I’ve been training for my first sprint triathlon the last few weeks, but I finally passed the point of no return. I signed up for the Dewey Beach Triathlon in September. I chose that one because we vacation in Rehobeth Beach, right next to Dewey Beach, every year so I’m somewhat familiar with the terrain.

This particular sprint triathlon is pretty tame by triathlon standards. My goal is to train for twice the distance and hope that helps me on race day. I’m not planning on winning, but I’ve got this crazy competitive streak that definitely isn’t satisfied finishing last! My goal is to be competitive with first timers and clydesdales (contestants over 200 lbs).

Really enjoying going after this particular life goal. I ran a half-marathon a few years ago, but it’s been awhile since I’ve trained for anything. Definitely needed a physical challenge!
