Coming out of the water of my first sprint triathlon. I was 7th overall on the swim.
My story is no different than many others. I started triathlons almost by accident. I got in shape by swimming and running on the treadmill. I soon became bored, but met some friends at the pool who were into triathlon. I joined them to watch a race one day and was hooked. In the spring of 2007 I started training in earnest. I completed two triathlons and a duathlon that year along with several 5Ks and a 10K.
I haven’t raced since then. Injury forced me out of the 2008 racing season and life happened which prevented me from racing in 2009 and 2010. That changes this year. I’ll chronicle my training and races here, sharing tips of what I experience along the way.
