The Beginning

I've signed up for my very first Triathlon and I admit I'm scared out of my wits. Its the Westchester Tri on September 27, 2009, an Olympic length involving almost 1 mile swim, 26 mile bike, and 6 mile run. 

Our first organized training meet is this Monday for swim at the White Plains YMCA and this will be the first time in decades that I don a one piece swimsuit. Prancing around the dressing room of Models, I remember now why I've never worn a one-sie. Tri gear over all is JUST NOT CUTE. Beware all prissy gals.

Finally traded in the mountain bike for a comparable road bike and I plan to break it in with a 10 mile morning ride along the Bronx River Parkway. As eager as I am to hop right into the full length distances (sarcasm inserted here), building endurance in the first few weeks seems to be the key to the scheduled meets.

Stay tuned...
