Car Awesome (KHess, myself and SteveS) hit the road on Thursday afternoon for the 20 hour drive to USAT Collegiate Triathlon Nationals.
Being triathletes, we only made it to Iowa City before the taper week hunger took control, forcing us to stop for all-you-can-eat soup, salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden.
Nothing says “I’m carb loading” like four bowls of breadsticks, 4 bowls of salad, four bowls of soup, a pasta entrée and a tiramisu boozy drink for three people.
We also said “heck yes” to a sample of the featured wine, practically before the waitress could get the word complimentary out of her mouth. I was the only one who was carded, which, the waitress informed me is because “blonde hair makes you look young.” Guess I better keep up the highlighting!
Back on the road with some leftover breadsticks and a stack of mints, KHess and I have made it our mission to make #TriNats a trending topic on Twitter. Check out the action via @KHesser and @RunBlonde if you’re into that sort of thing.
