I found two cool events that I would like to do this year, an aquabike race (swim-bike) and the Ventura-Santa Barbara MS Ride (2-day with 30-160 mile options). Problem is, they are a week apart.

Is it crazy to think of tackling both? Am I setting myself up for injury and the SAG bus, or wasted entry fees?

They are at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct, so I have plenty of time to train.

The aquabike is first, with a 1.5 mile swim and a 56 mile ride. I'm excited about this, because I used to do triathlons, but I really hate running. This way I can race (har!) without the stupid part. I want to do my best and try to come in closer to the middle than the end of my age group.

The 2-day could be 100/60 or 60/60 or 30/30 or any combination of those. I'm kind of thinking 100/30, cause I'd like to get a century in there. It looks really fun, and it's in a pretty area.

Any thoughts?
