As usual I signed up for something without training thinking that since it is a Super Sprint it was going to be easy... Well, nothing is easy without training and I say that because I tried a swim/bike yesterday with one of my new friends. We did a 1/4 mile swim and a 12 mile ride.
The swim was hard, I always think I'm in shape because I'm running and now cycling, come to find out that swimming is just a whole different animal. This is not new to me but some how I find myself surprised every time. Not only I was tired but right before getting in the water my friend Sharon was kind enough to let me know that 2 weeks ago they found an alligator in the lake... can I say freaked out?
Then we jogged to the car and got on our bikes, not only was this the first time of me riding on regular rodes with motorized vehicles but I had no idea that the course was so hilly. The result you might ask? this workout kicked my butt BIG TIME!
Now I am freaking out about Sunday, not only I have no idea what to expect as it's my 1st triathlon but I KNOW that it won't be easy. On top of it there is very limited info about this event online which I am a bit disappointed about, and then NO MEDALS! Really? Yes! NO MEDALS! Arghhh!
Oh well... Today I am going to get together with the local tri club and look into starting training with a group that will train for the Augusta GA 70.3 - Yes, I am having a moment of insanity but I'm going to embrace it! So we shall see how this goes, I read it's a hilly course on the bike portion of the race but I have 3 months to train, right? If I do register for this I will be doing the Chicago Olympic Triathlon, if registration is still open, I haven't checked yet.
Well, that's it for now... I will be posting pics on Sunday of the Super Sprint so stay tuned =)
