I saw the end of a real honest to goodness triathlon today, from the first person participant point of view... I was not real fast, but I did see the end...

I'm looking forward to seeing the birth of my son in about 8 weeks. Well, it's going to be a ceasarian, so I really don't want to watch, but I'll be there...

I'm tired, I'll have to update this thread later...
