I signed up for a Half Ironman today. NBD.
(I wish…)
I don’t even know what I’ve gotten myself into! BJ and I did it this morning – 510 dollars ($255/each) later we are going to die signed up for EAGLEMAN.
Later in the day, I went to lunch with two girls I work with, who are also triathletes. Too embarrassed to mention my unlikely-cause-of-sudden-death-at-26, our lunch went a little something like this:
Trigirl1: EAGLEMAN registration opened today. I wonder if I should do it (???).
Trigirl2: It’s a flat course, but the bike can be really windy (30+ mph) and the run can be really hot (not shaded).
MP: (in my head) Great…!!!
Trigirl1: I wonder if it’s expensive (??)… Do you think it’s already sold out (??)… [more questions I can’t remember because I’m trying to remember why I signed up in the first place…]
MP: (gulp) I signed up today….
So…I just stopped having “sign-up” anxiety, like, 5 minutes ago – but now I’m really excited and want to tell everyone! Blog World: I’m doing a Half Ironman. That’s right: 70.3!!

Good job! I had registration anxiety for the first 2 weeks after I signed up for my half iron in november. it's a serious undertaking.
Good for you just going for it!!! You'll rock it!
I found your blog through 5 miles 2 empty! Just read a few of your posts and was so excited to read about your recent tri! I am doing my first in Sept. and am so excited. Also I love the Hebrew verse you have. My friend and I memorized that for my 1st half marathon this last June…such a great one to focus on when your running…or anything really. Look forward to reading more of your posts!
Oh and Congrats on signing up for the 1/2 Ironman. I love watching them on TV and I totally getting emotional watching them cross the finish line! So amazing what they can do. I have often wondered if I could ever do it…not sure but its great to dream. Good luck with all your training.
