This symbol represents my vise, it's what I do, it's what fulfills my desire to challenge my body and mind - Triathlon.
Triathlon training is intense in that you must focus on three separate disciplines - Swim, Bike, Run - I true Ironman distance is 2.4 mile swim, bike 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles. Up to this point I have only competed in sprint distances. I just haven't had the opportunity to challenge myself further. With final baby # 3 and school obligations out of the way I feel I have the time to really bring this game to a new level. Even with my lack of training I was still coming in 1st or 2nd. With that I know I have the potential.
FINDING BALANCE
Balancing family, career, and training will be the key to my success. Elite triathletes find that either their family time suffers (or personal life) and training becomes their job.
For those who have family obligations I think it is important to note that in order to be a real competitor you really need the support of your family. They are your backbone as well as your cheer squad.
MY MISSION
My mission is to qualify...and complete in the 2014 Kona World Championship. I have a lot of training ahead of me. I need to build strength and I need to improve on my speed. I am not an elite triathlete just an age grouper with a mission to make it to Kona. My two year quest, filled with intense training, is what will get me there - without adversely affecting my family time and my career.

TRAINING SEASON - As training for most is coming to a close my training season has just begun. This blog will be my weekly outlet to share my progress. I look forward to blogging and keeping you entertained!
