should I do a triathlon?

Dear readers

I use the plural because I know that I have at two readers. So dear gentle readers, in the unabashed plural, should I do an olympic-distance triathlon in about a month's time? I ask because I have to register. But it seems like such a commitment and I'm not sure about the whole running thing, not to mention the swimming thing and the biking thing. I don't even have a bike. Nor proper running shoes for that matter.

But I have been going to the gym. And doing the occasional bout of swimming (in one of New York City's public swimming pools, perhaps the subject of another blog entry).

Oh I don't know.
