I swim, I bike, and I run. And then I run some more during the off season!
I wasn’t always race oriented, though. In fact, I didn’t actually start racing and having a good time with it until 2008 or 2009. Friends had tried to get me to do races, but I got to a point where I needed a healthy habit, and voila! I turned myself into a triathlete.
I joined Trizones Training in Austin, made some great friends there, and met my husband at a race. In 2010, we moved to North Carolina, and while the scene doesn’t quite measure up to Austin’s, I kept up with it. I joined groups and made some friends out there – which was amazing. We moved back to Austin, and I’ve got to say – I MISSED this racing scene!
I’ve written reviews of some of the races over the years, so I’ll link back to them and report my times here! Every athlete needs their running tally. Without further adieu…
