a bad omen?

So yesterday my tire blew on my bike.  (took me 45 minutes to figure out how to get it off... couldn't figure out how to get the tube out so took to Bike Doctor... and another 1/2 hour to get it back on!  I'm thinking if I blow a tire during the triathlon everyone will be finished and cleared out by the time I get it fixed).

Today I went for one last practice swim and my bathing suit bottoms fell apart.   Yup.. got out of the pool and walked to the change room when I realized that they were drooping to my knees and completely see through.  I suppose I could be grateful that the flat tire and faulty bathing suit appeared BEFORE the triathlon and not during (oh my gawd that would completely suck).

They say bad things come in 3s.  If my running shoes blow a hole tonight, I'm calling it quits.

The good news is that the lovely guy at Bike Doctor filled my tire with "magic speed air".  So as long as it doesn't blow again...

Onward and upward.

  1. How old is your bathing suit? Good luck on Sunday ! I hope # 3 waits until Monday
