the quists: t r i

Ya that's right, I'm signed up for a triathlon. I have been training for over 2 months now and it has been really fun. I still don't feel ready but I have a few more weeks. I've always been nervous to sign up for one because I worried about the swimming but I am really excited now that I have been training. The distances seem short, but put the 3 together and it is tough!

Swim-first pool triathlon8-lane 50 meter Olympic pool

Swimmers enter pool at timed intervals to keep pool crowding at a minimum.
Start at one end and zig-zag to complete the 400 meter swim

Bike

UDOT closes down a portion of the course to traffic
Challenging and fun course!

Run

5 Kilometer run course
Last 400 Meters of the race are indoor
Your friends and family watch you cross the finish line seated comfortably inside the Utah Olympic Oval!

Anyways, thought I would share since I feel like I spend a lot of my free time training. Hopefully it will be worth it!
