I am up to absolutely no good...sorry dad...

My curiosity got the best of me last week when an old friend offered me a free race entry for tomorrow's upcoming triathlon at Fall Creek Falls.  Curious why?  Because I want to see how well or rather, how bad I will do in a triathlon.  I have run only a few times in the last year due to my horrible knees that I was given to walk this earth.  I guess it doesn't help that I had three knee surgeries before the ripe age of seventeen.  But, after having the Quatum Touch Therapy, I decided to see how well it just really works.  What is six miles anyways right?  Sorry Dad if you are reading this.  I really do value your judgement on me not running, and I don't.....very much...or, I should say I rarely do run.  At least I don't run like Sissy...all the time...she did 12 miles today for crying out loud.  I guess I just want to do something new....I mean old.  Something I use to do.  It is hard to believe that I started doing tri's a little over ten years ago.  I started when there was a lull in the sport.  I think it was popular in the eighties, then not so popular in the nineties.   I don't know.  All I know is that the several weeks ago, Smap and I volunteered at a small sprint race and there was a TON of people trying the sport out.  

So, tomorrow morning I will be tested.  I don't even have aero bars on my bike!!!!  Should be very interesting and hopefully fun.
