Oops!
I sort of managed to get myself into a situation with one of Kamil's friends the other day and I've been struggling to get myself out of it. I wanted to do a triathlon in montauk in October but decided I wanted to do the relay. I ha a swimmer and I would bike but I still needed a runner. One of Kamils friends runs (she was actually the swimmer on my team he. I did the NYC Tri). She had a house warming party this weekend and I was talking about it with another friend who said she might know someone but she's not that reliable. The girl said she'd do it but of course until I get a commitment from someone they are not locked in. So Kamils friend is talking about it and I said that I was going to do it but that we are still looking for a runner. Her response was "oh well...I was planning on doing it by myself but... Maybe I could do the relay. Give me a week and I'll let you know." To me it sounded like she really didn't want to do it! So I continued to pursue other options.
Also at the party wad a woman who is an AMAZING triathlete! She did the whole course WAY faster than Kamil! And got 2nd for the women! Pretty impressive. She is pregnant and due in 5 days. She said she wants to get back out there but can't do a full tri right after the baby is born. I mentioned that we were doing the relay and that i didn't have a committed runner yet and she said she would love to it.
There was my mistake. I should have let Kamils friend Jeanne know that I was pursuing other options until I found someone. Cause now Jeanne is not happy that I told her I didnt need her. To be quite honest I don't WANT to do it with her. She kind of drives me nuts! She is one of those people who has to be into EVERYTHING. Kamil and I always joke that she is going to call us up and say "hey guys, you should come hiking with us so we can photograph endangered species and save them and then we'll go find a vaccination for an incurable disease and on out lunch break we'll feed the homeless and then find stray cats a home!" she means well but I get kinda frustrated with her sometimes.
Anyway after calling her and leaving a message and apologizing to her for assuming that she would rather do it alone I came to the realization that I should just do it alone! I think I can do it and I've been wanting to do a full tri rather than just the bike part. I hate saying that I did the NYC triathlon and then having to say "I just did the bike portion." it's suck a killjoy. I think I'm ready to do a tri. I would do the sprint rather than the Olympic length. So I would be doing a 750meter swim (I think), 17k bike and 5k run. The bike is a piece of cake but I do worry a little about the other two. This weekend I'm going to ride my normal 15 mile loop and then go for a run and see how I do.
Kamil and I had a long conversation about then and then I realized I might not even be able to do this! Kamil and I are going to start to try to have kids this summer. If I get pregnant in July, I will be 4 months pregnant in October. Can I do a tri if I'm pregnant? I don't really want to sign up and then not be able to do it and waste the money. I guess it's time for me to find a dr. And find out.
