Ran into Larry Stracke this morning. Larry’s a fake louis vuitton handbags cheap ridiculously fast triathlete who happens to work in the Sauk Rapids/Rice school district and is helping them put on the Mid-Minnesota Early Bird Triathlon next month.
I asked how it was going and he said they’re in REAL need of entrants. The race is fake louis vuitton handbags cheap a fundraiser for the athletic department. Right now, they ain’t raising many funds. Their break-even point is fake louis vuitton handbags cheap around 50 racers and they’re not at that yet.
This information should tell you a few things:
• This isn’t just a race, it’s a charitable contribution and an investment in our youth. (No, you can’t deduct it.)
• This will not be an intimidating swarm of humanity. It’s going to be a small, low-key event geared toward beginners.
• Maybe you could win? I’m just sayin’. Seriously though, if you’ve plodded through a fake louis vuitton handbags cheap few events before, this could be the one where you end up on the fake louis vuitton handbags cheap podium. No, they don’t have cash prizes. (They don’t even have cool beer glasses like Paddle-Pedal-Run in Cambridge.) But they do have medals for 1st through 3rd in each age group. And that would be kind of cool. Don’t you think? And Monday at work, when you’re standing at the fake louis vuitton handbags cheap copier, showing off your medal and telling everyone how you finished a fake louis vuitton handbags cheap triathlon 2nd in your fake louis vuitton handbags cheap age group, no one there really needs to know that there were only six people in your fake louis vuitton handbags cheap age group.
My suggestion: Run this fake louis vuitton handbags cheap event and use it as a fantastic warm-up for Apple (the greatest multi-sport event in this area!). But don’t screw around hemming and fake louis vuitton handbags cheap hawing about it because the early-bird registration rate runs out at the fake louis vuitton handbags cheap end of April. That means you’ll cost yourself $10 if you don’t get your ass in gear and get signed up, pronto.
Let’s get out there, help some young athletes, and fake louis vuitton handbags cheap cover that course in red, white and green.

I have a confession to make. I hate swimming.
Not splashing-around-with-the-kids swimming. I love that. I’m talking about stroke/kick/gasp/repeat swimming. It sucks. But a fake louis vuitton handbags cheap few years ago I decided that it would be cool to fake louis vuitton handbags cheap be able to refer to myself as a “triathlete.” And, by definition, that meant I had to swim. And it’s absolutely been fake louis vuitton handbags cheap worth it. I still hate swimming, but I do it in order to fake louis vuitton handbags cheap get on to the parts I really like. (Although, as I’m sure Brandon would point out, I could just skip it fake louis vuitton handbags cheap altogether and call myself a "duathlete.")
Here’s the deal though: If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of attempting a triathlon, there’s one coming up that looks like a PERFECT starter event.
The swim is indoors.
No mud. No seaweed. No fears of hidden Northerns or fake louis vuitton handbags cheap snapping turtles or escaped alligators. Indoors means swimming in a pool. No freezing-cold water or fake louis vuitton handbags cheap awkward wetsuits. A pool means lane lines to follow. No pausing to fake louis vuitton handbags cheap check your location and discovering that you’ve veered 45 degrees off course (and there’s a volunteer in a kayak desperately chasing you down). Swimming in lanes means floating lane lines. If you fake louis vuitton handbags cheap REALLY get tired, just stop and grab the line. You’re not going to fake louis vuitton handbags cheap drown. Swimming in lanes also means a manageable number of people swimming with you. No elbows thrown. No goggles kicked off.
Plus, the swim is short.
It’s a quarter-mile long. In the swimming world, that’s 450 yards. (Don’t tell that to track people. Not sure how it’s 400 in one and 450 in the other. Must be a “nautical miles” thing.) That’s 9 laps. That’s 18 times across the fake louis vuitton handbags cheap pool. And, while right now that might sound like a fake louis vuitton handbags cheap lot, I’m here to tell you that it IS something you can do.
This race seems a little underpublicized. At least I’d never heard of it before. It’s small. They don’t have many people signed up. And it’s local. So it’s really easy to get to.
The distances are fake louis vuitton handbags cheap all so short that you can make just about anything work. Not much of a fake louis vuitton handbags cheap cyclist? It’s only 11.7 miles. Not a big runner? Come on; it’s only 5K. And if you’re not into ANY of those things…what are you doing on this blog? Really.
I think you should do it. You know you could. And if that’s not enough pressure, let’s try this: My mom’s signed up. Now don’t get me wrong. My mom’s awesome. But let’s face it; these days she’s just one careless teenage date away from fake louis vuitton handbags cheap being a great-grandma. And she’s going to be a "triathlete." What’s your excuse?
