Well I haven't posted in awhile, but I am happy to say that I have been diligent in my training for another sprint triathlon. Tri-Indy was yesterday and even though I'm not thrilled with my results, I am thrilled to have completed another one. Each one motivates me to work harder, and obtain my optimum fitness. I have to admit that I had struggles with training over the summer. With all the things I had going on, I felt like I was just fitting in workouts wherever I could. Don't get me wrong, I still worked out every day, with very few exceptions. I just didn't have the same passion as before. Completing yesterday's triathlon has spurred me on again, and I am already looking forward to training for whatever is next. I've got my eye on an adventure race in Columbus in September. It involves trail running, trail biking, canoeing, orienteering, and lots of other surprises. It looks challenging but lots of fun too. It is a team sport, with teams of 2 or 3. Thank goodness because I proved my inabilities at orienteering yesterday when I couldn't even find my transition station after the bike. I wandered around for a couple of minutes just trying to figure out where to put my bike. :) Okay...not my strength. Next triathlon, I'll be putting a big smiley face balloon at my station. I finished in 1 hour and 50 minutes. The swim took 15 minutes ( and yes...the canal was pretty nasty, but I'd do it again!) , the bike was 48:31, and I took 40 minutes on the run. I had 6 minutes of transition time. It was wonderful to have Jane and Holly in the competition also. They did awesome!!! Thanks girls for joining me. I don't think I would have done this one if you hadn't decided to. So glad I did. And we had some incredible cheerleaders there again this time too. Thanks Guys...it really does help more than you can imagine. Until next time...God Bless!
