ten dolphins in my brain

oh dear sweet magical powerful force that watches over all - i thank you that it's over

1km row - 4 min 10 sec
5km bike - 7 min 49 sec
2km run - 12 min 53 sec

while i'm here accepting the annual montgomery burns award for outstanding achievement in the field of excellence, there's a few people i'd like to thank:

my brother, for laughing and saying "sucks to be you" when i was trying to get my game face on before leaving

the very cute 20 year old who works at the gym for being assigned to record my times and see the prettiness up close. kudos to him for not flinching

the thoughtful man with terrible smell who chose to use the rower in front of my treadmill, in front of a fan. it was awesome how the odours were propelled onto me for the duration of the 2km, increasing my enjoyment level of the experience 9000 fold

myself, for not crying and throwing up until i got back to the changing room

my loving and supportive boyfriend, for picking me up out of the gutter where i tried to lay down and die on the way back to the car. it was also great when you held my hair back when i spewed, and when you shouted encouraging slogans at me during the event. you'll probably be in line for some sort of award yourself for such behaviour above and beyond

i can barely contain the excitement and anticipation i feel about the second and third upcoming events in the series. at the culmination of the last one, i'll get a free t shirt, though

here's my two cents: it had better be lined with $100 notes and/or give the wearer magical powers
