...The Super Sprint!...

I've decided to do a triathlon.... Katelyn just did one and honestly I was so proud of her and the fact that she just trained hard for a month and was able to do just as well as her in-laws who had been training for months.... Also I'm impressed by the fact that she had never done anything like it before and had never ran, swam, or biked as far as she had to for this... with all that said, I am doing it! I found a triathlon on a Saturday (almost impossible!) in Cleremont and I'm trying to convince my dad to do it with me... its a "super sprint"... sounds intense huh? well between you and me, its the easiest one you can do... I wanted to do what they call a Sprint, which is swim 750 meters, bike 12.4 miles, and then run 3.1 miles or a 5k... well I couldn't find one close to home on a Saturday, so I'm settling for the Super Sprint which is swim 400 meters, bike 6.2 miles, and then run 1.5 miles.... I know it sounds kind of lame, but I'm excited and it will help me prepare to do more in the future... until then, I'll probably run a couple of 5k's until then, like The Turkey Trot in Southwood and maybe one around Christmas.... I'm excited! wish me luck... who knows I might be the next Ironman/woman!
