Thanks!

I figure worst case scenario - the swim takes me an hour (I know in the pool I can do a mile in less than 30 minutes), the bike takes 4 hours (that's sub 15 mph!, I know I can do better than that) and the run will take 3. Hey that's only 8 hours! That's 10 hours less than it took me to do a double century last year.

I think the ultra distance cycling has at least given me the proper mindset for this. And I'm excited. I've always wanted to do a tri, but I've been afraid of various aspects of it.
