I have some friends in my neighborhood that just completed a Sprint Triathlon. They worked super hard for it and on the big day, they asked me to photograph it. When they were finished, they said they would never, ever do it again. That it was awful.
Well, they lied. They are doing another one in July and have convinced Eric and I to do it with them. I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking of the big day. My hands start sweating and I feel out of breath for a second.
I am not so much concerned for the swimming or the bike. I can swim forever and ever. It's my favorite thing to do and I try to do it at least three or four times a week. I know I can do the bike, it won't be easy, but I know I can do it. I can handle a spin class with the only issue being a sore booty. As long as I train well for the bike, I will be fine.
It's the run. I can't run. I HATE to run. HATE it more than life itself. I try to love it. I went through a little spurt a few months back where I was running with the goal to get better and start to love it. I ended up quitting because I just hate it so much. I can't do it. I can run a mile, but I am DYING at the end of that mile.
So, I know I really need to focus on that part of my training. I think I'm going to join some Tri training message boards and get some advice on how to train for the run.
Anyone in other states want to train with me and do a Tri in their area? Anyone?
