Naylor's anyone?

I realized yesterday afternoon, that June 30 was the last day to sign up for the Naylor's Beach Tri, (before the price bump!). So, I read the posts on the forum with info comparing Naylor's to Patriot. About the swim, (yucky water with current), the bike (Deanna B has to walk her bike up that one hill...WTF?), the run, (flat but sunny and HOT!).

So I start calling the girls. "Will you do Naylor's with me?" I got some maybe's, I got "It's too close to my MARATHON!" (Annn the overacheiver) and some no's. I went to the Monday U of R swim. Saw Team Leader Jonah and asked "Can I do Naylors?" In true Team Leader fashion, "Of course, you can!"

So after discussing it with the husband, I signed up last night. I have a new goal, and I'll have September to train with the kids in school, yeah!!! That means I'll have a schedule again! (Not get up whenever, go to bed whenever!) I'm excited.


Everyone knows how I feel about the open water, but I don't have an TG Olympic Pint glass, so I signed up, anyway!

Really? You have to call me out?

Why are you like that?

If I do not injure myself at C'ville, I will do this race with you.

BUT if I get injured at Naylors, you have to agree to carry me fast enough for me to make the MCM bridge cut-off.
