I laughed at myself on the bike, I was useless. I doubt I'll ever do another one, but only because I hate cycling and I've no idea what possessed me to do it in the first place.

This was my one (& only) experience so far: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/blog-view.php?id=29850#blog287848 I have entered a second in November. I think this time I will do what others did and bring a plastic box to keep my shoes dry when they are waiting in the transition area.
