Swim-Bike-Run

I started training today.

I am participating in a Triathalon in Raleigh at the end of April, not sure the exact dates, but I'll get back with them soon, I promise.

Anyways, the back story on this is that I have been telling myself for a few months now that I would love to do one, and I ran into a friend last week who is starting to train for one. Well, one thing led to another, and before I know it, I had volunteered to do it with her. Oops. I almost died today, on just a little 2 mile run. T minus like 3 months to get into sick nasty shape and do the dang thing.

And since I have committed to it, and I'm running it alongside an ex-cross country runner, I'm gonna be kicking the crap out of myself to do well. I get randomly competitive about some stuff, and I could see this being one of them. Hopefully I don't make a fool out of myself...

I'll post up any progress I have, mostly just to keep myself accountable. I'm actually pretty excited about it, a triathalon really appeals to me for some reason. Well, off to go be productive! Much work to do that I should have done last week!

I don't care where you are, water in April is cold. That's like significantly before memorial day.
