Up and running now!

Hey everyone!

We had our first running practice bright and early Saturday morning. It was a bit tougher than the first swim practice. It was interesting because so many people make fun of me when I run because I bounce like a bunny rabbit...but...its actually much closer to proper form than most people think! so there! haha.

It was a good practice. We ran a little over 3 miles, nothing too intense. Its a lot of fun pushing yourself within the group. So....so far so good.

I did a 25 mile bike ride on my own today...it was so windy, and a lot of the beach path was covered with sand, but it was a good work out. Hopefully I will sleep well tonight..

Next team practice is on Thursday...back in the pool!

One Down...lots to go!

Had our first practice today. Went pretty well. There was definitely others that were way more out of breath than I was, So it seems like my running and biking for the past couple months has payed off. I still have a long way to go to be able to handle this crazy triathlon, but I feel encouraged after tonight. Plus, I got an awesome bright green swimming cap!

This picture only shows about a third of the team, it was pretty big. We'll see how many last! Hopefully everyone!


Next practice is Saturday morning for a nice run along the beach...

till then..

First Post!

Hey Everyone, I've decided to beat myself up for a good cause!

I'm gonna post here often to update my progress over the next 5 months. This is something I thought I would never do in my life, but its time for new things and to think about things bigger than myself. I'm excited about being part of this team! Stay tuned for progress reports and if i'm surviving the training!

Thanks for the support!
