7 Weeks to Go Featuring Get the Party Started by Pink

Jenn Edwards

Happy Sunday IMC Peeps!

My-oh-my – just seven weeks to go! I had an interesting week here juggling “fun things to do with fitness” and IM training. Short version is I got all my homework done by cheating a bit and taking a day off of work to train. My reward: travelled across the state to race a sprint and took 5^th overall – woot!   Even beat some of the “elites” and had the fastest swim on the day. Wore my “party dress” including wetsuit, shorts, top, disc, etc. that I will wear at IMC and was very happy with it all.   I’ve done the race every year since 2007 progressing from  a 1:45 then to a 1:08 today! #WorkEffingWorks!!!

 

Race rehearsal #1 coming up! Who is excited?!?    

 

The song of the week is Pink’s Get The Party Started. Bring it #1 Superstars!!!  

 

I'm comin' up

So you better

Get this party started

I'm comin' up

I'm comin'

I'm comin' up

So you better

Get this party started

 

Get this party started

On a Saturday night

Everybody's waitin'

For me to arrive

Sendin' out the message

To all of my friends

We'll be lookin' flashy

In my Mercedes Benz

I got lotsa style

Check my gold diamond rings

I can go for miles

If you know

What I mean

 

I'm comin' up

So you better

Get this party started

I'm comin' up

So you better you better

Get this party started

 

Pumpin' up the volume

Breakin' down to the beat

Cruisin' through the west side

We'll be checkin' the scene

Boulevard is freakin'

As I'm comin' up fast

I'll be burnin' rubber

You'll be kissing my ass

 

Pull up to the bumper

Get out of the car

License plate says

Stunner #1 Superstar

I'm comin' up

So you better you better

Get this party started

I'm comin' up

I'm comin'

I'm comin' up

So you better you better

Get this party started

Get this party started

 

Makin' my connection

As I enter the room

Everybody's chillin' as

I set up the groove

Pumpin' up the volume

With this brand new beat

Everybody's dancin' and

They're dancin' for me

I'm your operator

You can call anytime

I'll be your connection

To the party line

 

I'm comin' up

So you better you better

Get this party started

I'm comin' up

So you better you better

Get this party started

I'm comin' up

So you better you better

Get this party started

I'm comin' up

So you better you better

Get this party started

Get this party started

Get this part started right now

Get this party started

Get this party started

Get this party started right now

I actually got to work out the last 2 days with a long run on Thursday and RR swim today. I had to move my mother from North Carolina to California in the past week. The State was going to take her driver's license away after her doctor ordered a driving evaluation. Mother has 2 knees replaced and one hip and the other one is constantly painful. She has been living alone since my father passed away 1.5 years ago. The family has been trying the past year to get her to move but it was forced on her-and that was a good thing after seeing how much she is incapacitated. Long story short no training during this important time pre race for the past week, so I call it a "Life Induced Taper". I know that sometimes plans will not call it a "Taper" but rather "Peaking" right before a race. I have to get the cobwebs off the aero helmet and Speed Fill bottle. Getting the bike ready tonight for the RR tomorrow. Everybody else ready to go??????
