Olympic Distance

Ready or not, I've decided I'm going to do an Olympic triathlon. It's REALLY FAR to swim nearly a mile across Jordanelle Reservoir, bike 26.2 miles on mountain roads and then run a 10K all in quick succession. I'm determined to do it though. I've still got a lot of training to do, so wish me luck!
