Amanda (mytriathletewife's daughter) completed her first Olympic distance triathlon (1500m swim, 40k bike, 10k run)at DisneyWorld on September 21. The swim was held in Bay Lake, so it was a nice preview of what our 1/2 IM race in May 2009 will be like. Amanda said the water was kind of murky, it was impossible to see the bottom, and the morning was foggy, so sighting the buoys was difficult. I would have photos, but copyright protection on the official race photographer website made it impossible to grab some.

"Lord of the Rings" Aragorn: Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall. Pippin: What about breakfast? Aragorn: You've already had it. Pippin: We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast? [Aragorn turns and walks off in disgust] Merry: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip. Pippin: What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he? Merry: I wouldn't count on it. I eat breakfast at 6:30am, but really am more of a nineses, than elevenses. By 11:30 it's lunch time, 2-3pm a snack. If I'm cooking dinner I'm eating at the same time. Then dinner and maybe some cookies around 8pm. I could have been a Hobbit.

Jan, obviously intimidated by me entering the December 13 Tri at the Y in Penfield, has yet to send in her entry, while mine went in the mail today. Rumor has it LouIneversawapoolIdidntlike and Mikeijustrun may also enter the race. To the victor goes the spoils (wine or beer). Make mine Merlot. Thank you.
