I knew we were in for a treat when our motel had a "Master Charge" sign hanging below it, rather than the more commonly known "MasterCard." I'm not sure that anything, including that sign, had changed since 1979.
Let me introduce you to all the amazing features of the Parish Motel in Burley, Idaho.
You need to call someone? Sorry this phone will only get you to the front desk.
Towels come with complimentary holes and stains. See Kris's fingers poking through? Also note the pretty decor.
However, for 50 bucks a night (and nothing else available), it was worth it. We were minutes away from the start of our race. Ah spandex... now that's why everyone wants to do a triathlon, right?
In the end I didn't need knee pads but would have liked some miracle surge of energy halfway through my run. It didn't come. The last three miles of that run were painful.

I'm a little surprised that Burley has a triathlon.
Bravo, missy, bra-friggin-vo.
That motel looked like a real slice. As for the triathlon - I'm really proud and impressed!
sherpa, it's actually a big deal. they allow registration for 1500 and it sells out in less than 12 hours. i think everyone does it for the swim because most people can break their swim record times because of hte current.
dainon, thank you. it was super awesome. soon i can say i did a half marathon, just like you!
mum, thanks for your support! can't say i'd thought i'd be racing a year ago. funny what can happen when you get off your butt! can't wait to see you on friday.
