Lise,

you are too funny and make me smile! I swam 22 lengths of the pool this morning and boy do I have a LONG way to go to get to the 17 laps without stopping! I did a length and stopped at each end but worked on my form and just getting used to being back in the pool again and the breathing. I'm going to try to get there 2 days a week until I get up to the distance... we'll see!

I'm definately with you on the whole bike thing - that will be the easy leg. I did a wicked hilly (for me, anyway) 42 mile ride Friday and I am SO proud of myself. I have told everyone who will listen where I rode - of course, they're probably rolling their eyes because their great grandma raced up that hill last week or something! I used to jog when I was younger but its just so hard on the body these days. The tri is only 3 miles (flat) though so I'm just going to start walk/jogging my 6 mile walk until I can jog it all or at least 3/4 of it - that'll just half to be enough!

Thanks for letting me blab! I finally told DH that I actually signed up for a tri - initially I just said I was gonna do one (he was probably thinking, uh huh, okay honey...) and he was actually supportive!

Gotta go get rid of the chlorine! Have a great day!!!

Tracy
