do you tri?

That is, do you do triathlons? Well I haven't, but I'm going to. I've signed up for the Danskin sprint distance triathlon which happens in Seattle during August. This means I've really got to get my butt in gear and start training. I chose to be part of the mixed age group, which shouldn't be quite so competitive, but you still get an individual race time. However, I know that sometimes the competition is really what makes me motivated, so I guess I'll just have to see how I feel when I do it. Part of me wants to do it in as little time as I can, and the other part of me wants to just do it so I finish it.

Who am I kidding, I've never done something just to finish it. I'll be racing myself that day, I'm sure. Go Lizzy!

Good for you!! What a good way to motivate yourself to get in better shape. I'm sure Jodi will give you a few tips for your training.

Thanks dad, I'm looking forward to it...now I just need to go buy some goggles for swimming (and maybe a proper swimsuit --one-piece) ;-)
