Two months today I will be competing in my very first duthlon - Keystone Warrior Memorial Triathlon/Duathlon. I'm still very excited about it and still anticipate coming in last. LOL! I'm ok with that. Doing multiple sports in one race? Yea, that's just asking for last, but it's aaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllll good. Seriously. I'm not being negative here at all. I'm being realistic and if I come in last, I am totally ok with that. :-) The fact that I am doing something totally different is the true first place.
The bike training is going well. Really, really well. I'm still excited and having a great time with the bike. Maybe it has to do with continually getting faster on each training run, but whatever. It's fun to get out on the bike and move. I'm so much faster on the bike than I am running. Seriously. In the time it took me to ride 5 miles yesterday (28:31), I would have only run 2 miles. I <3 the bike!
I've got myself a training schedule all set in my planner and so far it's working well. Needing to punt a tad this weekend, as I'll be visiting my very first college roommie and her family in NJ, but I'm accounting for it, so it's all good. :-) Good training, good planning, and visiting a good friend? Life doesn't get much better.
You have a great perspective! As long as you keep your commitment, you've won!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you will not be kicking my ass out of bed on Sunday morning to go running.....then again, maybe you should! LOL! And thanks for the shout out! Looking forward to our visit!
ReplyDelete@Valiant - Yup. I have no doubt I will be towards the back of the pack, last even. And that's ok. I'm going to do my best and be happy I crossed the finish line. :-)
ReplyDelete@Well...I could kick your ass out of bed. ;-) We could go for a walk or some such. Heehee! Looking forward to seeing you too! It's been too long.
