So I swam laps today....

[lph]

PS - dares have very little effect on me. One of the things that pushed me over the edge was on the fourth of July, when the husband of one of the cyclists I ride with opined that I couldn't do it. That's how you get me to try anything.

Terrific

You rock, OakLeaf!

My husband just completed a 1200K rando ride last week. Was a bit nervous the week before, since the longest ride he'd done before that was a 600K. We put it all in equation form:

DFL>DNF>DNS

Ok, I have to bite - DNF = did not finish.

DNS = did not start?

DFL = ?

I am the same way - and looking forward to hearing all about it! You will have a great time and be so glad that you went for it!

Dead F***ing Last.

Dead F***ing Last.

Ahhh, ok. That is what "I" would be if I tried a Tri - I can't swim (other than a pretty good back-stroke) or run more than .5 mile

So I think you Tri-gals just plain rock - and I will stick to my bike and focus on endurance

I used to say the same thing. Hang out in this forum long enough and you'll get sucked in too! It only took me 5 years to finally give in commit to it....

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Oak, I am with the rest of they ladies here, you will rock it & surprise yourself. You always amaze me how you jump out there and do distances that you do. You haven't swam in years & look what you did! I think you are in awesome shape/fitness level. You may not win or place but you will have completed it!
Good luck!
