I biked at the YMCA for 77 minutes which is 20.5 miles on a random hill course.
Then, I ran for 10 minutes on a treadmill for 1 mile.
It's a punishment, of sorts, maybe, but I have a goal. Hopefully I don't get knocked off track (no pun intended) and I can attend the triathlon at the Wendell Moore Park in Buckner, Kentucky on September 10th, 2011.
I first got interested in triathlons after watching Sonjay Gupta compete in the NYC triathlon. It is actually running in 2 weeks. It sold out in less than 6 minutes. My race only allows 200 participants. The NYC race, which is about twice as difficult as mine, allows 3,000! What an accomplishment that would be! Hmmmm, who knows. I like working out and I need to lose weight, so it could be another goal for me for next year. There is no way I would be ready for that race in a couple of weeks. But, I will be watching. Maybe if I can continue the workouts I am doing, 6 days a week, swim, bike run, then who knows....smile.
I wouldn't pooh pooh the one I am entering, the bike ride has lots of big hills and the run is a combination of cross country and hard surface-it's pretty tough too.
About Me
- Feeling Simply Quilty
- Glad you stopped by my blog! My name is Julie. The phrase, "Feeling simply quilty", comes from the last episode of Frasier. It's the closing line of the final show. When Fraser is on a plane leaving Seattle, someone (I think Roz) asks him "how are you feeling, Frasier"? With a Cheshire cat grin, from ear to contented ear, his reply is, "I'm feeling simply quilty"...smile... It's a wonderful world we live in, even if there's all the bad we read about I can't help but feel simply quilty about my life and work...smile...
