In the water would definitely be the worst, but no problem - just save the person in front of you the trouble of kicking off your goggles during the swim and do it with your eyes closed. If you don't see them, they're not there ..... right? Either that or swim wicked fast. Yeah, that'd probably be better.Tri4Successhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956192345302508941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346708206882351815.post-28431173543376948132011-04-25T22:08:24.355-05:002011-04-25T22:08:24.355-05:00No way a snake messes with a super duper ultra coo...No way a snake messes with a super duper ultra cool way awesome IM'er....NO WAY!<br /><br />Don't let this get in your head....you are there to compete and not be the snake whisperer....<br /><br />BTW - I will be there will bells on to root root root for IM TX Mommy!!!!!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346708206882351815.post-47991690567282681392011-04-25T20:17:37.598-05:002011-04-25T20:17:37.598-05:00This made me nervouse to my stomach just reading i...This made me nervouse to my stomach just reading it.
