Golf Clubs are on the shelf; Road Bikes, Goggles and Running Sh
Sep 30, 2008
So my hobby of golfing, drinking soda and being lazy is now shelved. I have fallen in love over the past six weeks with swimming, biking and running. I have been training for a traithlon in April of 09 which is an Olympic triathlon (1 mile swim, 25 mile bike and 6.2 mile run).
I have signed up for a sprint triathlon for November 1st in Casa Grande, AZ which is a 400 meter swim, 10.2 mile bike and 3 mile run. I am swimming anywhere from 1600 meters to 2500 meters on a given day now and biking over 15 miles a day, so those two aren't the problem. I am only running two miles and I have only done swimming and biking back-to-back. So there is a lot of work to do to prepare.
I by no means intend to win this race but the goal to prepare and finish and create an environment focused on fitness is terrific. I may still be one of the biggest guys out there, but I guarantee I can dust most of these guys in the pool and on the bike and of course lag in the run. We'll see how it goes but it's all good stuff.
