Cinco Ranch Here I Come!

With T-minus nineteen weeks and counting until the Cinco Ranch Triathlon, I boldly proclaim to bloggerville that I am going to be a triathlete!!! Today I begin training for my very first triathlon. It will be on September 30th at Cinco Ranch and I am pretty excited! It is a 600 meter swim, 15 mile bike, and 3 mile run.

So far triathlon prep has proven to be quite expensive. I bought new running shoes from Fleet Feet (they look at your feet and tell you which shoes will be the best for you), I am in the process of picking out a cheap (relatively) road bike that can get me through training and the triathlon, I purchased new goggles and still have to buy a new Speedo. But all of it will be used to kick my butt into shape before September 30th. :)

A few of my friends are doing the triathlon with me and I am trying to convince more. :) You should do it with us.... You know you want to!!! ;)

I will keep you all posted on my training progress. Today I am supposed to swim 300 yards and jog/walk for 30 minutes. I am going to jog/walk for 45 instead because I don't want to drive all the way to the pool and I am much more worried about the running than the swimming.

FYI- I started my Business/Corporate Firm job today and loved it! I start the Estate Planning job tomorrow and am optimistic that I will enjoy it as well. I plan to post about work later this week... :)
