'Cause you've never done that before. If anyone can do it, it's you. If I had any interest at all in swimming the half IM kinda intrigues me.

ssssssshhhhh woman... i know NOTHING of what you are talking about!!! LOL
i'm starting to feel the drive to train again... after today's 5k it hit me very very hard...and you know i like big things to train for!
MTA: but honestly Z look at my log... since I re-started logging that's accurate... I mean that's not nearly enough! LOL no wonder why i'm "out of shape"... yes I get that i'm in better shape than some, but compared to where I was... it's not pretty.
that seems like a really long way away LOL. i'm thinking i can always sign up and then downgrade to the sprint right??? hahaha
you know me... i plan stupid stuff... we'll see... i'll give myself to the end of July to see how I progress. If I progress well then I'll do it! it'll be my last hurrah before heading into winter training... and yes i'll have a trainer and access to an indoor pool...
man.... i love a hilly bike ride in the hot sun!

did diamondman way back in 03 or 04. good race (not GREAT but good) pond swim usually wetsuit legal, rolling/flat ride in the delaware countryside one big hill is an 1 mile climb ona bridge over the river you hit it twice, the run was flat and hot the year i did it - it may be different now. don't recall the party afterwards but did get a nice pint glass out of the deal.
havent done bassman but heard it's a good race. also flat but heard the water can be COLD and windy.
FWIW if you like hills take a look at the quakerman half in bucks county same day as diamondman i think. lake swim, hilly bike and run. it is put on by genesis adventures I think

hmm.... so when thinking about my goals I've moved some things around.
I'm thinking
Aug 1 - sprint
Fall - olympic
Spring - Half IM
I don't want to just finish. I want to compete. In order to do that I need more time - given what my log looks like.
T-bone - i'm just building after months of struggles and life. But last year I ran 21 marathons. And it started on a whim very similar to this. That's why Zoomy is saying if I decided to do it I probably could.
so, this seems more realistic to me.
tomorrow i'm gonna do 30+ with a friend. I will probably not run after this one, but I do love me some bricks and going forward will attach them to longer bike rides!
