Oops thought of another thing I JUST had to share.

I am swimming in the Blizzard Biathlon on Sunday. I have the easy leg. the run is 5 miles outside on all the snow and ice. It is supposed to warm up by sunday to the mid 20's so lets hope it does (-10 F this morning w/ -25 to -30 windchill).

the swim is jsut a 500. The only hard part is they don't seed the lanes. Last time I got in a lane with a speedy high school swim team girl and a pokey young semi beginner swimmer. Even though we were circle swimming in the lane we would end up in the same place at the same time so couldn't pass.

Although it is just a fun Bi. I am going to suggest for next year people put a guesstimate on their 500 time and seed the lanes for 8 min, 9 min 10 min etc. At least it would be a few laps before anyone caught up and had to pass someone.

Oh well it is just for fun and honor.

Next year i hope to do the whole thing - my relay partner is learning to swim better and I am learning to run!
