finish a triathlon

I’m feeling a little bit better about the running. A little bit. It really helps to pick inspiring places to run. But my joints give me trouble, so I sometimes just use the elliptical trainer. Anyway, I have mastered swimming 1/2 mile, running 3 miles, and biking 12 miles as INDIVIDUAL workouts. So now I’m working on combining them in pairs: duathlons. Wish me luck! ;)

I started training 2 weeks ago. I’ve never done a triathlon before, so I’d like to do a “Sprint” length: 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike ride, 3 mile run. I love long bike rides, and I’m a confident swimmer, but I’m really not good at running. I might have to walk-jog the last leg. I certainly won’t be breaking any speed records, but my goal is just to finish the course! :-)
