Tri, tri again

Dracunculus recently gave me the advice to find a social circle where I can climb to the top and attract the female of the species with my dominant social status and power.

Well, just to be ornery, I’m joining the Golden Gate Triathlon Club. I showed up for the meeting tonight and there were some truly gorgeous women there. I am WAY out of my class.

Of course, the purpose of being a member of this club is to get support and help training for an event that, in the process, should make me stronger and fitter and faster and perhaps will increase my ability to compete in other social circles. But there’s no two ways about this: I’m starting out here at the bottom of the heap. I’m out of shape and undisciplined and have yet to participate in my first triathlon. This is not what was suggested to me.

OK, I need a wetsuit. Tomorrow: 7pm track run. No time like right away, is there?
