End of winter...triathlons await...yes, you can!



Recommended Posts

So, my fellow lap-banders who have thought about or do triathlons - what are your goals?

My A race is the FL HIM in May. I'll be 20 months from band to 70.3 miles, and I cannot wait. I may not be fast, but I won't quit!! :thumbup:

For those of you wondering if you can...stop wondering and start moving...it can be done!! Small steps first though. Walk a mile, jog a mile, run a mile, then it is all just numbers. :thumbup:

I'm signed up for the following races:

5K - March 15th - it's a tune up for my first tri

ICE Breaker Tri - April 19th - it's a Sprint but the run is 4 miles. Yikes

Mermaid Tri - early June - it's pretty sure even for a Sprint but it's in my town and sounds like fun. I'm treating it as a B race

Tri for Fun #3 - Aug. 8th - regular sprint in the next town over. Lots of people in my club do this one.

I may do a 10k in Sept or Oct as well as prep for next season. It depends on how my season goes.

Well, I am going to give it a try this summer. I am going to do my first sprint in July! I am excited, but also very nervous!

My goal - to finish!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
