What have I done? I haven't swam in open water; haven't swam in a wetsuit yet; haven't practiced transitions and I'm doing a triathlon in 21 days! Yikes! 1K Swim/40K Bike Ride/8K Run! I guess I'm taking the plunge head first! Somebody! PLEASE talk me out of this madness! :-)

LOL!!!

I did the same thing! Only my tri is only a 1/2 mile swim, 15 mile bike and 3 mile trail run. I still bit off more than I can chew but at least I won't barf "it" all back up, I think I can handle it... hopefully! I've had 2 kids in 3 years and feel out of whack. I'm going to do this and complete it if it kills me. I'll probably crawl over the finish. I have a swimming background so that portion doesn't scare me... it's the running! Good luck!
