I just loooove my sister’s rendition of her triathlon experience.
Just look at those tongues! And the wobbly running legs!!! So spot-on!
“So MJ, how was your first sprint triathlon?” you ask?
Well… I survived.

It was then characterized by not being able to see anything and a seaweed attack here and there.
Minus the initial hill-induced delirium, it was probably the funnest bike ride I’ve ever done. Also, Austin’s skyscrapers were all talking to me.

I really thought I was smiling normal but I look totally manic in all the photos. I had the misfortune of being in the final wave, which started at about 9:30! So when I was running at 11, well… IT WAS REALLY HOT OUT.
“So, would you do it again?” you ask.
YEAH!!

Heading back to Chicago today. No more flashback poems until next trip to Kwan Headquarters.
OVERDONE WORDPLAY, YAY! HOORAY!
The poem is from 2009ish, drawings added retroactively (as in, I just drew them).
Whenever I come home, I like to dig through all my old “artwork” and scraps to ROFL at. Here’s a pair of items related to my sister. Don’t get her confused with the ice skater of the same name — my sister is a former roller derby star jammer.
It’s even fraaamed! This was probably some time around 2006 or something.
This next one is what happened when Mimi and I found Mabel’s typewriter, circa 2009. Excuse the Engrish mockery. And the misspelling of sonnet – no erase button on a typewriter, and no use typing a dash over a t. Also, I think the Mount Bonnell stutter was my attempt to keep iambic pentameter.
