Athleta Iron Girl Vegas

I am off to Vegas in just a few days for Athleta Iron Girl Vegas. My dear friend GinaMarie will be joining me for a long weekend and she will doing the sprint triathlon with me.

I am a little nervous about the swim in Lake Las Vegas. I had every intention of trying to get a lake swim in before this tri but it just didn't happen. My last lake swim was Pumpkinman . That was also the last time I wore my wetsuit, crap I better dust it off and see if it fits! Actually I will probably wear the new one my brother got me for Christmas. It's an Xterra sleeveless so it should be much more comfortable that the other one I used last year. I think he got it for me because he saw me frantically cutting the arms of the other one the night before Pumpkinman.

As I was last time, I am anxious about seeing fish during the swim. Hopefully I won't be the first group of swimmers and by the time I get in the fish will all have swam away. Wishful thinking, I know.

It will be weird to not have my family there to cheer me on at the finish-line but I needed a "Mommy Break" and requested that this just be a girls only trip. My wonderful husband has graciously obliged and Grandma will be flying out to help to care for the boys.

I love that every finisher gets this sweet looking piece of bling! Viva Las Vegas!
