No, not that kind of stripper (with tear away pants and a banana hammock) a wet-suit stripper. Charisa suggested that a stripper would be a good volunteer job at IMWI. Well, from her perspective it might be. But, let us go back in time to the Door County Half Ironman last summer when I finished the swim, was sprinting up the boat launch and was knocked spread-eagle to the mat by an over zealous stripper. And let me tell you, this is one guy I would not want to see in the above mentioned tear away pants and sausage smuggler - he was "large-ish". So, I am not a fan of strippers (either kind in this case.) I tend to believe that I can dress and undress myself rather speedily on my own. I am good with the gear bag sort and bike catch at IMWI. MS however will be wearing the HAZMAT suit at the bike catch thanks to D planting the image of urine soaked machinery being flung in our direction. Real good.
I think wetsuit strippers have to deal with more pee than bike catchers, but still... The only job I've ever done at IM's is transition fuel. The best part? I was getting paid! None of this volunteer crap for me heheh :D
I love movies, long walks on the beach, and cliches. And stealing lines from t-shirts. I have a family and some hobbies and I like to do stuff and other stuff. Don't be lazy, read my blog and you'll figure it out.

"Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen. Perseverance means more than just hanging on, which may be only exposing our fear of letting go and falling. Perseverance is our supreme effort of refusing to believe that our hero is going to be conquered."
