About a year ago, just after I passed my final 40-something birthday, I put out a challenge to myself.


My
plan was to do this on one of the days over a long weekend near my
birthday, which just happens to be next Thursday. I've been watching the
weather forecasts, and while that particular day looks decent, it's
only one day in the middle of a week-long
cloudy-with-a-high-chance-of-deluge. And this IS the Pacific Northwest,
which usually means that the one nice day will crap out nicely when it
arrives.

I like it.
So
yesterday my wife suggested that I do the long tri day on Friday. Well
now... Since I already have the day off work due to a flexed schedule, I
figured, why not?
This
isn't a race, or even a fast training day. It'll be a long haul*. Stops
for food are okay. I'm sure there will be at least one.
Or at least long enough to wake up for the party on Saturday.
* Note: I haven't trained for any long distances for swim or run. This should be interesting.
