Well, I decided to just sell my spot. Now I'm trying to decide, will I be able to recover in time for a september triathalon. The Sandman Tri is here at the beach, so it's local, which would allow my family and friends to come cheer me on if they so choose. I am a pretty strong swimmer, but wondering if I would do the swim (1 kilometer with the current 50 yards from the shore) then the bike ride (15 miles) then the run (5k). I don't have a pool, so that's also a problem. How can I train for that portion. If I do find one I will probably have to swim with weights on make each lap more difficult. I also have a mountain bike, not a speed bike. So will that be ok?
Now obviously I wouldn't be trying for an award or anything. The baby is due in the middle of February. That gives me 6 months (after 1 month of recovery before starting to get out there) to prepare myself just to complete it. Now I just need to find a pool, or join the YMCA but that's quite expensive.
