I've Got a Confession


Last week my friend confessed some dirty little secrets in honor on Lance Armstrong coming clean and encouraged us to do the same. I am near perfect so it took me awhile to confess something. Here is what I came up with:

1. I live in Utah and don't ski or snowboard not because I'm "not aloud to" it's because I'm deathly afraid to get off the ski lift and WILL NOT get off. It's extremely embarrassing when they stop the lift and reverse it. While everyone on the lift is probably thinking "oh, some cute little kid was probably scared." Little do they know it's a grown adult. I have pure anxiety just typing this. 

2. I walk around my house mostly nude and now I know why my land lord would show up by surprise until he had a talking to and the mail is on my doorstep instead of in the box.

3. I am by far the laziest athlete you'll ever meet, I hate walking. If I can't get a parking spot close to the entrance of the building I'm going in, I will leave and come back later.

4. I never put my shopping cart in the shopping cart corral at the grocery store because I hate walking. The way I see it is I'm doing that bag boy a service and creating work for him to do and providing job security. Although at the time I get embarrassed when I leave it on the curb or in between cars and don't make eye contact with anyone and quickly get back in my car and take off.




5. I'm afraid of deer.I also believe that there are ghosts and sharks in the pool. 


The deer thing, they seem to be pretty attracted to me and I swear they are possessed by the devil.


Ghosts and sharks in the pool. I had kept this fear quiet and never told anyone until my girlfriend, Kristi Johnson (who races and coaches for Break Through Multisport) and I were talking about how a girl on her team had the same fear. I was so eager to know that somebody had the same concerns for their safety in the pool as me and quickly confessed that I had the same fear. I so excited to have my fear validated and was quickly told that she was like 10 years old. It's ridiculous, stemmed from nothing, and a complete irrational fear!


PROOF! That is definitely a ghost getting out of the pool.

I feel so much better! What do you need to confess?

  2. I am made fun of in the trip club for being absolutely sure a shark is going to get me in the lake...I still need to double check the lanes in the pool just to make sure.

  3. LOVE this!!! I am guilty of putting carts in anywhere- its my new year's resolution to do better at putting them back. Also, at big box stores I'll open up boxes and try things out before I buy because I figure it saves me the hassle of returning it if I don't like it. Boo to me (and I don't do it all the time and never at a smaller store). I don't know if I feel any better though confessing. :)

  4. If I go to the Layton surf and swim to swim laps and the only lane open is the one next to what I call "the shark cage" where the waves come out... I go home. Its a chain link fence wall in the deep end of the pool and pitch black darkness behind it. I'm certain there are sharks behind the fence. 100% certain.
