    Haven't done a tri in 4 years - doing Chicago on 8/29

    Hi,

    I used to hang around these boards a few years back. Then I broke my collarbone skiing, had surgery, and then a frozen shoulder during rehab.

    This week I have been running a swimming a lot. 2 weeks ago I looked at my dusty road bike and decided to take her into the shop for a clean up and a tune up. I have ridden twice. My swimming, while not what it was 20 years ago, is better than it was when I was doing tris in '06. My running is also stronger than it was in '06.

    Out of nowhere I had an email in my box last week that there was still time to register for Chicago, which is weird, it used to sell out by spring. I signed up for the sprint.

    Looking forward to getting back in the game.

    Thanks - that is the real Brina - 14 years ago. We said goodbye to her about 2 years ago. She was the best dog EVER.
