Triathlon?? Yes I did say triathlon. On June 29 I will be competing in my first triathlon. Now for most people think of the iron man race that we see on TV which consists of 2.5 mile swim,112 mile bike ride, than a simple 26 mile run. Yes I am certified crazy but I am not doing an iron man, I am doing a sprint triathlon. This race consists of 1/4 mile swim,13. mile bike than a 5k run. This is very doable for me. Triathlon for me has been a life long dream to accomplish and I see it as being very achievable. I like the word tri it gives a sense of trying. The one thing that I noticed is that I don;t see myself getting bored with this. I am always working hard to improve in 3 disciplines of tri swim bike run. When I started this quest I weighed 120kg or 264lbs. I am currently 110kg or 242 lbs. So I have lost 22lbs and I feel great and people are noticing the loss. I know that there will be people out there to deter me or to take emotional jabs but I just say " if your going to talk the talk than you better walk the walk and put out or shut up". that is the most frustrating thing for me, people can knock you but they never want join you. All I know is this, when i cross the finish line even if I am last. I will be able to say I did a triathlon. until next post I out.
