Bucket List

So something on my bucket list of things I want to do is a triathlon.  I've always wanted to do one.  However, I've never been a strong swimmer so I always thought it was out.  Well, you know we've been swimming to cross-train for our marathon.  I am feeling better and better about my swimming so it is on like donkey kong!!  My first triathlon is going to be February 24.  Because of the cold weather, the events are in reverse.  We will actually swim last.

Let's talk about these events....

I am obviously confident in my ability to run 3.1 miles. 

I feel confident in the bike.  It's 12 miles.  Doable.  My only issue here is my bike.  People that really do triathlons get serious road bikes.  I have a Huffy.  I kid but really my bike is just a bike that I ride around with my family.  I have no plans on buying a new bike any time soon though so the Huffy will have to do.

I am becoming a better swimmer.  It's 400 yards.  Again, doable.  I am slow but slow and steady wins the race, right?

This is completely out of my comfort zone.  I am excited.  I will do it and it will be great!  I am excited!!  I'll keep you posted!!
