Today was a very productive day. Well I did my best out of it because my flight did not get in till 230 in the morning. I tried to wake up to go to the swim session this morning but there was no way shape or form that I was able to get out of bed with just two hours of sleep. so, I called my assistant coach James, godsend, and he led the work out.So I woke up the first time in a while today like, it was 7:45 AM. As a triathlete coach and athlete it's very hard to wake up that late. My normal time with 4 AM.
Many people think I'm a little bit crazy waking up that early every single day but you have to especially have to lead your team at 5 AM. However you didn't get a lot of things done.
So after waking up I had my breakfast. Call me the crazy but I make this concoction of Greek yogurt protein powder, peanut butter, and fruit. It is delicious and your topped with vanilla granola. Looks pretty. LOL
So, I've been single for the past two years. I've had several dates with people going out couple months getting to know people. But I've had my misfortune of meeting man that suffer from erectile dysfunction or they can't get it up. Extremely frustrating!
However, when you're a triathlete, coach and gay it is extremely hard to meet people. So you try to work through these things but this certainly is you just can't work through. So nowadays they have certain apps you could use to meet men. You have tinder, scruff, grinder, match.com, plenty of fish, Cupid and the list will go on and on.
So you could actually spend hours just going through profiles and seeing what is the best match for you. I got to tell you you become a bit superficial because especially on tinder you're swiping to the left trying to figure out yes, no, maybe, and then you just go through their pictures and judge . Isn't that awful.
So, I was pinned down on a profile from someone in Amsterdam. Yes the app with Scruff. I didn't think that I was going to work with someone that is all the way in the other side of the world. However we started chatting, and the text will go back-and-forth for days. We will share certain pictures and he's a very handsome individual. Very nice guy. But I didn't think anything of it. Because keep in mind I am in Orlando and he is in Amsterdam. On a sidenote I've had long distance relationship in the past and they have homework. So I just kept on chatting with this individual and then I started liking the individual. However, I made it's clear to the individual that I was talking to other people and he knew that. But on many subliminal messages he knew for a fact that I was going to end up with him.
The first time we Skype it, I was nervous as hell not knowing what to expect when I saw his smile, his blue eyes, his gallant brownish hair I did not know what to say. Then I go in my nervous mode and start asking a bunch of questions... He told me he felt like an interrogation. We laughed, we had many breakfast together, lunches, and dinners via Skype keeping in mind that there is a significantly time difference so when I was having breakfast he was enjoying his lunch.
So, I was invited to participate at the euro games in Stockholm. Very excited I did share this news with him and he brought it up and said that it will be nice for us to meet and for him to be there for me in my race. I did share with him that it gets a bit lonely when you are a coach and athlete but you're always cheering people on because you are coach however, it's very lonely road if you're single.
So we made plans he got he booked a hotel room I booked my flight and he booked his. It is going to be five weeks till I meet him. I'm extremely excited I don't know what to do. I have feelings that I cannot explain because I have never met this person we've only chatted via text and Skype but heck life is too short and you have to take chances. I'm all up for it let's see how it goes. I do apologize for all the typos. I'm using Siri as my dictation and I'm walking Murphy. A.k.a. the best puppy in the world.
