That would be great if you signed up for that race!
Actually, when you asked me why I didn't do one sooner, I got to thinking about it. Then I finished reading "Transformed by Triathalon" by Jane Booth, which scared the heck out of me because of how unprepared I am. It seems like there are a million details. But I've been following your blog and GoatFace's blog and you make it seem do-able if I'm sufficiently committed to it.
So I jumped in. I was even thinking of you as I registered and kind of privately hoping you'd say "me too!". So that's really cool.
I would love to meet for a bike ride at some point. Although I have to warn you, I'm the noobiest of noobs when it comes to cycling. I biked a lot until I was about 20-ish (getting to and from school/work/etc), which was 18-ish years ago. I don't own a bike. I'm borrowing a bike, the owner is giving me some "road" tires to put on her mountain bike wheels, and I will need some time to reaquaint myself with the mechanics before I am ready to inflict myself on others. My big concern is that I would hold you back.
Hmm.. course is very hilly. Okay, noted. Concord is pretty flat, so I will go look for hills to drill on once I get the bike. (I'm so excited about this bike. I can barely sit still).
