compete in a triathlon

I’m not taking this off my list, but this is one of those Things that is like “I want to read every book in a public library”. That is not possible, well, not unless you find an extraordinarily small public library . . . and they only have children’s books. (That was a goal of mine many, many years ago.) Anyway, I’m going to keep it as a goal because I think that aiming at competing (although I may change it to “complete a triathlon”, sounds well, scarier and yet more realistic at the same time.

Yeah, yeah, I know that people do compete and win triathlon all the time. However, I need to be realistic about my age and abilities. This is not a realistic goal for me.

I’ve wanted to do this for about twenty years, but I’ve made no real headway working to actually being able to do it. Well, I did for awhile, but then I slacked off – considerably. Time to get moving or be realistic and just realize I’m never going to do it. I’m getting to be an age where completing a triathlon would be ridiculous, but I’m not there yet. Not there yet – applies to so many things. Time to start GOING on the good things.
