Fabulous race day...It had been a while since I had raced, the nerves set in especialy as I watched the ocean waves that I was going to have to get out past to start my swim. I did have my ritual little panic attack for the first 300 meters and then after many prayers to calm myself, my stroke kicked in and I finished! I am always so glad to get out of the water. We could not have asked for a better day, beauitiful weather, amazing course along the beach and the best travel friends ever. I found a friend that likes to eat as much as me...Love that!
Greg got on the podium...3rd place for THUNDERTHIGHS! Why is it acceptable to call guys thunderthighs and they are proud of it? (It means he is 185lbs or more) Not sure many women would want that medal around their neck!
I did not think that I was celebrity crazed...but it sure was fun to watch them race at the Malibu Celebrity Triathlon! My favorite celeb of the day was Chris Lieto - not really a celeb in the LA world, but he is who we wanted to see. Chris Lieto is the 2nd place IRONMAN world champion. Loved watching his transitions, form and ease of the sport! We chatted with him and took a picture with him at the finish!
Who else was there??? Well, I wish I would have had my PEOPLE magazine there with me to see who they were. I felt old because most of the celeb participants were form these new TV show that I have not seen. We did see Ryan Sutter and Andy Baldwin from the Bachelorette. I chatted with Trista like she was my best friend! We talked kids, triathlons, vacations, etc... Terry Hatcher was the biggest name there and so nice to the crowd! Genuine and happy to say hello to everyone. And many more I did not recognize!
