In training

Greg Hicks and I are training for a triathalon.... Our goal is to do a Half Iron man which is 1.2 miles swimming followed by a 56 mile bike and finished with a 13.2 mile run. Why you ask? Because we can... or at least we think we can. We have been swimming laps in my condo pool for a few weeks now and Sunday we gave the open water a try at Pineview Reservoir. What did we learn? That we have a whole lot of training to do LOL! We only went to the bouy and back and did a terrible job of keeping a frestyle stroke going. The upside is that we didn't drown, we got a greast workout and we're learning a lot. There is an incredible amount of satisfaction that comes with reaching the progressive goals and I have almost conquered my fear of water, I hope.
