June 17th (I think)
New Balance Half Ironman triathlon.
I told myself I wouldn't do a 1/2IM this year because it was too expensive, but it's hard to deny that a nice structured race is far superior to the idea of simply "doing your own 1/2IM on a Sunday." Aid stations are very nice, as is official timing. You can also compare yourself to the 549 other athletes out there in the field and see how you stack up (probably not too high, but I haven't been tested at a long course yet so who knows?).
In any case, I'm looking forward to it.
In related news, training is slowly starting to get back on track. I've been running and cycling with increasing frequency, which is nice, but swimming, um, never, which is not nice. Hopefully tomorrow I can drag my ass to the pool for 30 minutes and start getting back on that rather high horse.
(As an aside, it looks like I will soon be working for HSBC. Rob is confident that I will get in there, and soon. I don't doubt his good intentions, but I will wait until they actually offer me a position before I get too excited.)
