What We've Learned ... or ... The Blooper Reel!

the slowest rider in the group probably shouldn't be the one holding the keys to the car holding all the water!

urping on your car window/door (rather than over your passengers and car's carpet) will result in stuff dripping inside the door frame and short out the window motor!

sports bra with zipper on the front will really hurt when laying face down on the exercise balls!

'naked' fruit drink that tastes really good going down will come up in your throat while biking really fast/hard on a really hot day!

a women's only event brings out the best in all of us, toward all of us, for all of us

if you change in your office before headed to TRY training, the only time you lock yourself out of the office - requiring Maintenance and/or Security staff to let you in so you can get your stuff and leave - will be when you decided to go to the bathroom AFTER applying spandex and only when you mystically have a Medium size t-shirt (to cover up the spandex) instead of a Large!

probably best to use all your fingers to wave back to the bike riders who are so cheerfully breezing back in just when you are first headed out on the bike ride!

somehow a discussion on body piercing and tattoos led to a series of deep thoughts about how we could 'clip in' to our bike seats like some of us 'clip in' to our pedals - and whether that would cause us to pedal faster or not ...

this exercise thing gets to be a habit - and it's highly contagious!

take your allergy or asthma medicine before starting training as you can count on someone being out in their yard mowing

when we are asked to swim half the length of the pool, somersault, and continue the rest of the length it's good to have a spotter to make sure we don't get disoriented and swim the wrong way after the somersault!

laugh quietly during core training when the instructor says 'downward facing dog' as she controls our destiny until the end of the session - although overall the TRY training instructors are a special kind of saint

most of us are only truly 'racing' against our own selves / our minds

at the start of the event the timing buzzer was really annoying but nothing was sweeter than the last buzz as we crossed the finish line!
