Yes.

When I turned 40, my sister said, "At last your body has reached your spiritual age." I was a responsible, serious kid way too early. Except when I was on my bike. Then I flew.

I don't enjoy running much. It's hard work. But I love what it's done for my body and my spirit. It also helps me be stronger and more energetic for my work, which is a bit of an endurance sport itself sometimes!

My favorite t-shirts at the Chicago Marathon included "Running Stinks" and "But I Thought You Said 2.62 Miles!"

The thought of running that after swimming 2.5 miles and riding 112 miles is incomprehensible for me. After I did a metric century on the bike this summer, I said to my friend Paul, "So, wanna go run 13 miles?" He said, "I'll be lucky if I make it to the car!" I can conceive of doing a 1/2 IM. That will be a life time achievement!

I agree with triflor, the Oly distance tri is a good race. Or, in my case, a good event, 'cuz I'm certainly not racing against anyone!
