do a triathlon

Today, I did my first ever competitive athletic event! I completed a 5K! =D

I did way better than I thought I would, I finished in 42 minutes. I was expecting 55-60 based on trial runs on the treadmill.

Next up: triathlon training! :) 4 months until the big day!

I’m registering for the 5K race in this year’s Marathon to kickstart this goal. After that, I am planning on registering for the September 13, 2009 Lincoln City Sprint Triathlon.

Time to get moving on this goal! :)

almost killed me. I got painfully winded within 2 minutes (granted, I was going up a 40 degree hill, as that’s all thats by my house). I am embarassed that I was so easily tired! I totally must get better. I look forward to improving my stamina and completeing this goal!

I’m going for my first swim tomorrow at O. Should be awesome.

I really, really want to start training for this. I have a book I want off of Amazon to help. Uhm, I don’t have a bike or access to a pool though. I guess I could start running!

I saw the Iron Man on tv in 2003, and knew that I wanted to do something like that myself one day. I absolutely hate running, so that part will be a challenge to train for. I need to find a pool to swim at, too. And get a bike. Hahaha, I’m not very prepared for this one. But I’d love to do one.
