Day 24: Running on the Longest & Hottest Day of the Year-I can do a triathlon!
Our 6:30 am BRT at the track was early enough to not feel the full effects of the first day of summer. Many of my teammates ran in the Gold Coast Triathlon on Sunday, Father's Day, and this morning I asked about the particulars. I thought this was beyond my capabilities and then I changed my mind.
The swim was about a 1/2 mile, the run was 3 miles (5K), and the bike route was 11.5 miles. Everyone on my team finished and placed. A few weeks ago, I could not even imagine taking this on. I only wanted to do the training and not necessarily race. Now I realize that this is a race I will be able to do if I kick up my training a bit more.
What a long way I have come in such a short time. The seasons change and so do I. I will do a triathlon and it will be fun! Woohoo!
