New start

This year I want to change things up. I've decided that instead of being crazy and doing crazy races without training I'm going to do smaller races and have one major event in September. I'll be racing the half Ironman triathlon in Branson, MO. This is going to be my training/racing blog I guess.

I started the running season with my first triathlon, which was a Lifetime Fitness indoor triathlon. That means 10 minutes to swim as many laps as you can, 30 minutes on a spin bike and 20 minutes on a treadmill. I actually talked Marnie into running it with me and she did pretty well, I think. I ended up getting 12th out of 68 competitors. Not had for my first triathlon! I'll do it again next year, but I want to do way better.

Last weekend on the 7th, Marnie and I went to Springfield, IL so I could run a half marathon with our old Bishop. It was a small half marathon, only 1600 people ran it. I ended up getting 698th. I'll definitely run it next year.
