GASP! Is the race really three weeks away?
Ok, I just had a little dose of reality... In three weeks and 5 days, we'll be in Monterey doing the triathlon. I don't know about you Determinator and Redhots... but I'm freaking out! Can this be true? Are we ready for this? I haven't even found a place to get my wetsuit yet, let alone try to swim in open water. How are you guys dealing with this?!
We should start a checklist... to get organize what we still need to do before the race. Could we make it virtual? Any ideas?

Kelp Crawl
so... after our discussion last friday, i thought i'd look up "kelp crawl". according to a couple websites... kelp crawl refers to a specific type of swimming to get yourself out of the kelp.
