the book I picked up is awesome. I have a full schedule laid out from now till the tri and then I can do it again if i like. Its nice because you can adjust it by how much time you have available.

I got standard goggles. I picked them up at target for like $12. I am using my mountain bike right now and might use that for the march race, but I plan on building a road bike as soon as I can get together some money. We should register for the march race soon. I might do it today actually.

Jon - get to the pool and try it out.. do it 2 or three times a week and see if you feel comfortable with it. if not then there is no point in drowning. It is the sickest workout I have ever felt which is why it is so awesome and why all those olympic swimmer guys are so jacked.

Mike - start that other blog. That would be pretty sweet. Also, quite the kick turn. you not going to be kick turning in the middle of the bay. you might be able to kick turn jon away from you so he doesnt pull you under but other than that, the only thing to worry about is getting kicked in the face. Its all fun and games till someone gets kicked in the eye, starts bleeding, and attracts the sharks. FEEDING FRENZY!!
