ATOWN Tri-Hards
Wall Posts
So my first real sprint distance of the season is coming up. It is a travel location and the logistics of the actual race are "interesting". So I am not ure how all of this will go but as soon as this is done on to the next. Lambeau Field for the Lambeau/Green Bay Packers 5k (just for fun), Oshkosh Triathlon, GO DIRTYGIRL Mud run and then fall events TBD. I am super pumped after or yucky weather to get to it!
Back at it only this time I am bringing the gear! New Trek Pilot 2.0 and a tri suit. I have been working hard at spin class and the instructor is teaching me a lot of raod bike basics. My new Trek is my first road bike and I super pumped that spring is here. In WI it will be a little bit yet but I am starting to get ready...wahoo! I am signed up for the Trek/Danskin Tri in Pleasent Prarie and the Oshkosh Tri so far. New Glarus was a huge challenge last year and I am still deciding...other races may also sneak in there. My goal is to start think Olympic distance in the two years...we will see!
Rock on!! This is the GOTRIbal spirit at work!
Moving onward and upward.... you rocked it.

When I did my first tri this last summer I thought I was going to die. My chain came off, I did not have a tri suit and wore my shorts in the pool, we swam four to lane in the pool, we had a huge incline right out of the first transition. It was REDICULOUS! LOL! New Glarus AlpHorn man traithlon is not a beginners tri but I had a great place to stay and the support of family. Not to mention a really cute 2.5 yr old yelling at me to go. I hated almost every minute of it but I MADE IT. I crossed the finish line. Dead last. I mean really DEAD LAST. I hurt, I walked on the run and somehow this did not dimish my spirit. This made me want to conquer it again. 7 days later there I was at the Oshkosh Tri and there were 1000 people at this one. New glarus was only 183. Well 183 that finished. I registered for Oshkosh last minute and in a rain storm hit the open water. I had wet socks, wet bike, wet everything. But as I was getting on my bike the sun started to peek out and then rain went away. It was like a sign that I could really do this this time. I may actually not finish last. As the race progressed it was awesome. I swam, biked, and actually ran and did not finish last! Some people did not even show up because of the weather. I can not put into words the sense of relief. The sense of accomplishment. The next one will be even better!
