Escape From Alcatraz!

A couple of months ago I entered the lottery for the Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon. I was sort of hoping I would get picked and I was sort of hoping I would not get picked. Well, I got picked. I have until the end of the month to sign up. I guess I will, but I am still somewhat ambivilant. I keep telling myself, "this is going to be really hard." And then I answer myself, "you do this because it is hard!" And of course I am right. (See the post above.) It will be a great experience and an Ironman would never say no to this challenge. Okay, I'll do it! Better start doing more training in the cold ocean.
