There is a lot that goes into getting ready for an Ironman or ½ Ironman race. Obviously there are the months and months of training and the mental preparation. That we all know about, but once you have done that there is so much more to do. I am talking about the more important stuff! The stuff that really matters on race day – like ensuring your toenails are painted (preferably matching your bike), your legs and under arms are shaved or waxed and your hair is done. In my case when I say done I mean coloured. Horror of horrors, your finish photo has the grey showing! So, to ensure that this disaster does not befall me I am off to an emergency appointment with my hair dresser this afternoon.
A few weeks ago I realised that my next appointment was only after the 20th I called him in a panic and asked if he could please, please, please squeeze me in beforehand. He laughed and said yes, and I was the 2nd person that week to phone him for the exact same reason.
Very glad to see that we PE athletes have our priorities straight!

LOL! But then I do understand
Real Priorities
A girl’s got to look gorgeous even after doing the such a tough race
Best of Luck with the event.
A good athlete must look her best when she gets to the finish line;-)
Oooh darling, I’d say your priorities are spot on! You MUST look good in that picture when you cross the finish line! Good luck. Will be thinking of you. xx
Hope you had a good race? And croSsed the finished line looking good
