Subject: I'm Tri-ing to reach 30! Hello!
My name is Julie, from Hampton, NH, and the title of this posts says "I'm Tri-ing to reach 30"...that's 30 years of age. I decided on January 1, 2004 my New Year's Resolution (which many fail to keep more than a month ) was going to be to complete a Triathalon before I turn 30. So that gives me until September 18th! And I'm on my way. (hopefully this training will help me not only accomplish this goal, but help me LOOSE 30 lbs before I'm 30 too!! )
I completed my first 5k today, to give myself a baseline of where I am now. I plan to continue to participate in 5ks (one a month until the tri date...AUG 1 ) to gague my progress (and replace some ratty T-Shirts in my drawer too ).
I've tried running in the past, and have gotten bored with it. I've tried swimming in the past, and gotten bored with it...so I'm hoping that having 3 sports to train with at the same time will keep things mixed up enough that I won't get bored with this too. I've also done this training on my own and that's probably part of my problem.
Any suggestions on how to find someone local who might be willing to train a couple times a month just to keep me on my toes? I can't seem to find a tri-club in the NH or Northern MA/Greater Boston area. Am I not looking in the right places?
