Betagirl, congrats on signing up for the Aquathon! That sounds so very exciting! I was going to do one around here (Texas), but the entry fee is $175 (same price as doing the full Half Ironman), so I am passing on it.

You have so much courage and inner strength to sign up for something like this... and for cycling... when you have a disease that makes you feel weak and tired.

As Lise said, listen to your body... and do what you can do. It certainly sounds like you will do a fine job of finishing the aquathon.

Good luck and feel free to keep us posted on how the training is going.
