I'm going to do it. I have been training for a couple of weeks now and am going to do THIS.

If I survive, the following week I'm going to do THIS.

Prayers, kind thoughts, and screams of "Get your butt up that hill!!" are all welcome.

Excellent Dude! Man if I had time I'd head up and do it with you! You've still got plenty of training time before the race. How is your swimming doing?

I can sometimes finish the swim in the top 10 but quickly drop to middle of the pack in the run. I can hold my own on the bike but the swim is my thing. I think I'll be better with the biking and running this year. I know for sure I will be doing two races this year.

Wow... good luck. I'm considering doing a short tri this summer, or maybe an adventure race.

Wow, that's very cool. I've been riding for years with tri-guys (and gals - some of whom have qualified for nationals in the half and full Ironman), listening to their conversations, so I am about as knowledgeable about tris and training as any armchair expert can be. Ask me anything. [img]smile.gif[/img] ("the most important traning you can do is bricks to prepare you for doing more than one thing at one time".)
