[I couldn’t have made this up if I tried.]
After this morning’s post about my random stalking of the Mr. / Mrs. Ironman at my office building, I have some breaking news.
As I was leaving today…there SHE was!!!
Oh, so I could just post this statement, and you guys would say “oh funny” and we’d have a jolly laugh. However, I thought, What if they think I am making that up? I have to preserve my journalistic (and stalking) integrity!!!
So SHE is fit (a given) and has curly blond hair. Maybe 5’6″ or so. Maybe mid-thirties? Early forties? Hard to tell. She was wearing sunglasses.
I was frozen! I could run towards her, flailing my file folder and iPhone, screaming, “Hey, it’s me! Your new best friend! I like triathlon! Hey! Hey….” But she was getting in her car, and besides the fact, my little intro would be quite awkward, and at least I recognize that little fact.
Anyway, I couldn’t let this post go without some proof.
So ta-da! Here’s the proof that not only have I lost my ever-loving triathlon mind… but that I am willing to admit it.
LOL! at least you have a face to go with the car. Easier to stalk that way… 🙂 I met a blogger at Augusta and it was soooooo awkward. I knew it was her because you know we like to post pictures of ourselves all over the internet and she was a pretty popular blogger. She had zero clue who I was PLUS I had the post race high going so I came off as a total idiot. It was a "you don't know me but I know everything about you" verbal vomit kind of thing. Not my finest moment.
Maybe next time you see her just casually ask about the sticker – maybe ask her what race she did to get things going.
And then say "Pose for a picture??" 🙂 (too much??)
LOL! I used to park a few spaces away from an ironman in my apartment building's parking garage (pre-Texas). I used to check out his car, his bike rack, HIS BIKE (he would load it up the night before a race and back the SUV up to the wall)!! Yeah, I finally met him too. I am impressed that I did not ask for his autograph or try to hug him. I might have tried to set a word-speed record. I am amazed he did not take out a restraining order.
