Subject: Going to Du it in 2015 Hi, everyone-
I joined about a month ago when I started toying around with the thought of giving a duathlon a try. I was searching for new motivation to get off the couch and get fit, because wishing I had my old fitness level and body composition back just wasn't turning out to be enough motivation for me.
My husband just surprised me with an early Christmas present - two race registrations for 2015. They are both sprint length races, but that is good enough for me! I am already nervous - even though the first is not until June - but really looking forward to the feeling of accomplishment I know they will bring. The first is 1.5/10/3.1 miles and the second is 2/19.5/3.3 miles so both short but the second, in September, a little bit harder. I ride a cyclocross bike so I am not expecting to win any medals!
Since the beginning of November I have lost over 10 pounds while working on my running and biking (I am up to running over 3 miles without walking and riding 30 ) and now I am looking at some other events and races (5k, etc ) to give me things to look forward to and get used to the competition atmosphere.
I will be on here a lot more as I work toward my goals and I look forward to learning from all of you!
