Thanks for the comments!

Jes, love the socks! My guess is DH will be spoiling me with them soon. He thought they would add to my badassery. We'll see. hehe. Perhaps all the orange will make me more visible?

Tei, in answer to your question... this triathlon is just a sprint distance. So a 1/3 mile swim. Not all that long, but I'm used to doing laps in a pool which has me curious if seeing the distance laid out on the lake w/ buoys will be intimidating.

As for now I'm feeling like I've been hit with a coal train. 100 degree fever, sore throat, coughing, sinus crud. All the good stuff. I'm just hoping I will be well enough to actually participate come Sunday. Going to the Dr. once my hubby gets home so I can try to kill off whatever this is. Arrgh!

On a happier note, I was able to run 3.25 miles yesterday no problem and get my swim in before the pool was closed do to rain.

Is it bad that I am considering bicycling to the Dr. as it is only a few blocks away and I have a hard time justifying taking the car?
