T- 3 weeks and counting

So, here I am attempting to be in great shape. My training has definitely been more consistent than Eric's, not that it's that hard to be further along than Eric, but we've all got to be able to beat someone...right? Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's going to keep me in the motivational mind set I need to be with just a few weeks away from my big day.
I went for a swim today during mid-morning/summer camp hours at our local YMCA and it was mass chaos! The lap swim lanes were sandwiched by the slide and some sort of water relay/football thing, and the "little tykes" swim lessons on the other. I had to share a lane with little miss Won Ton who knew nothing other than the slow motion butterfly. Who knew a tiny little thing could have the wing span of a manta ray. As I tried to dodge the flailing limbs and getting annoyed by all the ruckus it occurs to me that a triathlon swim will actually much worse than my little Won Ton beside me!!! What am I to do!?! This is not good, this is not right! maybe I'm not cut out for this thing...Then my training buddy told me next time we go she will do me the favor of going in front of me and kicking like crazy so I can't see where I'm going. Then, she'll swim right beside me and bump into me and pull my arms to help her get ahead. REALLY!?! Is this what "friends" do for each other all in the name of "triathlons"? This is no good...this is no good! What am I doing? What are you all doing?
Your soon to be ex-triathlete sister,
kristy
