My plan is to do it.

What was the swim like? I'm not into open water swimming---give me a chlorinated pool over lakes any day.

It's nasty. See this post: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=9102

It was actually better on race day than it was in the practice session.

Hmmmm. Could I? I wonder... August, 2007 huh? I was thinking maybe I would tri in a few years but... Honestly, it's the run that holds me back. I've only gotten to the point where I can jog a little again, and that isn't too coordinated. Of course, I've never really pushed myself harder b/c of the bone pounding aspect. Maybe I'll consult a physical therapist first. It would be so cool tho. From: you'll never walk again - To: triathalete. (Even if I have to crawl across the line, which is probably what would happen. )

See what you ladies have started!!!

Ever since I read Janice's posts about this I've been intrigued by the thought of doing it. After meeting her and taking about it, I knew I had to try. I've now received "permission" from DP, bought running shoes, and am looking into either a swim coach or swimming classes. I haven't registered yet, but I'm gonna do it! I'm so excited!

(I told my mom about this and she asked why I wanted to punish myself. My dad said "You are out of your mind!" At least I have Michele's support!)
