because 1 ridiculous goal is not enough...

for some reason i signed myself up for a triathlon.


it's June 26th.  


i bought a new bike last summer and wanted to make sure i put a decent amount of miles on it this season.  hence an outrageous goal of doing a triathlon (sprint distance at least).  


but uhm, one MINOR issue...i can't swim.  I mean i've spent years at the beach and i'm wicked good at 'not-drowning' and playing in the waves, but as far as swimming for real,  i can't do it.  so i'm training.  but i'm nervous.  plus i have to swim in a river that's basically one step above a sewage treatment plant.  awesome.  any advice? send it my way please!


right now i'm wearing these puppies for running training.  these along with my bike shoes are the exception to the 30/30 challenge "no shoe duplication" rules...because owning 30 running sneakers is just way too fancy for me!
