What have I done? I haven't swam in open water; haven't swam in a wetsuit yet; haven't practiced transitions and I'm doing a triathlon in 21 days! Yikes! 1K Swim/40K Bike Ride/8K Run! I guess I'm taking the plunge head first! Somebody! PLEASE talk me out of this madness! :-)

i admire your guts, you should do alright, sounds like you might have a good base in the other disciplines.  Hope the tri goes well,  Let us know how it went on your race report.

LOL!!! I did the same thing! Only my tri is only a 1/2 mile swim, 15 mile bike and 3 mile trail run. I still bit off more than I can chew but at least I won't barf "it" all back up, I think I can handle it... hopefully! I've had 2 kids in 3 years and feel out of whack. I'm going to do this and complete it if it kills me. I'll probably crawl over the finish. I have a swimming background so that portion doesn't scare me... it's the running! Good luck!

Talking people out of things is not what we do on this list. Sorry. We just provide bucketloads of encouragement. Go for it!!!
