So, some of you followed me through the tumult of last year.
I'll compare last year to a fire that burned away old, dead growth. This year, new growth is coming in. I've started training for a triathlon again (last time I trained, I, well, nine months later there was a baby).
I'm really excited and feel really confident. This is the healthiest I've ever been. The past few years have toughened me up bit. This thing is going to be a piece of cake. Sort of.
Wildflower Olympic Distance triathlon is on May 1, 2011. It's a 1.5k (.93 mi) swim, 40k (24.8 mi.) bike, and 10k (6.2 mi.) run. Training for an event like this, especially when I haven't raced in a LONG time, will be both mentally and physically challenging. I've got two kids now. I'm trying to build a business based on fitness and health. I write (have you checked out http://www.fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com/ yet?). My time is more precious and there's less of it.
But I'm going to try. And I'm not trying to simply finish. I want to compete.
So, here's where I'm going to blab about how it's going. Follow if you're interested. Nice, motivational comments are ALWAYS welcome!

If your last training ended with a kid, you may need to get a new training partner. :)
ReplyDeleteWildflower was my first tri....back in 2006! I can't believe it's been 5 years! I need to get back with it too! Good luck with your training. :-)
