Regular 82  Washington |  Subject: Doing a tri this summer...Hi everyone, I've been lurking for months. I'm an uncoordinated nonathlete that's going to do a sprint tri this summer. I've enjoyed reading your posts and encouragement and decided to declare myself! Wow, that sounds like a commitment. I enjoy running. I'm slow but have endurance. I can swim .5 mi. in the pool, but seem to get lost in open water. I lose all sense of direction and since I'm near sighted, it makes for some problems. I enjoy biking on flat trails with no traffic. I hate going downhill, really hate it. Lots of fear. And going uphill is still a challenge. I'm getting used to the gears on my bike very slowly. There are 24, which is maybe 23 too many! I know I have it in me to do this. I'm really impressed with your accomplishments. I look forward to getting to know you better. Mary |

Do you have a training schedule - I did pick out my race but the actual schedule is another story - life seems to get in the way..I really need to write one down and actually stick to it. I am glad to see that you have decided to try a race this summer. Keep us updated on your progress and good luck. |
