Swimming, Biking and Running Oh No!

Spring is getting sprung tonight, people are coming out of hibernation and things are getting crazy in the Beehive. From the girl that is the Queen of Mediocrity who won't even run a 5K race with her husband, I impulsively signed up for a mini-triathlon last night.

After running 3 miles yesterday, I met Holly at her local rec center after dinner to swim. I did 15 laps which apparently is roughly 750 meters. I'm no fish, not a strong swimmer by any means, but I've been warming up to the idea of doing a mini-triathlon. After swimming, I half-heartedly suggested we sign up for a Triathlon that I had heard about, and the seed was planted.

Holly called when I got home, and at her urging we signed up online for The Little Foot Triathlon. It is in Morrison, CO near Red Rocks and consists of a 750 meter swim, 15 mile bike ride, and 5K run. ::Gulp:: AND we only have 8 weeks to train. ::nail shards flying everywhere::

I've paid the money, rented the wetsuit, and now I am telling all of you so that I will follow through and not bail. Not that I'm a bailer, buy gaaaa. In my "oh no what have I done?" rationale, I am looking forward to training as a way to shed some of my winter flab. For the next 8 weeks I will have to work out 6 days a week, alternating running, biking, and swimming. I'm going to pull my bike out of the gararge tomorrow, dust it off, put some air in the tires and take it for a spin. Wish me luck.
