Well, I'm doing the OLY distance at Pleasant Prairie

Attention all you midwest people who said" yeah,you can do Olympic distance!". I emailed the race director and he switched me from Sprint to Olympic.
My goal for the race is to finish- that's it. I will use this as a base for my races next year (which I plan on doing more oly distances). Also, I'm hoping to train more with you long distance pros like CindyK and MarkK.
Thanks for your positive attitude and I'll be the one dragging myself across the finish line after everyone's gone to Chipotle (or wherever) for their post race dinner.
