Last night Team Couch was a bit late to the race. We were running around in our own little abode cleaning, tossing crap, and sprinting up the stairs. What we caught of the other teams in Chile were high anxiety for us. They just seem so clueless sometimes. My Couch Partner was surprised when I let out a little sob when Grandma and Granddaughter triathletes were eliminated. She was kicked in the HEAD by a cow for gods sake - give her some credit for finishing the task!
It did make me wonder if we, over the age of 40, would be too old to really compete with those young lovers who are always on the race and dominate. They have endurance, are quick, and despite what Miss Teen says they are kind of stupid (usually)... but they are forces to be reckoned with. Could we do it?
Well, for our training for this week we are heading to the gym to play racquetball and start a running program. Who knows? Team couch might just have what it takes - we aren't granny's after all! Stay tuned for next weeks post about Team Couch - the Amazing Race Team to Beat of the Couch Set!
