A year ago today, I found out about my Kona Lottery Slot

One year ago I found out about my Kona Lottery Slot by ABC 7 News here in the DC area.
It was Friday, April 13. Friday, the 13th. Very lucky for me as it turns out.
The Ironman was exactly six months later on Oct. 13.
13 is now one of my lucky numbers

Every single thing I did for those six months was about the race. One year has come and gone, but it seems like a few months, maybe.

I decided not to sign up for the lottery this year and probably won't again. Training for and completing Kona was simply the most amazing experience of my life and while I would love to do it again, I want others like me who love triathlon to have that opportunity in the future.

It's April! It's Spring! And it's raining with a chance of sleet.

What the eff? My road bike is still on the trainer, so that is where I will be this weekend. Or at least until Sunday. Global Warming isn't always about the Earth getting hotter.
It's about drastic departures from normal weather, which can be colder or warmer, drier or wetter.
Oh well. Again, if the water is colder than 60 degrees at the Lake Anna Half on April 19, I am not going in, even if it means a DQ (I will do the bike and run though :)
