Apes in a TRI??

While on a beach trip recently I stopped in Richmond to spend some time with one of my FAV people ever…Beaz! We got to talking and we decided we are going to do a sprint triathlon! Woah….a TRIATHLON you may ask?!?! Yes, I will be doing one. Time to incorporate my biking and running into one race (and adding some swimming).

The race we are doing will be the Naylor’s Beach Sprint Tri in Warsaw on Sept. 26^th. It is a 500meter swim (in open water), 24k bike, and 5k run. Now a normal tri is WAY longer (think half marathon run). This will be a good start to see if I like it, and I’m SUPER stoked since I get to do it with Beaz!

That means…I need to start swimming. UGH, as slow as I am running, I am WAY worse at swimming…I think the last time I actually got in a pool to swim was during summer swimming lessons back in elementary school so I’m thinking this won't go so well....this should be QUITE interesting. I really wanna kick some major butt…but that means I’ve gotta get training like LAST MONTH!

So I guess I’d better get to it….
