Geez... why can't adult tris have just a quarter mile run?

I'm with V! Let's see....my ideal triathlon...3 lap swim, 30 mile ride, 1/4 mile run...yep, that's about right!

Thanks for telling us about it, RM! It sounds wonderful. L.

Sounds good to me, Lise! I know several people who have begged me to do a sprint tri when they see me ride. Uh, let's see: I hate swimming and am scared to death to swim where I can't put my feet down or get to the edge of the pool. I wear contacts and haven't found a pair of goggles that fit right for my teeny head. And then there's the running. I started running about 4 years ago and was working up slowly to 10K. I am very slow, about a 10 min. mile. Then I pulled my groin and now every time I try running it hurts. it also hurts when I x country ski. Plus, now that I live on a hill and every time I run down or up many parts of my body hurt. I would love to be able to run as cross training and for my osteopeinia, but it's not going to happen...
But I could do 1/4 a mile!
