A Triathlon? ahuh.

Marisa was all a buzz talking about a triathlon (the Jordanelle) and I didn't even pay attention thinking, there was no way. Then I was swimming with Amber on Wednesday and she crunched some numbers for me after we did 7oo meters. She said that the swim was just one more length. Well if you put it like that, maybe.... I've been doing this swimming blitz lately.... so I went home thinking about it.....

I love the internet. In a half an hour I found,

*the race maps with mileage marked

*a blog of someone who had done it,

*a flickr type site where some one had posted all the pictures from last year,

*a training schedule.

*and a registration form.

I got sucked in. Plus the start is at Rock Creek State Park! Tom did you see that. Only 5 miles from the cabin. It was providence--meant to be.

So who else wants to do it? It's an invitation and it'll be fun....I'm doing the sprint one that is a half mile swim, 13 mile bike ride, and a 5K. And if you can't swim, Vanessa taught me over the phone--she could teach you too.

The training schedule said "from the couch to the race"--my hope.

I went to a cycling class this morning--WHAT HAVE I DONE?
