Ironwoman Training

Five years ago I decided I wanted to participate in a triathlon before I turned 40. I took swim lessons, started running, and took my bike riding from spin classes to the great outdoors. Little did I know I'd get hooked on this crazy sport of swim, bike, and run. Although I enjoyed training on my own I thought it might be fun to give training with a group a "tri" (sorry, bad pun!). I joined the Trigirl/Triquest team. This amazing, crazy bunch has become my second family. The push and inspire me daily. The past two years I've gone on to compete in two tough and grueling half ironman races. Despite the challenges they presented, they are high up on my list of best days ever. This year I decided to join the full crazy train and sign up for a full ironman (Ironwoman) in Mont Tremblant Canada. Apparently it is beautiful and has mountains. Hmm. Training is in full swing with multiple hours each week and very long brick workouts on Saturdays. Some days are extremely difficult. This tribe of people helps inspire me and keep me going! Looking forward to the journey ahead.
