Ok, so it's been a minute but believe me, I'VE BEEN BUUUUSSSSYYYY! Training is going great. We, Tri It For Lifers, actually practiced swimming the ENTIRE 250M at the Aquatics center, we've begun practicing the race route and learning to do transitions from one sport to the next.....AND IT WAS GREAT!!!!
I'm totally having a blast with this experience! Maybe Jeff & I can work up to running the IRONMAN together! AWESOME!
In other news I just received my new and TOTALLY cutsie RoadID Slim.....in purple. I thought I'd only wear it when training or during the event, but BOY! she is too cute to not wear all the time.
I LOVE IT! Everything a person would need to identify me, alert my contacts, know medical info, and read the best motivational line ever! HOO-YAH! LET'S GET IT!
Tomorrow is another day of training! Bad storm out today, but I got my run in @ 0500 and hope to swim @ 1600 (gotta get my freestyle under control----IT CAN'T DEFEAT ME!).
I hope you all enjoy following along. feel free to share my story and journey with your friends and family. Let them know that they are loved and they can do anything...no matter what age, size, or sex! I train with some of the BEST women I've ever met in my entire life. Without the motivation of my family (especially Jeff and my boys) and the constant push and encouragement from the mentors of Tri It For Life, I would not be where I am today.
Think of it this way.....I've got a comparison
BEFORE TRI IT FOR LIFE SINCE TRI IT FOR LIFE
Walk a 5K in an hour Run 3.1 miles in 45min
No bike ride since age 13 Bike 8miles w/o stops
in 1 hour
Could "survive" in Swim 450m(18 laps w/stops)
the water in just over 1.5hrs
HOW AMAZING IS THAT?! SO! If I can make these kinds of accomplishments by saying I'll try and commit to doing just that, ANYBODY can!
I'm super stoked that the mock tri is the end of this month! It'll let us see exactly where we are and what we need to work on.
