For the entire month of July I have been working and training for the Danskin Triathlon Sprint Distance on August 19th. What a ride! I can say that I have dashed with some amazing women up and down sandy hills, darted up and down paved hills, ridden my mountain bike (not race appropriate, ahem) up and down hills, swum across Greenlake many times, frolicked in the water of Lake Washington with the milfoil, and watched many amazing moments of my fellow teammates overcoming fears and making goals. It’s been wonderful!
As for me, I made several goals of running 3.1 miles during a weekly run with Born To Run. I also can swim farther than I thought I could – despite the fights with my bratty self in my head. You know who I’m talking about. The voice that says, “I don’t wanna!!! Just take a short cut. No one will know!” or the timeless “Waaahhhhh!” Yeah, I especially like that one. I have become stronger mentally and physically.
BRING IT!
