I have changed the name of my blog, for now. Not sure what I want to name it. I should come up with something a bit more catchy, but for now I will leave it as is.
There are some things I'd like to change about what happened in New Hampshire. One thing is more training. The next thing is a better plan! & finally a better bike. I have a road bike & I know it's not properly fitted to me. I know that it's not super fast & I don't feel that confident on it either. I'm not looking to get into a $5,000 Cervelo, although if someone was to buy me one or if it fell off the back of the truck, I certainly wouldn't turn it down, but I am sure that's not going to happen.
For now, I have to just deal with the disappointment of not finishing & be happy that I even got as far as I did. Easier said than done. I know that if I come back next year, or move on to another 70.3, I will be successful. It was a big learning experience.
I do still have my sights set on Alcatraz. I am wondering how difficult it will be to actually get a lottery spot. I believe the lottery opens in December, so I am going to keep my eyes open for that to happen. If I do get in, I'm going to have to focus on the swim. 1.5 miles in the San Francisco Bay is probably like 3 miles anywhere else. I will have to seriously figure out a swim plan. Maybe I should consult with people in the know! Now all I have to do is figure out who those people are! Kidding. I know I can ask a few friends who have done it for some advice.
On to the next adventure. Trying to escape! From the Rock!!! Stay tuned peeps!
