Upping the Ante

Well, shit just got crazy around here. I ended up signing up for a Sprint Triathlon on Saturday, the day before my half ironman on Sunday. And you know what? I am stoked.

So here's what went down: I was at the pool for an easy afternoon swim. One of Dan's co-workers mentions she's also going to Lubbock this weekend to race, and she's doing the Red Raider Sprint Triathlon (500m swim, 18 mile bike, 3.1 mile run) on SATURDAY. HOLD UP. In the past, this tri has been the same day as the half-ironman on Sunday; this year they moved it up a day. It's Saturday. Half Ironman on Sunday.

CUE ME SIGNING UP. My logic: perfect tune up for Sunday. Not everyone shares my enthusiasm. 

I'm doing both races because I want to. Best decision? Maybe not. But epic challenge? Yes. Cheer for me or don't. I may do great, I may fall on my face. But, I'm ready to rock. Life is short. Do Epic Shit.
