goals for june:
this is kind of tricky because i'll be spending most of june tapering for the seattle rock and roll marathon on june 25, but i would love to break 150 miles in one month, so if not june then july. i'm also a little afraid to admit it, because then somehow its real, but i'm going to throw it out there...i've been thinking about doing a triathlon. just a sprint distance to start, but i'd really love to do a half ironman. i mean really, it makes good sense. i'm a pretty good swimmer (left over from years of high school swim) and i've really been enjoying the bike rides that josh and i have been taking and of course, i like running. duh. so another one of my june goals is to get clipless pedals for my hybrid and start riding more! (lets say "more" means 100 miles; need to have measurable goals, after all) and while i'm at it, my 3rd june goal is to swim at least 3 times. that should be a good start in case i want to get all craaaazy and sign up for one of these things. :)
(for those of you unfamiliar with tri distances, here are the distances:
sprint (can vary, but usually): swim 0.5 mile, bike 10 miles, run 3 miles
HIM (half ironman) (also known as an ironman 70.3): swim 1.2 miles, bike 56 miles, run 13.1 miles
ironman: swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run *A MARATHON * 26.2 miles)
anyone out there reading my blog ever do a triathlon? its just sounds so different from a road race, what with all the transitions and all. any first time stories? advice? and don't all comment at once...i don't want to get overwhelmed. :)
