Third Training Starts Soon!


Who'd have thunk? I would have! That is to say part of me is amazed that I'm actually doing triathlons, and the other part of me says, "Of course!" At right, that's me finishing my second triathlon May 30, 2006 at the See Jane Tri, a fun womans-only race. I was having a blast!

I have yet to sign up with the See Jane Tri Training but will soon. The race will be April 29, 2007 in Sacramento, the Sacramento International Triathlon.

I've been walking and jogging on a regular basis for at least six weeks, and even did some swimming before the time change. I've also picked back up my stretching, and isometric exercise routine. Biking is not happening though. I'd like to get a trainer so I can work on my bike legs indoors. I also plan to change my tires to something a little thinner than the mountain bike tires I have, but not as thin as road bike tires. A fellow Jane told me there's a happy medium there. So I guess I have to take care of that too soon.

Because training starts Tuesday, Feb. 6!


Get:
new shoes
new bike tires
a proper wetsuit that fits! used is fine
Gu
Protein Bars
bike glasses (I lost the frames at the last race. )

Whew! My hobby/passion is expensive. But this passion is for my life, my fitness, my joy. And worth it. Because I'm worth it.
