More Musings from a Wanna-be Triathlete
18 Feb
I’ve talked myself into it again – overcoming my fear of swimming in the open water. I’m going to try to do my first sprint-distance triathlon (a goal I had last year), but the first matter to take care of is the swimming lessons at the Y. And yes, hopefully they cater to the timid type. I am not as bad as I used to be, obviously if I was able to swim two Ironman distances last month, but that was over a course of am month in a training pool that did didn’t even get to 6 feet. So, you must see my dilemma. After I finish the swimming lessons, I’ll gauge my ability to survive in the open water (ha) and then go from there. In the meantime, I’ve registered for one 5k in April, and want to run the same 5k I ran in March of 2009 (my first one.) Maybe I will be ready this spring? Or perhaps it won’t be until the late summer/fall. Either way, I’ve re-opened this goal. (Oh, and I need to save for a bike – that’s rather important.)
