Triathlon Fun







Okay all, I am planning on doing a Triatlon this summer and am super excited. Now, before you get all impressed let me tell you about it. I am going to initially do an all womens sprint tri. Consisting of a 300 meter swim, a 10 mile bike, and a 5K. A cake walk for your marathoners but think of doing it all back to back. Anyway, I figure this is a good start and then I can go on to bigger and better from there, or shall I say longer and harder? Anyway, a couple of reasons for posting this, 1) I become more committed when other people know and 2) I thought I would see if there was other interest out that. You know have a kind of blog support group. If enough of you want to do it, how fun would it be to have a blog dedicated to triathlon, or any other event of choice, training, stories and suggestions. Like how we pee a little when we run after having babies, or how how lap swimming is a foriegn concept, etc. Not to mention how awesome it would be to all compete in the same event or even just post pictures of our successes. Finishing is a success. What do you think? Are you in? I think it is a great way to get in shape, stay in shape, compete and feel great about ourselves. Just think what your kids will tell their friends. "Yeah that's right, my mom's a triathlete!"
