I seem to have pretty good luck in this lottery. I've gotten drawn 3 out of 4 years.
They moved the race up from late June to early May. I figure I have three more weeks of training and then I have my hernia surgery on January 6. If I take it easy and pretty much write January off the list that leaves me with February, March, and April to train for that swim and then 1/2 IM Florida is 2 weeks after that on the 16th.
I think we're going to avoid a huge family trip this year up to SF even though we enjoyed it each time. I'll just zip up there for 2 days or so.
I really want to do this swim better. I've said that each time but if I don't train for this, well, SF bay is not something you do very well in if you aren't prepared. They say it's 1.5 miles but I don't really think it was that far but it is way, way, WAY tougher than the 2.4 IM swim.
