Complete a triathalon

I was getting a little lazy right before I went on vacation; I just need a break from everything, exercise too I guess.

Now I’m back home and back in the gym. I still have 2 months to train if I’m to hit a September triathalon. Today I biked 5 miles, but it was a split of 3 miles and then 2 miles later. I have quite a ways to go to be able to ride 15 miles straight…

Over the last year and a half I’ve gone from couch potato to a health and fitness maniac. Finding out I had diabetes probably was the big catalyst for this.

Now a year and a half in I’ve decided I want to go to the “next level”. Right now in my mind this means completing a triathlon.

Rather than just plunging in I did a little basic research. I am planning to do a “Sprint triathlon” consisting of a 500 yard swim, 15 mile bike ride, and a 3.1 mile run. There are several occurring in this area in August and September and this should give me plenty of time to train.
