I'm SO excited that you'll be joining us for all the fun- they really are the most addictive thing I've ever done.
Whoa there...I don't know that I will. I find this intriguing but frightening, due to my performance anxiety issues. And, it would be awhile, because I can't run with this excess weight I'm carrying...and I don't know if I can even run once it's off. Got a bad knee.

But, I'm working on the weight issue this winter, and plan to really up the bike performance with 2 LONG, HARD goal rides next summer. Hoping to cross train for weight loss and to stay healthy for the bike, so wondering how training for a first little Tri next year would mesh with an all out effort for PB performance on the bike.

Really appreciate everyone's comments. I'm a bit of an obsessor, if you can't tell. (Edited to add: I'm big on trying to find courage and doing what I'm afraid of...but I am a big chicken deep down.)
