Jumpin and a Skippin, Giveaways, Reviews...etc!

Okay so I'm literally jumping and skipping around the house tonight.  Tomorrow morning I have my "fake but not so fake" first Tri!!  It is the last class in the 9 week program and I am super pumped!  Not sure how I am going to fall asleep?!  I'm hoping to place at least 2nd or 3rd...lol...there are only 10 in the class but heck I think I have a chance even though the guys have arms that are longer than half my body (talking swim here-I feel like their one stroke is my 3!)...I think I can pull through with the run...I checked out there times on the down-low lol. 

Honestly, I am just so excited that I'm able to participate!! Its such an awesome feeling to be back in the game.  Still haven't figured out the bathing suit/bra thing...meaning do I not wear one or do I wear one and be sopping wet?  Any Tri folks out there with good advice let me know...I do know that I tried the tri shirts and they didn't really give my girls the support I need. ;)

Random pieces of info (because my mind is jumpin and skippin too!)
Here are some of the races I will be doing in the summer series...

Race 1 6/13June 13. Heckscher - 5 Miles. Very flat.

Race 2 6/20June 20. Sunken Meadow - 10k. Very hilly. Cross country course. Some of the route on the boardwalk.  (This run is killer and I may have to avoid it due to the fact that I don't want to aggravate the ol' pubic bone with crazy hills. )

Race 3 6/27June 27. Caumsett - 5k. Please get there early. Carpooling recommended.
Race 4 7/11July 11. Hempstead Lake - 4k (2.49 miles). Flat, many turns. Get there early!!

    There is an event in my town called "Mighty Kids Triathlon." I wonder if they would let me join? Hahahah that is all I could do in that department right now! (I cannot swim!!) I may try to do a duathlon in September.

    OMG I did not realize you were from LI!!! I think I am going to do some of those races! I've been considering it because I want to do them, but a lot of times after working for 8 hrs at the beach I don't feel like racing at 7 lol. I'm pretty sure I am going to sign up and then do whatever I can. We totally need to meet up :D
