Now that Ellie is here, I know that she's the focus and all, but... Since she has arrived, I have found it easier to slip into my old ways, and I have managed to find some of those pounds that I lost.
To counter this, I have set my sights on competing in and finishing the Mighty Mite Triathalon in July. The website is http://www.mightymite.racesonline.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=site.display&page_id=1694
It is basically a 1/3 mile swim, followed by a 13 mile bike ride in the horrible hills of Village Creek State Park, and ended with a lovely 3 mile run (ahem--that will probably be a run/walk for me...well, mostly walk).
One of last year's slowest times in the beginner category was set by a 71 year old man from Little Rock. Surely I can beat that...after all, he was from Little Rock. :)
Wish me luck...I've got lots of miles to ride and walk/run to get even close to being in shape for this one. By the way...does anyone have a pool where I can practice swimming?
