Well I finally got up the nerve and registered for the Carpenteria tri in September. I am going to do the sprint- it's a short course: .5k, 15k, 5k.

The bike will be no problem, swimming should be okay (I swam a mile in the pool this afternoon), so now it is working on that 5k run. I have always hated running but then again I never had a good reason to run. So far I am walk/running 2.5k and increasing.

My cycling and swimming buddy are going to start getting out to the beach and swimming once a week, that is, when my wetsuit arrives. Water here is a chilly 64ºF. Brrr. But there are always dolphins so that is a bonus.

Yay- I learn a lot here at TE!
