Thankful Thursday

Augusta is only 16 days away and I'm both nervous and excited. My wave starts at the late hour of 9 AM but I've been told by my coach and fellow triathletes not to worry too much about that. The good news is that I start behind most all of my friends who are also competing. My new goal will be to catch them. Come here wabbits! (I'm kidding because I don't think I'll catch any of them actually.)

Speaking of Augusta I recently posted that I was going to dance as soon as this race was over. I meant dance as in go out dancing since I'll finally have a few mornings to sleep in before I start another cycle of race training. Of course, as soon as I said I'd dance after this guy mentioned dancing as soon as I finished. Like at the finish line. Well, I consider that a challenge. Also, I'm just goofy enough to do it. I recruited this gal to do some dancing with me.

The question arose of what dance I should do. Should I Dougie? Perhaps a little Stanky Leg? Watusi? Crump? Pony? Robot? I mean, the options are endless really.

But then, on a fateful morning as I watched my usual morning show, GMA, I saw a video with a new dance that:  1. Looked real easy. 2. Seemed just ridiculous enough 3. Was really damn catchy, even if I have no clue what he's saying.

What is it you ask? Well see below for the next big 70.3 dance craze....Gangnam Style.


Today I'm thankful for ridiculously silly and fun ideas and having friends who'll follow through with the ridicuolousness with me.

What are you thankful for?

Heeeey sexy lady.....

I feel like you should come up with a little Gangnam Style dance to do coming down the finishers chute. Work on it. :)

Heather said...

This is hilarious. I only wish I were fast enough to watch you do this across the finish line... I'll use it as incentive for me to HTFU.. haha!

Im glad you said not to be worried about having a late wave. I had a minor anxiety attack when I read that yesterday.

I already looked like an idiot when I crossed the finish line so no need for a crazy dance. But will love to hear how yours goes. :)

OMG I am going Gangnam Style across the finish line at IMAZ and we need to recruit KC and Summer to do the same at IMFL.

You need to lead the troops though and do this dance as well.

NO DOUBT!!!!!

I can't take it I am laughing so hard. This is FABULOUS!

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!!!

And this is why I love you.

Also, I'm now thinking we may need to do this at the reception?!?!?

Jess said...

OMG that's perfect! I posted that video before this guy made it onto GMA and I think all my FB friends thought I was crazy! LOL I am SO glad I will be there to capture the moment. Don't fret people I will share the video. :)

Gangnam Style - but only if you can pull off pink shorts with a matching pink vest...

Good luck on the tri. And go Gangnam Style

I'm tempted to do it at every crosswalk now, whenever I'm out for a run. Good thing my foot pain won't let me pull of that kind of movement at this point.

I can't believe I watched that whole video.

Also, you need to do this. I hope people take lots of pictures!
