How cool! Keep us posted on the training. It looks brutal. I can't think of a better way to celebrate turning 40!

Congrats!! I had a friend who did that last year. She said it was amazing, but brutal. Be sure to wear a neoprene cap and a couple swim caps for the swim. She said it was the toughest part of the race- but also the most exciting.
What an amazing birthday gift to yourself!

Check out the sand stairs, after an up and downhill run, plus a tough bike ride, I tried out some of the course....

wow- that's crazy steep!
My friend who did that tri said that was the pretty brutal (aside from jumping in the frigid water- but it makes you swim faster, right?).
It still looks like a lot of fun, tho...
