Tri-ing
Very little has changed since last summer, when, having had a couple glasses of champagne I was conned into running a half marathon.
A couple of weeks ago at my dad's house Ms.Amy and I were talking (Ms.Amy is my brother's girlfriend, and she is cool) and I freely admit to having had a lil' red wine and Ms.Amy conned me into a triathalon at the end of September.
The running part I am not worried about: it requires no real special equipment and I've got myself to a solid 10 minute pace. However, tri-athalons mean there are two other things for me to do, and they include swimming and biking.
I haven't swam for speed in nearly 20 years, and I haven't been on a bike in as long. Plus, triathalons seem to be equipment-intense (you know... the bike? the special shorts? the nifty cap?) which has me eyeballing my budget (yet again!) and wondering what oh what have I done?

I have a cap tip for long hair. They now have one made of spandex, and it actually keeps your hair up. Doesn't prevent the chlorine from getting in the hair, but the rubber ones never did for me either. I got mine at Big 10 sports (or whatever they are called) out in Kirkland, but they have been around long enough, might even be down the work street at Gart.
If I had any guts I would join you.
