look closely, you'll see james' pink headband. and its also quite clear that jendrew me in my lululemon running shorts- and i must be training A LOT becuase i lost 5 lbs in that drawing (nice work, jen!- too bad she didn't embellish in the boob area) ...
here's the front of the postcard.
this is the back. we got little tropical fruit postcard stamps and i wrote all the addresses in neon green skinny sharpies.

awwww, that's so cute. i like the simplicity of it (and the fact that you're not having a five year engagement...)
good luck tomorrow! that carbo loading will pay off big ;)
My kinda carbo loading and I love it that you're already having fun before the race even starts! That's how to roll! Go big!
I did IMC last year never having had put on my wetsuit, much less swimming open water. Now that's the way to learn to swim ow! hah! I think you'll be fine ;)
HAVE A FANTASTIC RACE!
RISDY, thats awesome! you guys are putting us to shame, im not being much of a help to Sarah with our "Save the date" magnets. Good job on the beer, hope those were union jacks.
Those are the cutest save the dates ever! And you really look that skinny..no 5lbs drop needed. Best part of racing is the carb loading and the walk of shame afterwards..haha
That postcard is a great design!
Yeah beer! That is the best Carbo loading there is :)
LOVE the post cards! What a great idea. Your sister did an awesome job! I don't know about you - but I'm getting sick of the 'save the date 'magnets'. My fridge is covered!
Aw, LOVE the announcement cards!
Good luck today! Have FUN!
Beautiful card..very creative, now everyone is going to crash your wedding..:-)
Super cute save the dates. THose good carbs will help you rock Super Seal today.
I like the Carbo loading technique. I've been doing a bit too much of that lately.
Absolutely love the save the dates.
Great card! Looks awesome.
Good job on the carbo loading. Have fun tomorrow.
That is the cutest and neatest save the date card I have ever seen, I am quite jealous, ours were plain AC More. Best of Luck at your race.
That card is great! Watch out that you don't get some undesirables showing up at your wedding:)
Great carbo loading! Hope you had a great race.
Those are adorable. Your sister is quite talented.
Good luck!
Good to hear you're getting at the racing with proper carb loading.
those cards are really cool.

I'm crashing your wedding.
I am late to the party..so I hope you did well.. I love the wedding announcement stuff...it will be awesome...
Love the pre-race beers. :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your postcard! That is SO cute! While I haven't given my own wedding much thought, I've always thought I would do something way more casual like that than fancy. Your sister did a GREAT job!
