Jack’s Generic Triathlon
I’m not sure if this is a good motivation or a sign of lingering pain medication, but a buddy of mine just called me and asked me how I was doing in the gym (among other things). The answer? Well, pretty much nothing. For some reason, got us talking about other activities and this then inspired me to register for my first tri, Jack’s Generic on 9/4. So its official, I guess. Now all I have to do is figure out how I’m going to survive the swim. The good news is that its only 500M, pretty much the shortest tri-swim ever. The bad news is that I don’t think I’ve swum more than 120M consecutively, ever.
Shrug. I’ll figure it out. Or drown. My money’s on the former, though, and I do have about six weeks to get my non-swimming-self into the pool… Maybe now that there’s cash paid out for registration I’ll actually do it.

No problem. You’ve got six whole weeks to start riding your bike again, relearn how to swim, and fit in your running. Should be a snap, eh? :-)
I’d start sooner rather than later on the whole swimming/cycling issue, though.
I dig the Generic race t-shirt, by the way. Way cool.
