This is the conversation that followed:
Me: "I can take a hint! anyone notice... I don't swim! (or ride bikes, or run...) Hmmm..."
Adam: "Lol, its your lucky day! You can enter as a relay team! If you ask nicely, you might be able to get Erika on your team for the swim portion. The test will be to see if three of you combined can keep up with Lauren. Mwahahahaa...."
Lauren: "Are you challenging me Adam? Game on Sista's" (- this is written by a person whose been doing triathalons for over 2 years now!)
Adam: "OOOOoooo... I believe the gauntlet has been thrown!"
Jacque: "I am really glad that Breanne and I are not included in this match up. I'm not sure if Erika really appreciates it though."
Adam: "Thats cuz YOU guys are doing the WHOLE THING!"
Jacque: "ha ha You are very funny"
(The next morning I wake up to this email:)
Erika: "I'm pretending not to have read this...."

Dad, I thought you would get a kick out of this. Erika's comment is classic!
I'm confused? If Lauren is the lure "rabbit" and it takes three hounds to chase the lure - suggesting Erika, Nikki (ha ha) and a third someone - wouldn't that fall to either Jacque or Bre? Anyway, Adam's heart is in the right place - challenging his sisters to a tri - but I'm thinking healthy living is the objective not martyrdom.
I actually think Adam picked the perfect challenge. I think he has our best health in mind and has felt reinvigorated by tri-ing something new and wants others to share the experience. And this tri is very beginner friendly. Then he even suggested doing a relay which means you only have to do one thing run, bike, or swim. And it's all women, particularly beginners, which is the most non threatening kind of race you can do. Then he added a challenge to me to see if I could stay ahead of the group (and I always love a challenge). So I would really like to do it with the sisters. I think it could be a lot of fun.
