Triathlon

[figment]

It's official, I'm insane... I'm going to try to do a sprint-distance triathlon this July. It's the Philadelphia Women's Triathlon.

I'm probably going to create a triathlon filter here. That will probably include both obsessing about how many miles/yards/etc. I ran/swam/biked, how I felt, crap I bought to help with this endeavor, soreness, etc... and also its impact on my weight and appearance. I am curious what this level of athletic endeavor may do to me. Anyway, let me know if you want to be on the filter. Otherwise, I'll keep triathlon posts to a minimum on here.

Wish me luck!!

In honor of your impending insanity, I went out and ran for 30 minutes, then sat on an exercise bike for an hour, while Chelsea lost the Champions League final. A miserable day all around.

How wonderful! I'm totally supportive - from afar at least! So of course I want to be on your filter.

Cameron said that he got sick of me talking about Marathon training all the time, but when it was over, I always thought that he may have secretly missed it.

Go Beth Go!
Thinking of filters, maybe I should be more conscientious of my friend's list and filter some things out.
Then again, I am as lazy as your considerate.

and I would love to hear you whine about running.

Very cool. Not that you can tell based on my current 275lbs, but I did several triathlons in my late teens. As I was on swim team, and did competition cycling, it didn't seam like that much of a stretch to do a triathlon a couple times a year.

Sure, put me on it.

I think it is more like swimbikerun...

I always assumed that if you swam last you would drown. :)

I'd love to hear about this!

I'm an athletic supporter...

[katana-girl.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested.

Good luck (and I'd like to be privy to the filter)

Thanks so much! It's kind of you to give encouragement to a more-or-less stranger. I am excited to try and it's giving me motivation to exercise so I figure that's a good thing...! And wow, I'm impressed with the olympic distance.

Filter: on!

Hy-drate Hy-drate Hy-drate!

WWW.walkjogrun.com is a great website for measuring distance during training.
