Just a few hours after I posted my last entry, I had someone come to my house for a Freecycle pickup. This guy wanted the DirecTV dish that came with my house when I bought it - and which I've never used - and had come to deinstall it and take it home. He noticed the 26.2 and Tri stickers on the back of my car and asked me what races I'd done. Turns out his wife is an endurance athlete too, and has done a bunch of tris and marathons but in the last few years has gotten in to ultra marathons. She now regularly does 50- and 100-milers. (Side note - I am in AWE of people who do ultras.) We started talking about why she's chosen running over tris. Number one reason? Too much gear involved in biking. I'm pretty sure she and I would be friends if we ever met! :)
