Remember when I became a triathlete? i.e. a Woman of Steel? Ah yeeaah. Best. Day. Ever.

Well now it's time for you to become a Woman of Steel too. Registration for the 2010 race (on May 22 in American Fork, UT) is open now. Don't think about all the reasons you think you can't do this. Don't think about why you shouldn't. Just go sign up. Right now.

Are you still talking yourself out of it? Stop it! Seriously. You will be so happy you did this race. Yes. It is hard. Stinking hard. Yes. You will want to quit. Every mile. 'Specially the ones uphill. But you will also feel the most amazing rush of power and ability surge through you when you cross that finish line. Trust me.

And just know...You can totally do it. You can. It's only a 300 yard swim in a pool (and if you need to stop and stand up or walk a few yards to catch your breath, you can. You can even doggy paddle the swim if you don't know how to freestyle.), followed by a 12 mile bike ride, followed by a 3 mile run. It's a women-only race, so no worries about the big, huge, hulking men (although that might be quite nice, come to think of it). AND it's women of all ages, ability, shape, and size. Frit and I met a 16-year-old and a 76-year-old in line at the starting point this last year. And small people (like Frit) and not-so-small people (like me) can, and do, finish. It's just an all around amazing day that celebrates the strength of women.

So do it. Because you can.

And let me know if you do! We can all train together.

p.s. they also take relay teams if you're just completely scared to death of doing the whole thing yourself.

p.p.s. registration fills up fast so don't think too long about signing up. Frit and I had the alarms on our phones set to remind us to register today.

p.p.p.s. if you live out of state...Come! You can stay with us (is that ok Frit?) and it'll be awesome!
