Woman of Steel

Since I have moved up to Logan, I have been doing well at going to the gym. I have found that I really enjoy it. Then, this past weekend when I was home my sister in law mentioned that she had signed up for a Triathlon. With almost no hesitation I was signed up within the next hour. It was definitely a spur of the moment decision, but now I'm signed up so I have got to do it. The Woman of Steel is May 21 in American Fork.

it consists of:

a 300 Meter pool swim

12 mile bike

and

3 mile run

I thought I was going to struggle with the bike part the most, but as I began to start a little bit of training I found that the swim with WITHOUT A DOUBT but the most challenging. My roommate Amy was a swimmer all through high school, so this past week we woke up at the crack of dawn to go for a swim! I am improving each day. I just need to work on more technique and endurance.

I am so proud of myself. For some people this may sound like cake, but for me it will be such a great accomplishment. This is such a great time for me to try something like this. I have all the equipment I need to train for it. I am so excited for it for so many reasons!

1. It is giving me something to focus on

2. I have always thought of doing something like this but never had the opportunity

3. Gilly is doing it with me

4. It is giving me a goal to work for

5. I think it will help my self confidence

6. It's helping me live a better balanced life

7. It's making me try new things

8. It pushes me

9. It's giving me something to be proud of

10. And... it will hopefully give me a hott summer bod :)

For now I am hoping to just finish, but hopefully as the date approaches I will want to be a real competitor.
