Yay!! Congrats on competing the race. The next step in the downward spiral into the full depths of the dark side is doing all three. Then there's the new bike and all the gear that you'll most *certainly* need. Bwwaaaa haaaa haaaaa!!! (rubbing hands devlishly)

I swam every day last week. Today I put on the running shoes and ran 1/2 mile. I wanted to start really slow and easy, gentle on my knees. I know it was 1/2 mile because I got out the 100 foot tape measure and calculated my stride, and wore the pedometer when I ran. 2112 steps to a mile!
I really think I'm going to do all of it next year. My goal is to complete all 3 events, but I'm dreaming about what my time might be! lol2009 Trek 7.2FX WSD, brooks Champion Flyer S, commuter bike

I had my commuter, Crush, over at friend's to get a new chain (chain snapped in the morning!) At the same time I returned her road bike that I'd borrowed again. Her road bike has flat pedals, and I commented, "My road bike will have either clipless or cages." Her husband laughed and said "You'll be sneering at fenders next."
