And now, having done 6 triathlons, a 1/2 marathon, the Chicago Marathon, and a metric century on my hybrid bike, I *know* I can do it, if I'm willing to put in the effort. I love hearing the other stories of changed lives.

Lise, an OT question...I know there are duathlons with run/bike. Are there duathlons with just swim/bike? I have a bad knee that makes running my biggest (at least in my mind) mental hurdle to triathlons.
