The Wetsuit Boogie (...32)

If you've ever put on a wetsuit, you've practiced 1 or 2 steps of the wetsuit boogie.  Like most dances, it's more fun when you've got a partner.  Today my boogie partner was fellow triathlete, Rachel, who raced the Webster Triathlon.  It's a sprint tri with a 1/2 mile swim in Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.  That's right, Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.  Translated, apparently, this means "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fish in the middle." 

If you've never put on a wetsuit, then here are the steps to the wetsuit boogie:

Cinch up the legs...
 
Twist and shout...

Bend, pull, cinch some more...

Do si do...

Repeat a few steps...

Take a bow!

Several of us, post boogie, entering Lake Chargog...
 
Exiting Lake Chargoggagog...

Boogie-ing back out of my wetsuit.

.8/42/8.9. (...77)

On my way to New Jersey for the Devilman Triathlon! The jersey turnpike is congested and this drive is long but hanging with my Sis makes it a good trip! We'll race a .8 mile swim, 42 miles on the bike, and an 8.9 mile run tomorrow morning!
