triathlon?

I took Noah to the park today, and noticed that there was some kind of class going on. After about 5 minutes, I crept a little closer to the event and thought it sounded like a "triathlons for dummies" sort of thing. Since I had passed signs on the club ride this morning warning of race traffic on 5/6, I called Rob to find out if there was a triathlon in the Woodlands next Saturday. Hey--there is!

So, feeling only a little bit guilty, I listened in on the first-timers clinic for about 10 minutes. Not long enough for me to feel like I should have paid the registration fee, but long enough to make me want to do this triathlon. I bet I can be ready for it by next year, if I start working on the swimming and running next winter.

Later on, I had an opportunity to talk to one of the clinic coaches (they needed the little wall I was sitting on for the other swim clinic at 2:30), and asked when the event had sold out this year. March 27th. So, I just have to remember this in February so I can register before it sells out.

That sounds like great fun! If I could swim, I'd enjoy a triathlon- well, if I was in shape too ;) I enjoy biking and running- it's the water that would (literally) kill me!

yeah, me too. My current swim endurance is about 100 yards. And I'm not so good at the running either, at the moment.

But the good thing about this event is that I have about a year to get ready for it. :)
