WAW!

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Saturday I went (with an accomplice) to The Screamin' Peach in Fort Collins. Can you imagine what they do at The Screamin' Peach?!?!? They make your peach scream ...

It's a waxing studio.

I was so nervous going there, assuming it would be painful (to say the least!) ... but it's something I have never done before and I was willing to try ...

and now?!? I am hairless. Ha. Everything gone ... and yes, I mean everything.

It was strangely liberating and although incredibly painful at a few points (I had a few choice words while being waxed ...) I will be back, in 4 weeks ... The Screamin' Peach, isn't that the best name? Funky, classy, hip joint, with wonderfully comforting women working there ... I am a fan. Definitely will be back ... I wonder if my accomplice will?!?

Yes, What A Weekend!

Today I went into Boulder, to CU, for the Kick-Off event for the Triathlon Training Team I have joined. Team CWW, Colorado Wild Women! It is a phenomenal group of women, as young as 20 and even a woman in her 70's! All shapes and sizes. I am so encouraged. Tuesday is a swim assesment at CU, underwater video taping, stroke analyzing, the whole nine yards ... should be awesome.

Oh, and a side note ... I did get a swim suit. I ordered online from LandsEnd, a basic suit, no bra, no dumb straps, and enough material to cover my boobs, shocking huh?!? It was also about $40 cheaper than a Speedo. I am thrilled with it.

The training team is amazing ... there were women than have never swam in open water and women that are training for an IronMan. I like to think I am somewhere in the middle, ha. The coaches were inspiring and full of praise, just for being there. Everyone was kind and friendly ... I just can't say enough about it. I know this is just what I need to step up my training, to meet my weight loss goal and become the athlete I've always known I can be.

I am so thankful.
What A Weekend!
