a new challenge for me

so, i've signed up for a SPRINT triathlon. the key word there is "sprint" - which for real athletes mean they go really fast the whole time, but for me it means it's shorter distances so maybe i can actually finish it. it's next sunday, sept 30. one of the ladies i run with encouraged me to do it. one of the ladies i vacationed with helped me feel comfortable with the whole "transition" part of a triathlon. and another lady i run with loaned me her bike so i don't have to ride Pat's mountain bike. i wouldn't be doing this without all these wonderful women around me!i'm excited. i'll be nervous. but it'll be a new challenge for me. i just want to finish it.

it's a 300 yard swim, 18 miles bike and 2 mile run. i'll let you know how it goes!

I know you will do great! I can't wait to be at the finish line to cheer you on! Thanks for the ride this morning.

You can DO it!! I've been wondering how the biking part was going - and the transitions I would think would be the BIGGEST part!! Sounds like you are well on your way - I wish I could be there!!!
