Tri-dreamin’
Over the past month or two I’ve begun training for a triathlon.
Running is a passion of mine, but growing up I loved to bike.
I was hitting a wall with my running motivation. I was longing to get back to some of the other activities I loved growing up.
Triathlon is a natural fit.
Except that I don’t know how to swim :)
Well, I do know how, a little, but I’ve never received formal training. Fortunately my gym has a lap pool.
I’m having fun with the training. It’s a blast. Last weekend I volunteered at a triathlon so I could see what race mechanics were like. It was amazing.
Triathletes are a different crowd. Much more down-to-earth than most of the marathoners I know. Marathoners I’ve met are a little ego inflated. The tri crowd was quite down-to-earth.
