I'm shocked to hear that anyone would take that distance for granted. That anyone would propose to do such an event, pay over $400 for the priviledge (right?), and not train. Heck. They can save themselves all kinds of pain and suffering, and just write me, or Tracy, or Denise, or Nanci, or Melisa, or KSH, or Tri Girl a check for $400. We'll get some good gear, or a massage, or a bunch of cliff shots with embedded electrolyte tabs, and we'll train for the event! Can people do IM as a relay? That would make a lot more sense for people who don't want to train so much.

That said, you still have to train to swim 2.4 miles OR ride 112 miles OR run a marathon! Grrrr, you can tell this got under my skin.

Denise, you trained, you finished, you are Iron. L.
