Flashback to June 2008...remember how I did that triathlon that was actually a biathlon? Well, the race bug has hit me again. I'm getting ready for a triathlon in Hillsboro, Texas on May 7th. Most people around here think I'm crazy for driving all the way to the Dallas area for a race, when Lubbock is hosting a tri about 2 weeks later. But of course, like most races in Texas, the one in Lubbock is on a Sunday. It makes me miss living in Utah where all events are on Saturdays. I'm just glad I found one (that isn't just for kids) on a Saturday. Gratefully I am starting off in better shape that I did last time, so I don't think training will be quite as hard this time. Yesterday I ran and swam and it felt pretty good. I love having something like this to get ready for...it helps me work harder, eat better, and be more consistent since the last thing I want is to not be able to finish. It's pretty doable... 500 meter swim, 16.2 mile bike, and 3.2 mile run. Wish me luck!
I just hope they don't cancel the bike again...lame.

Eres mi héroe!
Go be awesome. Is it a full tri or just a sprint?
Ooh, Aaron's been planning to do one this year but hasn't got a date yet. We just may come join you if he can get working out again . . .
And I'm serious. I want him to do it. Like you said, it's hard to find them on Saturday. . . . We'll be i touch.
You are my hero too! Good luck, although you don't need luck cause I'm sure you will do great!!
wish we could be there to cheer you on!
Rock on woman! If I weren't super pregnant then I would do it with you! One day we'll get a race in together! Good luck and have tons of fun!
