Yikes!

I just officially registered for the triathlon tonight. I now have invested a significant sum of money and the word is going to be getting out just in a matter of days about what I"m jumping into. I certainly hope I can do it....I'm going to try my best. I'm in week 8 of the 20 week training, so it is coming along. I do have the hardest section to go though. That is good, because I definitely wouldn't be ready if I was supposed to race it this weekend.

The triathlon is on April 5th and now I need to work on getting a hotel, likely some aero bars, adjustments on my bike, a new helmet, a wetsuit, etc. I have just dabbled with triathlons before this---but you have to be comfortable for an event that is going to take many hours.

I'll say it now (and likely again)...my goal is to cross the finish line. I might have a more specific goal closer to the time but I think finishing it is my main focus.

If you want to learn more about the triathlon, check out http://www.lonestartriathlon.com/lonestar/index.html. It might be too much information. I'm going to do the half (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run). Don't forget what I'm doing it for---to challenge myself and to raise money for pancreatic cancer! That is the most important part!!!
