Whatchu talkin bout Cowboy Jeff?


So I get this text from Cowboy Jeff yesterday titled, "maybe...?" What was it about you ask? Oh, just a 70.3 Ironman (half ironman-1.2 mile swim, 13.1 run, and the rest on the bike) going down in Galveston in a week or so. I think CJ is getting a little over confident after his 3rd place bike finish at the Dansby. Never the less...I'm tempted. I could handle the bike and the run...the swim is pretty darn scary for me. 

So, I spent the better part of Sunday night trying to figure out if I should consider a half ironman in the next year. I then calculated how many laps in our pool I'd have to swim to finish 1.2 miles...the answer...212 or 106 "there and back" laps. The conclusion, I'd need to get some serious swimming lessons unless I can wear one of the boys Spiderman arm floaties during the race.
