SWIM-BIKE-RUN

....that's a triathlon....for those of us not inclined to die swimming 2 miles, riding 100 miles and then running a marathon, there are mini triathlons....little bitty events so folks like me can say they have done all 3.

Sooooooooo.....I signed up for one....in July....in WA where my niece lives. She did it last year and survived....not just the event but the swim down the Columbia's freezing cold waters! Now that I am swimming 3x a week I think I can attempt a mini...so today I got up and before it got too hot and rode my work bike to the park and ran the local 5K route. I did that twice last month and I think I can do it after riding 12 miles....(although I only rode 4.4 to get there...mostly downhill) but I will have to work up to swimming before that bike. Next weekend I will run the 10K route barring rain. Dudes and Girlfriends...that's the event in July...it's a rather layed back event...here's the link if you want to check it out:

....you can stand up on the bottom of the river during the swim but you can't advance forward using the bottom...it's pretty funny in the description. ...now to help Daughter #1 wash and wax her car...and enjoy the sun!
