Welcome to my Tri blog


Welcome everyone to my blog! Starting tomororw- Nov 1st, I am going to start training to become a triathlete! I am going to use this journal to discuss workouts, trials, tribulations along the way! My goal is to do a half Ironman next fall, but ultimately I dream of completing an entire Ironman! But baby steps, baby steps. I need to start with a few sprint and olympic distances races first.

I completed my first marathon this past May in Cleveland with a time of 4:42, which was not very good for me! I had lots of stomach problems from mile 8 on and it was just a really rough race. I am doing my next marathon in May in Cincinnati and I hope it goes a LOT better! I've done about 7 half marathons. So, I've got the running part down! I completed the MS 150 bike ride this summer, as well as a few 75 mile bike rides. So, I have the biking part down as well! But I can't really swim, so that's going to be the hard part here - plus I hate to wear a bathing suit!!!!!! LOL! But watch me tri! I think I can do this and look forward to the months ahead of me as I mold myself from a runner to a triathlete!

Hi. Followed your link from the CTC message board. Welcome to the world of triathlon. I just finished up my first tri season, had a blast, got healthier, and met some great folks through the club and at the races. I look forward to following your transition into the sport.

Don't worry, the swimming will come around (after a few laps in the pool :-)

Cheers,
Brandon
