Thanks, everyone, for your unbelievably supportive comments and (probably ill-placed) confidence in me to do my first Tri. I've had some great suggestions, too, many of which I have taken.3. make out a will ~ that zinger compliments of my arch nemesis ~ I better work on this one.
4. hire someone to do it for you ~ Jess, that is not totally out of the question yet! :D
5. My guess is that you will not regret this ~ Neese, I sure hope you are right.

You can so do it!
Yes, it IS going to be fun!!!!!
ROFL... Piece of cake. You are going to be a fine triathlete :-) I just knows it :-D
Nancy, it is going to be fine! I wish I could come and do it with you!
you can hire me if it comes with accomodations and a few meals...I'm easy, I know.
You don't need to hire anyone, though, you'll do great.
You know Oprah! WOW! :)
Very impressive weekend. You are going to do great.
How did you get oprah to run, I thought she totally quit? Seriously though, I love running to Oprah it's usually entertaining enough to forget I'm on the mill.
We are always more capable than we give ourselves credit for. You'll do great. Now, don't go getting your pant leg caught in the bike chain.
Actually I find bricks to be a great way to break up a long run that I don't feel like "long running." Some call it cheating, but I call it a "much needed break" sometimes :-).
You're going to rock that tri!!!!
And if it's not fun, well it's one more notch in your I'm-a-toughie-super-athlete record book. (&& look at those runs you've been getting in! Very decent!).
You can DOOO it! I love working out with Oprah, she's a great exercise parnter :)
Well of course you can do it!!!
Just remember to breathe...
N.
LMAO a treadmill date with Oprah is always nice! You SOOOOO CAN DO THIS Nancy! ;D ;D ;D And it WILL be fun!
Are you kidding me? you'll rock the snot out of the tri! Best of luck!
you are going to DO IT, LOVE IT and come back an ADDICT!!! :)
You will be looking for the NEXT event before you know it.
YOU GO GIRL!
TRI is the beginning of Triumph!!!
corny, but true......you're going to be fine, grab that paper bag and GO!
You got the popular vote! So I am sure you'll do it.
Awsome on gettting those bricks done and most importantly signing up!! When is the big day???
I wish I could do it with ya too :-D
You are going to do great! I am so excited for you!!
PS suhweet workouts. I think the only time I could do a TM workout with Oprah is if she had Dr. Oz as a guest. I crunch on the guy :)
You.can.do.it!
It.will.be.fun.
:-)
Oh Nancy, now I wanna do one too! You're gonna be awesome!
I wish I could come do it with you too, too bad I can't swim, or ride a bike lol You better take care of this one girl! ;)
You can SOOOOO do this! and you will love the sense of accomplishment with multi-sport aftewards! You will be a triathlete... :-)
Good job on the brick!! That's really the biggest hurdle (IMO) of a tri.
you can do this Nancy, go with it and have fun.
Yes, Nancy. You're going to have so much fun. Way to go on your weekend training!
You are totally going to rock the tri! I'm intrigued by doing a "brick". I normally run first and then try the bike. Next time I'll have to do it opposite. That must be strange.
Hey, your miles are looking good! Saw your last two runs and noticed you were either pacing it the same or improving your time mile over mile. Nice job!
I love your Rock Band workouts. Those are my favorite too.
I know you can do it!! What else is there if we don't have goals? Nice job on the workouts despite the fact that Oprah was mentioned. :-)
Hi Nancy
If anybody can pull it off, I know you can. That being said, I have to remind you that you were a runner first and always will be. Biking and swimming are fine (if you are into that sort of thing;-) but running is a whole lot cooler. How you say?? I'll give you a couple of examples...
First, can you swim with headphones?? Is there a Boston Swimathon that has been held since 1897??
Second, the world's most famous biker (Lance Iamstrong) has given up the bike.. for what?? running of course!
I honestly could go on and on.. which proves that running is much cooler than swimming or biking... combined.
LOL ...well YES YOUUUUUU can do it!!
I am still trying to get this running thing down :-)
It's fun...but be forwarned, can be addicting.
Have a blast!!
