half ironman #2

i signed up for another half ironman. some people will think i'm crazy (mom and dad), but i really enjoy working toward a goal and the variety of training that triathlon offers. so, the next one will be in oklahoma city on september 19th. this will be a little more of a commitment since i will have to take the day off work to drive there on friday. this is one of the rare triathlons that is on a saturday instead of a sunday. it is about a 7 hour drive...not horrible. i'm not sure if i'll hit the road right after the race and drive back that night to avoid another hotel stay or just drive back on sunday. we'll see.

i am excited to see a US city that i've never visited before. i think with this race i'm going to try to keep a tally of all the miles it takes to complete the race. we'll see how good i am at that, but it might make it more interesting. i'm doing a sprint triathlon in a couple of weeks as well. let's see how well my fast-twich muscles work after the distance training!
