Yay, Quill and X and jesvetmed!

I registered mixed age but then was advised by an experienced friend that mixed age is HUGE and I should change it to my age group, which would be the 50-54 group, since the group size is much smaller and more manageable. Happy to hear advice/thoughts from the rest of you on this...we can change groups up to two weeks before.

What a nutty day. One of my teachers ran frantically into my office today around 10 am saying "I can't get through, I can't get through to register in Danskin!". I think it was school district internet blocking. The librarian finally figured out how to bypass the blocking, just in the nick of time. Then I went to a 1 pm meeting with another tri teacher who'd just gotten a freaked-out phone call from her friend, who had waited a few hours to register and by the time she tried, it was closed. Boy, what a PAGEANT this whole thing is. That's why I think it'll be fun. Phew.

Since Nanci and I are engaged in an ongoing email contest which we call "who looks more like Jabba right now?", I think I will win the "oh my God I have to be in public in a wetsuit, the horror, the horror" contest. But I would feel stupider if I let that stop me from doing something I think I can do so...onwards. And outwards (wetsuitwise)!
