well why the hell not?
I registered for a random drawing placement into the "Escape from Alcatraz" triathalon in June.
If you don't win a top 3 spot in one of the qualifying triathalons, your only other option to get into the Escape from Alcatraz is their lottery system.
1.5 mi swim, 18 mi bike, 8 mi run.
Why the hell not? I swim a continuous mile in the pool with plans to bring that up to 1.5 mi in the next few months. I currently bike 20 mi straight. I'll have to work up to 8 mi of running, but there's plenty of time. I couldn't think of a good reason to not do it, so I applied to the lottery drawing.
And I'm probably registering for the Olympic Tri in Pacific Grove in September. I have to hold off on any other fall tri's until a good friend figures out his wedding date.
Today has been long and hard, I won't get out of work before 7pm, but it's not a bad day, just a tiring day. And it's my DOR (day of rest, ie. no gym tonight). I plan on vegging out w/ Vic, Marsha, the hubby and whomever else on CoH for a little while and then heading out to the corbie cave to work on my white kirtle from 12th night. And resume watching B5. It all good.

[mom voice] And don't swim in the ocean alone. Lifeguards are wonderful, but there's a lot of space between you and them when you get past the wave break. [/mom voice]
