I must be a glutton for punishment, but I need accountability and promised my BFF that I would do the TriGirl super-sprint triathlon on Mother’s Day. Super-sprint doesn’t mean that you have to go super-fast; rather, it means that the race is super-short: 200-yd swim, 8-mi bike, 2-mi run/walk.

I rode 6mi on the bike at the Y tonight till my tush went numb, so that’s a good start! One lap around our neighborhood streets is about a mile, so I told the boys that when it gets a little warmer, then we can “train” together on our bikes.

I need to get back in the pool & see if 200 yds is still as “easy” as it used to be. I’m cautiously optimistic that it won’t be difficult, but I also know that I won’t be setting any new North Spring Swim Team records again, either. 😉  I’m seriously considering prescription goggles, but I need to do some pricing research first.

As for the final 2 miles, I may crawl; we’ll just have to see! I have never enjoyed running, and although my knee feels much better, I am admittedly afraid of re-injuring it. I’m building up endurance on the treadmill & elliptical machine, but I will not feel bad for walking the whole route, if need be.

Well, there you have it. I’ve talked about it publicly, so now I’m committed to doing it! 🙂
