What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

As you may or may not know, I have decided to do an Ironman Triathlon with Team In Training's Ironteam. Last month while in Canada with Allen, I found myself so incredibly inspired by this amazing group of people that I decided that I wanted to join them and attempt to complete Ironman Canada in 2008. Nevermind the fact that I don't know how to swim, have never traveled more than 25 miles on a road bike, or the fact that I physically cannot run. Somehow I have decided that this is a good idea. I'm about a month into my swimming lessons (those who have seen me in the water are probably laughing at the mental picture), but I really do feel like I'm making progress. Last Saturday, I had to work in Woodside and one of my co-workers was kind enough to hop on her trainer and spin with me. Although I am not one who loves to work out, I really am looking forward to being a part of a team. We have our big "Kick-Off" celebration on Saturday morning and I am starting to get nervous. There's no turning back now...
