Subject: I don't like to bike, run or swim, so of course I've signed up for a tri Yes. I'm another newbie in this world. Almost at the tender age of 40, I've ended up finding myself uninspired and unmotivated by the various fitness options out there - and I've done a fair amount of them. I finally realized that what was missing was a goal. Something to work towards. Something not easy. A triathlon.
Why did I sign up in the first place? Well, my husband started competing in olympic triathlons this summer and, while there's no way in hell I can make it that far, I got so inspired seeing and talking to the sprint people that I took the plunge.
So, I find myself on my second week of training. I hate getting up early, but the looming sprint in July gets me up and going - I'm fully aware that I'll be sc***** if I don't train. And I don't want to run in 90 degree weather. That's just not fun.
The crazy thing is, despite my usual distaste for swimming, biking and running, I'm actually enjoying this!
