Subject: Change of Sport Hi all!
I am, you guessed it, a first time (beginner ) triathlete!! I am competing in my first triathlon in September and I am excited and freaked out all at the same time!
I am a former athlete turned non-athlete due to a career ending injury. I have spent the last several years having surgeries and building my leg muscles back up. Its been a journey to say the least. I completed a Half marathon last year but due to the bad knee, I was barely allowed to do that and will not be allowed to do another (doctor,who happens to be my father-in-law, and husbands orders ).
I have wanted to do a tri for a few years now but always had a reason to back out. But not this year!!!! I'm determined to do it and complete it!
I am also a new mom to a sibling set of 3 foster kids who we are in the process of adopting. We are hoping to sign them up for a kid tri in Feb!! How can I expect them to do one when I cant get through one?!?! So there is the motivation and here I am!!
Grateful to be here!
