I am resting on the couch this afternoon feeling the effects of an amazing week of workouts. I exceeded all of my training goals this week. I was able to swim 500 yds for the 1st time; I ran 3 different times and actually did 1.5 miles on Saturday after a 6 mile bike ride.
One thing about doing a triathlon is that it is a great ice breaker or conversation starter. I spent time this past week talking with a number of people that are either doing their 1st or have done a number of triathlons and it is great to have that connection. It is something that not everyone can understand, but is definitely is something that I will never forget.
Yesterday afternoon as I was limping around when I had someone ask me why I was doing a triathlon. That is a good question. All I know is that I remember watching the “Wild Word of Sports” when they would air the Iron Man Triathlon and wondering what that would be like? It has been a thought that has never left. When I found out that there were such things as Sprint Triathlons and I needed another goal for this year, I found myself saying why not.
As I tell everyone, I am not old, just more experienced.
