Welcome, all, to my very first blog! This is a blog about my experiences as a middle-aged, middle distance, and middle of the pack triathlete.
If you are a veteran triathlete, or a triathlete who usually brings home the "hardware" from your races, you will probably find this a bit amusing. I am fairly new to the life of multisport, but am completely hooked and in it for the long haul. My goals may seem small, but for me they are huge!
If you are a novice, you may find my story a bit inspiring. I kind of fell into this new lifestyle completely on a whim as an overweight woman in my late 30's lacking direction, goals, and personal fulfullment. Within six months, I became a triathlete with my eye on an Ironman somewhere in my future.
If you are like me, not a veteran and not quite a novice anymore, then I hope you join me in the middle. It is kind of a neat place to be. There are plenty of athletes ahead of us to drive and inspire us, and plenty following us and working toward what we have already accomplished. I think both are important for the kind of growth that we need as triathletes!
You are inspiring Colleen. Alix is now running her first 5 K in two weeks. I tried to keep up with her, but to no avail...Keep on going!!!
