Throwing myself into the deep end

Thu Jan 24, 2008, 11:05 AM
Have you asked yourself if you should do something for the pure hell of it?

Well, I just signed up for a triathlon. And I don't even know how to swim.

It's going to be a sprint- so somewhat manageable for couch potatoes like myself.

800 meters swim in open water
12 miles of bicycling
3 miles of running


Training will start in February and the triathlon will be sometime in August.

What did I get myself into??

It's going to be tough, but once you do it, you will feel incredible from achieving such a huge goal!! I'm cheering for ya!!

I'm going to start running in March once the weather gets a little bit warmer. I'd do it now, but I my asthma get flared up real bad in the cold. But I may end up doing a local 5K race late this summer if I am doing well enough!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks. Jen! I need all the support I can get... and a tremendous amount of learning, training, conditioning, you name it! :D

I hope you're going to be in the best shape so you could run that 5K! Good luck!

I agree! Well, for the ones who really understand what it takes to swim, they probably think I'm just nuts.

Thanks for your support! :hug:

You go girl! When you're dying of the ouchies, just think of how fabulous your body will look :nod:
Wish they had something like that here... how'd you find out about it?

Thanks! Toning my body is one of the reasons why I'm doing this. My husband also wants to work out with me, so that'll be fun.

I found out about this through a friend. It's a club for novice women athletes or for women who want a challenge and have fun. I'm all for the fun... :D
