Damn the torpedoes. I'm doing it.

And now I'm even more ticked at my coach. She sent me my week's plan and said "this is what I would have had you do if you weren't doing the 600K, so adapt it as you need to." Um, isn't that what I'm paying YOU for??

I'll have 5 weeks from this Saturday to the HIM. In the grand scheme of things, I just don't think this is going to mess with my HIM preparedness all that much, unless I manage to injure myself.

Thank you all for your words of advice - it helped!

BTW, I'm flattered by the votes of confidence on my time goal, but I suspect I'll come in pretty close to that. The race is at elevation (4000 feet for the swim & run, and the bike course is hilly and climbs up Mt. Bachelor to an elevation of 6500 feet) and it's typically in the 90s in afternoon.
