Oh, wait. I'm actually not kidding. Uh oh.

Planning to do the Seattle Danskin triathlon with a friend in August. Getting started on training now. And those of you who know me at all know that I need every minute between now and then if I'm going to. . . finish is too simple. . .survive. . .I think "survive" is the word I'm looking for.

Tips and wellwishes and attempts to talk me out of this are all appreciated.

Don't wear speedos on the bike.....they go up your bum!

Tackam,

good luck and remember to have fun. The only thing that I've done that I was proud of was the CALIFORNIA AIDS RIDE. It's a bicycle ride from SAN FRANCISCO TO LOS ANGELES. 560 miles in 7 days. I actually did it twice. HYDRATE HYDRATE HYDRATE that's my advice. You probably already know that. I admire you for pushing yourself.

You can do it, you can do it

Keep the chant!!!!

Thanks, people! Now, prepare for 6 months of me whining. . .
