Triathlon Season is here!

So it is officially here and I am officially in season right now! Triathlon season. It seems that it comes at me fast every year, and this year is no different. I have now completed the Utah Summer Games triathlon (sprint) and the
XangoEcho (Olympic) so far this year. It has so fart been a great year for me and triathlons.

For those of you who don't know, the distance for a sprint triathlon is roughly (1/2 mile swim, 12.5 mile bike, 3.1 mile run). For the Olympic you simply double those figures (1 mile swim, 25 mile bike, 6.2 mile run). Both are quite challenging for different reasons...

In the last triathlon that I was in... I was having a little bit of trouble during the bike...I could feel myself getting tired. It was funny because the song that came into my head to help me was the Utah State fight song...I started singing it out loud! I can't believe how much it helped! Anyway, I would highly suggest triathlons to anyone who is thinking about it! I can't believe how good I feel.
