Random thoughts...

I need to get to the pool. I haven't been in the water in over 2 weeks... The race is only 70 days away now.

I have also been looking at the costs for becoming a triathlete as well as continuing on with the sport long term. Bikes are expensive. They can run from a few bucks at a garage sale to thousands if you go all out. If you intend on swimming, a wetsuit can easily run $200 plus and running shoes can also go for a cool $100 plus. So don't be surprised... If you want to do this long haul, take your time accumulating your gear. My plan is to wait and buy as I can afford some better quality entry level stuff instead of just grabbing at anything I find that "may" fit the bill. I have been looking at the bikes on bikesdirect.com and they seem to have some great prices... I always suggest research, research, research... Also, with this type of gear I am big on "try before you buy" as comfort will make or break you.
