I’ve been in FL doing some training with my group: Billy, JZ and Brandon.
In the last week living in close quarters with my beloved friends I have (re)learned the following things:

1. I really dislike swimming.

2. If you’re dehydrated, chronically, you’ll get bad headaches.

3. East coast humidity makes you really sweaty wet.

4. Swimming outdoors in a great pool makes swimming so much better.

5. I know more about my teammates bodily functions than I should know.

6. We always wait for Billy.

7. If you don’t eat enough day after day when training you will eventually bonk. And when you bonk, you’ll bonk HARD.

8. Staying in a place with fleas becomes problematic.

9. JZ and Brandon cook the best meals. Ever.

10. Brandon needs less than 5 minutes to be out the door from wake-up. He prefers not to be woken before this send off.

11. Billy’s marine skills come in handy for us. Every day. He can figure anything out.

12. I am not sure who smells worse with body odor or farts: Billy, Brandon or me. So far JZ doesn’t stink.

13. I break out in song at any moment.

14. Brandon can still hang onto Billy’s wheel with a broken spoke.

15. Poop is funny. Period.

16. Who knew Florida had hills?

17. Sugar cookies with frosting will last 1.2 days with our gang.

18. You can, in fact, laugh so hard you pee.

19. When JZ wakes up in the morning, her hair frizzes out and she looks like Diana Ross.

20. Being out of shape is really difficult. Mentally. Physically.

21. If I had to be cramped with 3 other people to swim,bike,run, live …. I cannpt think of 3 I’d rather be with.

I am so tired I can barely type.
Cheers.
