SINCE SHE WAS WORKING OUT WITH THE GUYS, I DECIDED IT WOULD BE BEST IF I TOO TOOK UP TRIATHLON. I HAD NEVER SWAM BEFORE SO I STARTED OFF WITH THE DOG PADDLE AND THE BACK STROKE, AND ELICITED MUCH MIRTH AMONG THE TRIATHLETES. HOWEVER, MY BIKING WENT MUCH BETTER, AND WITH THE HELP OF A WEEK SPENT AT STANFORD AND MY NIGHTLY MASTER'S SWIM CLASS I WAS ABLE TO HOLD MY HEAD UP, SO TO SPEAK.
