First Sprint Triathlon is Coming Soon!

I have been trying to keep up with 2 blogs (actually 3), and it isn't working very well. But, I wanted to update this blog.

I was supposed to be running a half marathon 2 weeks from today, but that fell through about a week ago. Instead, I will now be participating in my first sprint triathlon on that date! Yes, in just 2 weeks, I will be a TRIATHLETE!

I had about 3 weeks (due to travel to Japan, illness, and lack of desire) recently when I wasn't working out much. Last week, though, I totally got back on track. I had an amazing week!

And, just a few days ago, I signed up for this triathlon! I am so excited! And, since this one has a pool swim, I'm not as nervous as I am for my May triathlon.

I had an amazing 1st brick workout today. (I've done a few at the gym, but none outside.) I rode 11.5 miles in 55 minutes. The pace wasn't great, but it was really hilly. And, I LOVED it! I felt like I was flying! I went up to 20 mph, and it was amazing. I then ran 2 miles. My time was about 23 minutes, which is FAST for me. It is my fastest 2 miles ever, I think! Amazing!

So, I'm so excited to be facing my first triathlon!
