The Bug....

Since this is my first real entry since the introduction, I want to also add that my grammar, spelling and punctuation isn't going to always be correct but this is not meant to be graded and I will try my best. Also I am typing on an iPad so no telling what the predictive text will come up with... So with that let's get started!

I volunteered for the IronMan qualifier in The Woodlands. I was a part of the medical team that worked on the finish line transporting finishers to the Medical Tent, if needed... let's face it, most of them probably needed it! I worked the late shift (final 5 hours) which means these IronMen and Women were either struggling to finish and/or ecstatic just to be finishing. The first few people crossing the finish that I saw were so excited to accomplish such an amazing feat I immediately caught the bug! Later to be smashed like a cockroach on a boot heel.
I made my first run to the tent and saw a scene I could only begin to describe as a triathlon MASH unit, but that doesn't do it justice! There were triathlons and IV's everywhere! I made plenty of runs to the tent, some of which was typical dehydration and cramping... And one particular run I had a woman who pooped herself in the wheel chair I was pushing her in (yup you read that right). So, I then thought I was crazy for even thinking about attempting this.... However, I'm young, stubborn and I want the new challenge of a sprint triathlon. (1/4 mile swim, 12 mile bike, 3 mile run)... Let the training begin!
