OMG What have I done? Found out on Sunday that M-dot is putting on an inaugural 70.3 in Vietnam (in Danang on May 10) and decided I just had to be a part of the fun. Whatever possessed them to choose that date? It's probably the hottest month of the year, but just close enough to rainy season that there's always the chance of the odd tropical storm or just a torrential downpour. Most likely a pretty turbulent swim (though at least Danang area should have fairly warm water) and sizzling ride and run--sizzling as in pushing the triple digits, if not getting into them. Wish me luck--I get to train for it during the hottest time of year in Saigon. Think I need to practice my "stick head in ice bucket" technique for the aid stations.

I thought of all the times I didn’t attempt something I wanted to do because I was too afraid of trying something new or of failing completely.

It was the morning of Ironman Newfoundland 70.3, I felt queasy. I didn't want to eat or drink anything. I had a full blown case of the pre-race HEEBEE GEEBEES.
