one year ago

One year ago, I spotted a flier for last year's Alcon Tri for Sight at the YMCA. The race had taken place earlier that day. I had always been impressed watching the Ironman on TV, but I had never heard of sprint distance triathlons. As I looked at the race distances, I thought to myself "That doesn't sound so hard..." .  In any case, I realized I had found the challenge I had been looking for to get back into shape. More times than I care to admit, I had ended up out of breath after running to make connections in the airport.  When I first started training, I found it difficult to run more than 1 mile with out walking. This summer, I did my first sprint tri, a 5k run, a 10k run, and now this - my target race. I am totally hooked. Thanks to all you great folks on BT for your support and advice.
