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.

Do your research, and practice... (end Mom voice)
This is one of the areas that presents a diving problem for scuba, because of the currents, you can find current charts online.
