My First Triathlon

.

It was four years before I actually took the plunge, literally.  I chose the at Boulder Peak Olympic Distance Triathlon on July 10, 2011. Training I had the running and cycling pieces down, but like most triathletes, I was intimidated by the swim. It took me three years to mentally prepare myself to actually get in the pool and SWIM.

Ride Food :: Early Morning Workout Energy Bites

.
  After being unemployed for a few months, I recently started a new job. While I was not unemployed for long, I quickly adapted to the free time and flexible schedule—especially when it came to my workouts. With my triathlon training I try and fit in at least two swims, two bike rides, and two runs in a week, and that is in addition to yoga and strength training for injury prevention. Now that I am back to working a [...]
