do a triathlon

Today I swam 600 metres again, stopping for breath only at 300 metres, and that was not strictly necessary. I am starting to get comfortable with swimming; I think that ‘playing’ while swimming pool lengths is a good indication of this.

I need to start thinking about cycling on a real bicycle.

Today I swam 600 metres in the pool. I did rest every 200 metres, but I’ll work on that. The main thing is that I swam the distance I will need to swim in the triathlon, and it’s becoming easier. I still have no open-water experience.

One of the best things I’ve ever done for myself!!! I finished and thought “wow, if I just did that… what else can I do?!!!”

It was an incredible experience and anyone can do it if they set their mind to it!

too busy. too lazy.

it happens =p

One of the most amazing experiences of my life!

Get training and do it!

i’m planning on running one in about three months. =]

So, there’s the Des Moines triathlon that I’ve been training for a bit, but haven’t fully committed.

Thankfully, I’ve had a change of heart and I’m going through with it. Full speed ahead!

and then we’ll talk

since moving to the tropics I can now swim every day. I’ve heard this is often the weak point of most tri athletes… well it’s definitely mine anyway. I’ve been at it about a month now, I can definitely see progress.

Just to make it clear that I’m no Ironman candidate, here’s a link to the kind of thing I’m interested in.

It will not be this year, though.
