time to tri

i began a new quest this week: training for my first triathlon. and my first half-ironman. thought i'd kill 2 birds with 1 stone. i will be training with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program to complete the Gulf Coast Half Iron in Panama City next May (my 5th event with them in as many years). they promise me i'll learn this whole swimming thing. gosh i hope so.
