An awesome friend of mine is doing the Chicago Triathlon this year. He seems to think this is something I should try. There's a Sprint Triathlon that I could quite possibly do.
A Sprint Triathlon is (in this order):
- Less than a half-mile swim in Lake Michigan
- 13.64 mile bike ride
- 3.1 (5K) run
I'm thinking about it, but a little nervous. I think a triathlon might be insane and I'm a dab worried that I'm not a hardcore athlete like that. Any advice, friends?

You can do it! You're more of an athlete than you realize- look whatall you've accomplished so far!
Considering you had lifeguard training the entire week leading up to the 10-miler and did a 15-mile-plus bike ride that same week, I don't think you'd have much trouble with the sprint. Or the Olympic distance, for that matter.
Isn't Lake Michigan really cold?
