The Rumors are True

There has been a lot of noise on the radio frequencies about a possible new thing in my life and I am here to clarify the rumors. Pregnant....nope, addicted to pain meds....nah, too expensive, training for a triathlon....yep. The rumors are true and thanks to Truth they are flying like crazy. I was going to keep it hush hush, but when post something on the blog all of my millions of readers see and want to know everything.

This week was the first of training. My race isn't until September, but there are some brutally harsh details that I was not aware of before agreeing to do this with Truth. Like usual, she's convinced me to do this idiotic event just because she wanted to do one. Why can't I say no? So the running is the easiest part for me. With all of my experience that is the most fun about this whole thing. Here's what concerns me:

1) Swimming. I was on a swim team growing up, so I'm used to swimming and the equipment. But I'm used to swimming 50 or 100 yrds sprints and calling it quits. Now I have to go for 40 minutes or more. That's probably the most boring part about this all. Plus, I'll have to swim in ocean water and I will have to buy a wetsuit and will most likely be eaten by a shark while training.

2)Biking. Its also not very exciting and I need to get out on the trail, because the stationary thing is not cutting it for me. But I was able to finish 2 books this week due to some major time on a bike. I have a loaner from Stephy and the tire was already flat as I rode off. I need some help with that equipment. Also hills on a stationary bike are much different that real ones. I found a really long path along a freeway here that I will try next week. Hopefully it works out for me.

Well, that's really what I'm concerned with. 2 out of 3 ain't half bad. I do everything 3 times a week and rotated the days. I've already swam 2 days in the rain. I'm hardcore like that. Right now were are just trying to build endurance and get used to equipment. I have no time goal, I just want to finish happy and healthy. So if anyone has some pointers I would love the help. And if anyone wants to train with me that would be even better.
