Finding Motivation

Okay ladies, time to start training!

Well at least for me it is. It has come to the point of now or never, so today I not only put my gym bag in the car but I actually went and swam 14 lengths of the pool on my lunch break. (That's 350 yards in case anyone is counting!?) For those that don't know, the new training goal is to do the Trek Women's Triathlon at Fort Wilderness in September. It's the same distances and the same course we did last May, just a different company running it at a different time of year.

The good and the bad part of doing another triathlon is that I now know how much...or how little I actually need to train. I think I've been holding on a bit too hard to the how little side of things. And I do have to admit it felt pretty good to be in shape at this time last year. With the spring and summer coming fast that means opportunities for outdoor running and bike riding instead of being stuck inside at the gym.

Not sure if this little spiel is helping my fellow triathletes, but it's helped me a little bit to find some enthusiasm. Consider me the triathlon motivational speaker. If you're looking for me, I'll be in my van, down by the river.
