Unless I’m racing…or training. I mean, I just really like pink….and I don’t really mind standing out when I’m working out.  Which is weird, because in real life (so not racing or training I mean [cuz that's not real?]) I actually try to blend-in and NOT be noticed, I even get pretty embarrassed if and when I stand out. Then, I act all awkward and  it’s just not good, trust me.  Just stick me in my ordinary clothes, and plop me in the corner, and DON’T try to small talk with me (now that would be a nightmare!). Training and racing however, I’m the girl almost always in a skirt and sometimes it’s a zebra print skirt, and SOMETIMES I’m wearing HOT PINK COMPRESSION socks with said zebra skirt. I talk, and chat, and gossip, and laugh…maybe it’s the endorphins?

Now, pink has been my most favorite color since I can remember seeing that pink crayon. Wow, the pink crayon. I remember, we (my brother and I) always had our favorites. Mine was red, Chris’s was blue…and then one day…. what’s this?! It was like a pretty, delicate, red….it was PINK and I was in love. I had to have been like 3 years old, and oh yes, I remember it clearly.  That beautiful pink crayon.

It’s not like I wear pink everyday or anything.  I mean, in “real life” I actually don’t wear pink that often (and “real life” doesn’t include work, because I do actually own A LOT of pink scrubs * awkward side glance*).  My “real life” clothes are usually tan, brown, black, white, off-white, denim…..booooooring.  It seems that maybe working out brings out my alter-ego: DIVA KATY MOE, suckas! (imagine that font is  pink and flashing).

So the whole point of this post is me trying my darndest to explain that I’m not a real DIVA,  despite almost always wearing pink while training/racing, and frequently wearing skirts (sometimes floral, sometimes zebra),  insisting on wearing a pink dress in my Ironman and hoping it doesn’t clash with my ZOOT socks because the pink compression socks just feel a little over the top, and of course my pink nail polish was packed before my cycling shoes, and…oh right, back to the point. The point is this…..I have done something diva-ish and I’m about to share it with you.

I blinged-out my garmin.  Yup. Blinged-it-out.  (This would be more funny if you could hear me say it, promise). I mentioned the possible bling-ing of my garmin on Facebook, but now I’ve actually done it.  I laughed the whole time I was doing it (and these things take time), I laughed for my whole first bike ride with it, as all the bling was kind of blinding me *giggle*, and I laugh REALLY hard every time I show it to anyone. So please enjoy my blinged out GARMIN!!!

TA DA!!!!

Happy Training,

Iron Diva Katy Moe
