It’s GO Time!

Happy Monday!  It’s been a while since I’ve done a Fitness/Training post, so here ya go!

What I’m training for
Soak up the Sun
Training Process:
Continuing the C210K App (on race day, I’ll be at a 5K)
Swim 3-4 times per week (with 1 training session next weekend)
Bike to and from work, long rides on the weekends
20 Days to go!
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon
Training Process:
Finish C210K App, end of June
July & August – Toning
August through November – Half Training plan
185 Days to go!

I have wanted to do a triathlon for 3 years now and every year I come up with the following excuses: not enough time, not enough  money, I’ll just wait until next year.  When I found out about the Soak up the Sun Triathlon, those same thoughts ran through my head.  I know I want to do a triathlon, but I’m terrified of doing one.  I haven’t swam in almost a year now and I just learned how to do so about 2-3 years ago.  I found out about this triathlon exactly 25 days before the actual race and came up with a few thousand excuses until I realized that I wasn’t “living life to the fullest” like I wanted too.  So here I am… training for my very first triathlon!  Luckily, it’s a short one (sprint, as they call it)… 200m swim, 8m bike, 2m run.

Did a practice run 5/5/13 – 1:17:37
This included changing out of my swimsuit, drying off, changing into running clothes, cleaning off my bike equipment and walking a little through the run.  Doing this run through made me feel a lot more confident in my abilities and pumped me up for the race!

What are you training for right now?  Have you ever signed up for a race last minute that you didn’t feel prepared for?  For any of you veteran triathletes out there: Have any advice for me?

    Impressive! I need to finish C25K, but I’m actually enjoying running which is something I never thought I would say!

    I’ve never done a triathlon before… or a marathon. Your fitness is putting me to shame, haha… the only marathon I’ve done recently was a House Hunter marathon on HGTV last night. I need to get my butt off the couch!

    You need to live closer so I can train with you, I need a buddy to help motivate me 🙂
