Asalzwed - 2012-07-20 9:57 AM I have this comped entry to a triathlon on Sunday. My finger is hovering over the registration. I have only been swimming once and my bike rides are uhhhh, limited.....

Press the button.  I have no doubt you bike like you run and swim--fast. 

How do you keep getting comp entries to races?

What's the worst that happens, you DNF and didn't waste your money on it?? What's the swim distance - you were rocking those 100s the other day, you can certainly do a spring distance swim.  And anyone who can run 26.2 can ride their bike for a few miles! And, obviously, the run is a non-issue.

It's just a sprint...a half mile swim. 12 mile bike.

Sooo ... I'm back from my first swim session with the blond German piglet. It was really just to feel each other out, see where he's at with his swimming, get a workout in, including some breaststroke, some backstroke ... but I digress.

So of course I nearly made him puke ... from the SWIMMING! the SWIMMING!

I mighta been a bit direct with my first words to him: "Dude. What is all that sh&%+?! You're scaring me. Throw that away." He was doing his warmup with a snorkel and fins ... and just planing flat as a board across the water.

We did have a really nice breakfast after.

I think I'm going to post his stats and videos as progress here. He's an interesting case ... we need to get him from where he is right now to (triathlon swimming) world-class times in ... 9 months. He qualified for 70.3 Worlds on a laughable swim (for that level) and smokin' bike and run times and got very lucky with a roll-down that went 20 places deep. That's not going to happen when he tries to qualify for Kona ... to be certain of a spot, he's going to have train to win his age group (thus likely putting him in the top 3).

Hum...so, you stuck around for breakfast eh? You don't really seem like the type. Wink

I can just imagine the "Dude. What is all that sh&%+?! You're scaring me. Throw that away." comment. Hahahaha!

Good lord you just ran a 3:23 marathon, you can knock out a little sprint!  Just take it easy in the water, spin your way through the 12 miles and stomp flower gardens/knock down rainbows in the run!

Knock down rainbows in the run. Can't say I have ever heard that one. I like it!

Don't set your expectations too high. I only just yesterday was able to walk without a hobble-limp.
