New plan, new title

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!
