I got the most animated I’d been all evening when I started talking about swimming. My friend and I both knew Pete Thomas, one of the Biggest Loser contestants, in college. I mentioned that I follow him on twitter, and she told me that he just completed a triathlon.

She looked at me and asked me if I wanted to do a triathlon. My eyes lit up and I started talking faster. We talked about being ready, and I said I wasn’t sure my freestyle was up to doing a triathlon yet. Not to mention my running. She said I could do the swimming and the biking, and she could do the running. I didn’t act like it, but I was thinking about it.

Maybe I should move from dreaming to planning on this thing. It’s not like I haven’t been asked to split a triathlon before. . .
