The ideal bachelorette party for most female triathletes must be something like this: A long hike with the athletic bridal party up some beautiful mountain. Gossip over a hearty and healthy lunch of turkey sandwiches, trail mix, and Gatorade. Hike back down and stay in a cabin, far from the sights and sounds of city living. Especially when you're in the beginning of Ironman training. Wouldn't want to mess with that. Can't skip a workout entirely, right?
But how about living on the edge? Changing things up a bit? Going wild like most other bachelorettes--it's the best excuse you'll ever have to break your routine and do things you'd never ever do while training otherwise. My friends and I chose to go route #2, and it was the greatest party I have ever witnessed. And not just because it was in my honor.
Tips to Avoid Training Burn-Out at Your Bachelorette Party
- Don't train
- Go to Vegas
- Load up at your only meal of the day: a $30 buffet. Try every dessert.
- Gossip. A lot. About boys. Then play "Pin the Manhood on the Man"
- Drink 6,000 plus calories of alcohol over a 9-hour period of time
- Get serenaded by a bunch of men as equally loopy as you are
- Complete dirty dares written on the tags of the lingerie your friends bought you
- Go somewhere where no photography is allowed. See dirty things
- Go clubbing until it's definitely tomorrow
- Follow that up with someone's left-over room service pizza, found in the hallway at 5am to ensure your body, which never ever processes alcohol, doesn't eject anything when you finally go to sleep
- Walk around Vegas like a zombie while window shopping and watching water dance at the Bellagio
- Return home ridiculously motivated to resume training and banish any and all Sin City-induced bloating
