I having been having a delima about ways to spend my time. Do I spend all of my free time sanding, spackling, painting, weed pulling,unpacking and cleaning? Do I spend my free time studying, reading,calculating, writing,grading, absorbing? Do I spend my free time biking, swimming, running, walking my dog, atempting to navigate the confusing UC Davis Tri team website? Do I spend my free time making friends, finding men, socializing????? and what have I been doing? A little reading, a little homework, a little paint prep, a tad bit of biking, some socializing and I hate to say it.. A LOT of TV. It’s a drug.. and it’s easy to do… very little thought goes into it.
I am going to work on being a better student, a better home owner, and GASP maybe a better athalete. Maybe…. I have to start with going to work outs… and none of them seem to fit into my schedule. Or do they not fit in because it’s not something I really feel comfortable doing. If I could easily fit in with this group maybe It would work…. my inner nerd comes out. The girl who never got picked for any sport team… How could I be on the tri team?
Deep breath.. I did fine on the 14 mile bike ride… actually I wasn’t even sore..
maybe I do have what it takes?

Erin, you are a Legacki! You have sports in your blood. And from my experience, endurance sports are filled with nerds

Remember when you ran your first 5k with me? You totally stuck with it. You have the right to call yourself an athlete. Go with that.
Pick up that running book I gave you. In there is a discussion about runners’ self esteem. In summary, the book says there’s a difference between “I run” and “I am a runner.” You are an athlete. You are a tri-athlete. You are not a try-athlete. I know this, because I have seen it.

Comment by Danno October 13, 2008 @ 5:15 pmI know what it’s like to go back to your old college after a few years away – familiar and strange all at the same time. Sounds like your handling it really well – take the familiar parts you like and find new stuff to keep you movin’ forward. Stick with the Tri-club, there cliquey everywhere (Tri people LOVE themselves, remember your old boss!) but great training and you’ll soon be burning their airses!
