Earlier this summer I signed up for the Jordanelle Triathlon and was a little surprised myself because I could almost run for 3 minutes with out stopping and I didn't have a bike. Fast forward 2+ months and I think I'm ready.
The perks of the triathlon are these:
#1 I haven't tired of anyone of the areas of training/competition.
#2 Training with Marisa (my running coach) and Amber (Michael Phelps in girl form) has been super enjoyable.
#3 Unbelievability.....let me explain. This past Saturday we hauled all the bikes to Jordanelle to do a trial clinic. The water wasn't too cold and the bike course, a dream, compared to biking in the city where cars are everywhere. After the three events, I thought in my head, "I-did-that-mmmm-wow-never-thought-I-would-be-able-to-and-I-did-unbelievable".
#4 This really isn't a perk long term, but I've been able to eat anything for the last two weeks! I have lost a total of about 2 ounces from all the training, but I bet I've got a boat load of muscle underneath my post pregnancy lumpiness.
I can't wait for Saturday!
