Triathlon...What Have I Done?

Not having anything competitive to do for so long has me a bit antsy. After talking to Flynn and Travis about a triathlon they are doing in July, I thought, "Sure, why the hell not?" Afterall, Travis and I have about the same fitness so it should be challenging, but not impossible, right?

Forget the Iron Man Triathlon in Hawaii you see on TV every year. I will be doing a sprint tri, which has very short distances as compared to that Iron Man shit.

Swim - 750 meters
Bike - 17 miles
Run - 5 kilometers

Sounds pretty simple? The bike part I have on lockdown, the running part will be tolerable, but the swimming will be the hardest part. Plus it's in the Schuylkill River - gross.

Jesus Christ. Let the training begin.
