Semi retired from the tri's after 20 or so years of trying and I'm attempting to break into a road racing team although I'm a little short of any fast twitch pace.
I've also found the increasing expense of tri entrance fees difficult to justify.
I remember reading a post by Donna about fitting your whole life in a U haul. We did and towed the second car behind on a dolly. Our new house has a xen emptiness to it compared to the mountain of crap at our Naples house.
Everything in the house is used and useful in someway. Any additions to the house are carefully scrutinized for value before we get them - you'll love it.

: over the past few years. Glad you are
: taking your new challenges head on. It is
: exciting to make big changes. We only live
: once, right? I often wish I could live to
: 500 just to be able to experience all that

: I do miss some friends and the white sandy

: Better break out the granny ring though Rob,
