"Aging is an Endurance Sport... I'm just trying to keep up!"
I am training for my first Olympic-distance triathlon: 1 mile swim; 25 mile bike; 6 mile run. This crazy adventure is a fundraiser to honor the endurance and courage of the seniors I work with at the Sno-Valley Senior Center.

Training Matters

Just got back from my 2nd triathlon, this one in Chelan. It was very different then my first, which was really all about the new experience. This one I had something to compare it to, wanted to increase my speed, improve my record, generally do better. Too bad I hadn't put in the time to do so! It ended up being an experience of not having trained enough. I'll post a race report later, and hopefully figure out how to post some pics, but suffice to say it was a real wake-up call for the kind of training I'll need to do to successfully complete the Olympic-distance triathlon in September!
