You ladies are amazing and motivating!

I signed up for a duathlon--next July--so I'm registered for Irongirl Triathlon (Columbia, MD in August) and the Blackwater Traverse. The latter is 12K run-70K bike-8K run. It's supposedly on a completely flat course on Maryland's eastern shore, but I've been warned about the heat & need to keep hydrated. Apparently, there's an extremely popular Tri held on the same course.

Did my second brick this morning and felt much better than my first brick, since I made sure I drank gatorade during my bike ride. Gobbled a couple shot bloks before I headed out for my run. I went 40miles on the bike and 3 miles running -- hilly courses (there's no other option in Arlington, VA).

I haven't been to a pool since Labor Day. I'll get that going after the New Year. (uggh) Can I count on yinz to keep me on track with the swimming?
