Another 30/30

It was freezing cold last night, yet this morning we had fog, rain and then it was like spring. I went for a run in the misty rain, figured I was already wet and went for a 30 minute swim.
I've decided to sign up for a quarter Iron Man. I'd love to do a half, but I'm not ready yet. I think a 1/4 is just the right step up. It's a .6 mile swim, 28 mile bike course and a 6.5 mile run. There's one in April in Galveston, the Lone Star Tri that features a sprint, a quarter and half Ironman. The swim is in Offat's Bayou at Moody Gardens, so although salty, should be cleaner than some of the local lakes.
